Another spin by the Repukes - don't let it go unchallenged - The meeting with Putin was 2 hrs, good!

No, that is a bad thing!!!!!

Any good negotiator goes into a meeting with an agenda (doesn't have to be written but if your a suspected to be in collusion then written is a good idea) and time line. Team orange dipshits did neither, team Putin did and then exploited the weakness by extending the meeting.

So while the tRump group was trying to shut the meeting down, (Melania sent in to try to conclude meeting so they are either incompetent or lying or both) Putin wanted to extend it. He knew tRump can't focus, so you wear him down, make him think he is in command while directing the negotiations toward what is best for your side.

The direct result of this is the fucking idiotic negotiations was the mistake of "teaming" with Russia on cyber security. Not one of the mother fucking idiots on team tRump saw this coming. Not one of the mother fucking idiots on team tRump shut it down, the result is the fucking idiots agree to something and then announce it! This can not be stressed enough! Not only did they agree to something that was bad for the Country, they actually used it as a success talking point! It took them more than 24 hours to realize just how fucking stupid they were.

In summary, the self described great negotiator made the following rookie mistakes:

1. Complete lack of preparation directly resulted in loss of control of meeting and agenda.
2. When an unforeseen issue arises they were not skilled enough to direct meeting away from subject.
3. Inability do properly negotiate along with ego leads to being ignorant enough to announce your one sided agreement.
