Trump was the only American at the 2nd meeting.
But he knows NOTHINK! about the Don Jr. meeting.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE! STANDARD PROTOCOL!
On a serious note, lets apply the “Turing Test” to the Trump campaign.
Consider the hypothetical world where they did collude with the Russians. In what ways would their behavior and policies be any different?
Whad’ya mean hypothetical?
The opposite of “hyperthetical”. Meaning too much thetical rather than not enough,
Not even a translator.
Jesus, what a fucking moron.
NOT ILLEGAL! That’s all that is important now.
You can only let your pet moron off the leash for so long before you have to call him in for new marching orders.
Hey now, the trumps don’t consider sitting down with someone and talking as a meeting. insert rolling eyes here The protocols that every other politician has followed have been ignored by trump and his family. I’m simply flabbergasted that we can not throw the lot of them in jail yet.
One thing is nagging at me here: seeing a bunch of pictures of that dinner, see the empty chair, how come we don’t see the Orange Curse sitting next to Putin? Were the pictures few and far between, for some reason?
Anyway, its not like it couldn’t have an innocent explanation, like plain ol’ dumb. I mean, its not like Bill Clinton talking on an airplane with Atty Gen Lynch, which clearly reeks of skulduggery!
Could be they kicked out the press corp at some point through the dinner, but it is strange that no one seems to be explaining this discrepancy.
Reports say that the conversation lasted up to an hour. They are trying to dismiss it as a quite chat over dessert and the like. Even if this was 100% on the up and up and Trump was doing nothing untoward the optics and context are very bad.
So nothing unusual here. Same old same old. If Obama had of done anything like this there would have been uproar but this will be hand waved away as nothing.
Well, Graham and/or McCain will tell us that they are “concerned” about it. So, that’s something, right?
Trump&Co are simply naive and new to politics. Mistakes happen. :rolleyes:
Trump continues to disgust and amaze. How is such a meeting possibly appropriate? God, I wish he would just disappear…
Who knew that presidentin’ was so hard? Nobody!
What was discussed? Giving the compounds back to Russia or the pee-pee tape comes out? What needs to happen to make the money Donald owes Russia to be forgiven?
They’d be better managed.
This BBC article says that Melaina was originally sitting next to Putin, so she probably just moved out of the way. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40651502 Trump was supposed to be sitting with the Japanese PM’s wife, whose name slips my mind at the moment.
Actually, there probably wouldn’t. Since Obama wasn’t under investigations for secret dealings with Russia, and friendly chat between the leaders over dinner probably would have passed unnoticed.
The problem is that with Trumps other Russia issues this adds to the circumstantial evidence against him, or as you said optics.
Now if Obama had spent an hour at an unreported dinner with the Kenyan head of state that would have set of whooping alarm bells o the right wing conspiracy machine.
Do we still own Alaska?
It’s all about real estate deals. Trump is Making Russia Great Again!
