Donald Trump’s Self-Own Summit with Vladimir Putin
Even the puffery-prone President couldn’t alchemize his non-deal with Russia into Trumpian gold.

Was it worth it to wipe the Epstein story from the headlines for a week? The DC deployment would’ve done that anyway.

Mebbe James Baker can still swing a deal

His whole life is a joke. Sad. Sick.

Pathetic show to distract America. Oh, and release the Epstein files.

Trump couldn’t keep his hands off Putin. 🤫

Will russia be barred from the Olympics as long as they occupy any of Ukraine, including Crimea?

Trump broke basic protocol. He rode alone with Putin in his limo, no aides, no interpreters — unheard of. Then he let Putin speak first at a press event in the U.S., where the host should lead.

The fool on the hill missed the Nobel Peace Price … again

Germans have been washing their hands of Hitler for five generations, I don't know how many generations Americans will have to bear the shame of Trump... this is some kind of terrible shame....

Instead of the word "alchemize" maybe we should be using the term "alzheimerize." Trump, with his psychological issues plus lack of judgement and cognition, was a complete diplomatic wreck yesterday. We need Zelensky and Europe to step in, as good caregivers do, and try to get things on track.

That Trump is a fool is self-evident.But American voters - they are the true idiots. You had a choice between Clever Black Lady and Senile Orange Gangster, and you said: "Yep, Senile Orange Gangster is the president for us."

The explanation of Trump's behavior 👇
Trump fears Putin. Trump wants to please Putin because Putin, the Soviet ex-KGB lieutenant, has dirt on Trump.
Trump would sell our country and and all of us to have this kompromat hidden.

He got played

100,000s dead, war crimes galore with wanton destruction on an industrial scale and we get this fatuous display. What a pair of morally bankrupt arseholes.

Who could have seen this coming?

Phillips P. OBrien:
I’ve figured out Trump’s superpower.
He can break into your house, steal all your money, abduct your children and the burn down the building.
But as long as he does not shoot the dog, people will say he could have been worse.

The telling line: “leaving stunned journalists to interpret the cryptic outcome.” Like Charlie Brown’s football—to not predict the result of the #AlaskaSummit scrum, you have to be pretty dumb. Clueless journalists shouldn’t be glum for nabbing no crumb: the guy’s a bum, they should beat that drum.

Putin takes Trump for the fool he is.
-
Trump couldn’t keep his tiny hands off of Putin! He kept touching him!
-
"Was that really it, after all Trump’s hype?"
Anyone in the press corps who thought something positive might come out of this disgusting farce hasn't been paying attention. Sadly, seems that applies to quite a few.
Putin should have been arrested for war crimes the moment he stepped on U.S. soil.

America is WEAK

Excellent article.

Even in Trump‘s version of the world: you make pomp announcements only if you think that you will have something to show — some major mispredictions on MAGA‘s side. One of them could be about Trump‘s own bargaining skill.

Russia, Russia, Russia. Still here. Just keeps growing stronger every day.

Simply watch what the Trump sons do now. That will tell you what Putin offered Trump. Watch who travels to Moscow to scout out a Trump Tower. And what other new businesses they get involved in.

Substance aside, for Trump as someone who is obsessed with imagery, even the imagery of this charade was undeniably bad. Almost Four Seasons Total Landscaping bad … almost.

You are now officially a rogue nation. Un democratic and in bed with a mass murderer. Congratulations. Please build four walls around yourself to keep it from spreading.
