Putin came to Alaska and refused Trump's pleas to end Russia's war against Ukraine. The White House tried to spin that ill-advised summit into at least a draw between Putin and Trump, but when the Kremlin's dictator shows up with no interest in negotiation, speaks first at a press conference, and then caps the day by declining a carefully planned lunch and flying home, that's a humiliation, not an exchange of views.

Fat Smelvis got teabagged in Alaska just like he did in Helsinki.

It's so weird how Republicans don't realize Trump is destroying the country.

But I guess history tells this story time and time again.

It's gotta suck to be the weird hateful fat kid no one wants at their party.

I am sure he will find a way to have his revenge and retribution. On some poor innocent bystander.

Did the world ever take Trump seriously?

He's a fat brat who bankrupted every business he's been associated with and now he's bankrupting America.

Republicans are morons.

That's pretty much it.
He's taking his revenge on all of America, for not loving him like North Koreans love Lil Kim, like Russian love Putin.
