No matter what happens at President Trump's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin today, Trump will have Sean Hannity there right afterward to help him spin it positively. The two old friends will tape an interview tonight that will spread Trump's talking points all across MAGA media. Because, as Politico put it, "On 'Hannity,' Trump's summits are a smashing success." ...And that story was from 2019. See, having Hannity on the sidelines of a high-stakes summit " for reassurance, for MAGA marketing, for whatever you'd call it " is a time-honored Trump tradition. Hannity had the first sit-down with Trump after the June 2018 Singapore summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Later that summer, Hannity had an exclusive debrief with Trump after the Helsinki press conference with Putin that was widely seen as disastrous. "Even on Fox, Trump's Helsinki performance was 'ridiculous' and 'surreal,'" The Atlantic wrote afterward.
