Putin confirmed his measure of this pathetic mook seven years ago in Helsinki. In the newsbiz you'd put "30" to that.

It is truly sad that a great nation like the U.S. has to be represented by such a con mam as Trump!
No matter how much he promises Putin for peace he will claim to be a great dealmaker and peacemake cease fire that could end r. I expect niether tomorrow but I'd love to be surprised if Trump brings a fair agreement that could end Putin's evil war but I won't hold my breath.

@#5 ... It is truly sad that a great nation like the U.S. has to be represented by such a con mam as Trump! ...

I am awaiting the outcome of this meeting to see if Pres Trump still seems to be sub-servant to Pres Putin, as he was in the 2018 Helsinki conference.
