1. Putin owns Trump and we all need to start saying that.

The 2018 elections will be stolen by Putin for republicans.

It is happening now.

Trump is a traitor.

3. Trump has no agenda, but Putin does. Hope Trump is not too hard on him.

4. Sure, Rump has an agenda (if he can remember it):

#1. Any chance of a Rump International Hotel in Moscow?
#2. Can I have a little more time on my loan?
#3. Any chance of a Rump International Hotel in Saint Petersburg?
#4. Can I have a little more time on my loan?
#5. Please?

5. Putin will run circles around him.

Putin is a master manipulator. And smart.

6. Underlings don't set the meeting agenda

The boss sets the agenda; President Trump is just there to go along with whatever Putin says.

I'm surprised that nobody in the popular media is opining on just how weak and ineffectual Trump has looked these past several days. North Korea firing off test missiles, China refusing to hop to Trump's command, that whole doctored video from years ago trying desperately to make Trump look tough in a staged fight. None of this presents an argument for a President in firm control of the office.
