The American people should be nervous as Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have been talking alone for two-plus hours.
This update was provided to PoliticusUSA by the White House traveling press pool, “Update: while holding in the courtyard, a Finnish press official told the pool that the 1:1 meeting between Trump and Putin is still ongoing, which means it is pushing 2 hours.”
What are Trump and his role model Putin discussing? Are they making plans for Russian meddling in the midterm election? Maybe. It is highly likely, given Trump’s behavior in previous one on one meeting with US adversaries, that he is giving Putin everything that he could dream of. Trump is probably agreeing to give Russia free reign in Syria. He is probably promising not to interfere in Putin’s “sphere of influence,” and vowing to end US sanctions against Russia.
When the two hold their joint press conference, expect lots of happiness from the Russians, because as Rep. Adam Schiff pointed out, if Kim Jong-un could eat Trump’s lunch, the feeble US president will be no problem for Putin.
Given Trump’s glowing statements about Putin, behavior toward Russia, and his refusal to do anything about the 2016 election crimes, the treason summit is definitely not looking good for the American people and US democracy.
The more time that Trump spends alone with Putin, the national security danger to the United States only increases with each passing moment.
