It will be a private meeting. At most, we'll maybe see pictures of them before the meeting and then after the meeting. But the meeting itself will be confidential and we'll only learn what each side will say - if there is some sort of press conference after the meeting - and each side will have their own interpretation.
Listening to the cable news channels today - they have been putting a lot of emphasis on this meeting - like we're going to hear exactly what was discussed.
A lot of the talking heads are saying that Trump will get played by Putin. And that Trump is a rookie compared to Putin with respect to meetings like this with foreign leaders.
We know whatever is discussed - Trump will come out telling us that his performance at the meeting was great and that Putin didn't know what hit him.
I'm just thinking that too much emphasis has been placed on this meeting that we'll learn practically nothing about.

It is the boss telling the peon what he will do, how and when.
Sanctions will be discussed and how trump can lift them, putin will threaten him probably with releasing loan info.
What the American folks need to understand is PUTIN is a KILLER
Putin is a DICTATOR. Putin wants our resources, eventually, but for now he wants to sell his, the ones he STOLE from his people.
Stupid fucking republicans think Putin is their pal, geezus you are some dumbsumbitches.

(1,124 posts)smiling and fawning we'll know that Putin has given Trump his next instructions on how to proceed. Trump is an idiot and Putin will play him like the fool he is. Trump has no idea who he's messing with.
