Trump: Second Putin Huddle Only Lasted "15 Minutes"

JUST IN: Trump: My second undisclosed meeting with Putin only lasted 15 minutes http://hill.cm/HOrKQpb

President Trump on Wednesday described his second recent meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin as an exchange of “pleasantries” that lasted about “15 minutes.”

The meeting, which took place following a first, formal meeting between the two world leaders at the G-20 summit, was not acknowledged by the White House until Tuesday.

Reports said the private conversation lasted for more than an hour and was only attended by Putin's translator.

“It was not a long conversation, but it was, you know, could be 15 minutes,” Trump told The New York Times. “Just talked about things. Actually, it was very interesting, we talked about adoption. ... Interesting because it was a part of the conversation that Don had in that meeting."

I guess his base will buy this like all his other bullshit but it just enrages the people who are paying attention and realize he has yet to tell the truth about anything to do with Russia.

I just can't find how he thinks this will work out well for him in the end.

How dare he say Mueller shouldn't investigate family finances unrelated to Russia. What a fucking, lying crook!

step 1. deny. check

step 2 lie about what happened. check

on to step 3 by tomorrow admit some truth and say that is all.

step 4. say you did it, but it wasn't illegal.

step 5 tweet something so insane that this gets ignored by the press. This will happen by Fri night/Sat morning.

Dump is a serial liar. It's his default setting. Therefore, everything he says is untrue. Everything that runs through his lint speck-sized brain gets checked by his dishonesty override.

You never get the straight, honest-to-god truth out of that fat bastard.
