From the Kremlin: Trump, Putin to hold bilateral meeting

President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will sit down for an official bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Hamburg on Friday, rather than an informal pull-aside meeting.

The meeting, confirmed by both the White House and the Kremlin on Tuesday, will be the first official bilateral meeting between a US and Russian president in nearly two years and comes amid ongoing tensions between the two countries.

"It is planned as a fully-fledged, 'seated' meeting," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday, according to the state-run TASS news agency.

He'll prolly give away what remains of our election integrity, plus all of Manhattan for $24 worth of beads and trinkets.
Interviewed about the fallout, an exasperated Trump will assert- "WHAT?!?! He said nice things about me!"

Is not a debatable point of view or
a partisan issue. It is our first line
of defense if we are to remain the
land of the free and the home of the
brave. Talk of removing the sanctions
After Russian interference in our election
is, in my opinion , treasonous .
Happy 4th.

And a bedroom.

It is so just in our faces except for those stupid republican voters.

Putin has already wrote the marching orders for Trump.

47 states not ceded to Russia.

I guess we're not hearing much from Rump because he's busy out shopping for friendship rings.
