Trump looked very off after the official private meeting with Putin in a few photos I saw. Trump might have been sundowning or Putin had conveyed something to Trump that so weakened Trump that is body language and facial expressions looked drained and defeated. In one photo of Trump shaking Putin’s hand, Trump isn’t even gripping Putin’s hand. Trump always does everything for himself so whatever this meeting was about he didn’t get anything he wanted and probably got news that Putin has something for him he definitely does not want.
Hard info about what they discussed is scant right now. All we have are statements by Trump and the EU leaders. The latter seem to be grasping for anything meaningful, not finding much, but still finding ways to praise the Cheeto, which is a wise tactical move.
Putin nyeted a ceasefire and Trump is pitching that as a good thing, because of course he would. A ceasefire then negotiations to move Poots off of "What I took is mine. That part I didn't take yet is mine. No EU. No NATO." is complicated, time consuming, and well outside his Adderall attention span. "He wants peace now. It's up to Zelensky" is much simpler.
I think he doesn't understand that he won't get that Nobel by blaming Ukraine for his own failure. Sad.
"Security guarantees inspired by NATO Article 5" are getting oxygen, so maybe that came up. I can't even with that. We gave Ukraine security guarantees already, and dropped them like a hot fucking potato the minute they became inconvenient.
And, you know, sometimes you step back and realize your country is still sending weapons to Israel to use to bounce the rubble in the Gaza offensive, but refuses to send anything directly to Ukraine to enable it to defend itself.
Y'know, if PAB was *really* only interested in making himself look good, he would've done this: Once he & Putin were in a room with limited exits, he would have beckoned to or signaled a guy by one of the doors, and then a bunch of INTERPOL or UN MPs would've come in to arrest Putin on his ICC warrant.
*Big* poll boost for PAB, massive distraction from Epstein, huge amounts of goodwill from a lot of people.
But none of that happened, which just shows that what he's really interested in is sucking up to Putin to be part of the Big Boy Autocrat club.
There was in fact a Breakthrough at today's highly anticipated Putin / Trump / Mostly Putin meeting. For nearly 38 seconds -- while preparing to climb the Air Fred One Airstairs -- Sir toyed with a Personal Breakthrough indicating to Sir that Sir was in fact and effect utterly useless, until Sir noticed something Sir found odd about Sir's 'specially-chosen event tie.
Krasnov still thinks of war as a real estate deal by other means. So to him, it makes sense to offer mineral rights to Putin in exchange for a peace deal. Putin gets to keep the territory he’s already taken plus drilling rights off the coast of Alaska. Krasnov gets mining rights in Ukraine plus a Nobel Peace Prize (LOL). And Zelenskyy gets fucked for not being willing to help him rig the 2020 election.
In his syphilitic and dementia ridden brain, it makes perfect sense.
Translation: Putin reminded Trump who holds the cards.
Nice work Krasnov, you treasonous piece of shit! Can’t wait to virtually piss on your grave 🤬💦🪦
Dude got played again.
Will tRump ever be alone with Putin? You know, alone. How else to pass on any sensitive stuff, like from the bathroom in florida.

He looked the same way after Helsinki. Getting his marching orders from Putin

He's so bottomlessly stupid

Evan has an amazing post on the psychosexual motivations of Donald and MAGAT men on the "Moral Momemt" blog
"Ew", but also fascinating
That's actually brilliant. But, as we know, "brilliant" won't touch trump with a 10-foot pole.
Seriously. If Arty McDeals were actually good at this, that would have been his hole card.
JCfromNC For President!
Wanna bet Trump was really pissed off that he had to take the "OLD!!" VC-25A instead of his gold-plated Qatari gift plane?
THIS JUST IN

The Art of the Deal Dealmaker Deals with Sudden Deality, Finds No Deal.

What's the difference between Donald Trump and a fiddle?
Putin can't play the fiddle.
The Good News is Putin gave Sir his orders in just a few minutes! The Bad News is Putin gave Sir his orders in just a few minutes!
He gave him $$$ too
I'm told Putin can see Alaska from his porch.
👩🍳 💋
Can this be true? Ukrainian refugees are now suddenly ICE fodder??
I have to side-eye folks who didn't care about ICE fodder till now but suddenly care because it's Ukrainians
https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/28/europe/students-allege-racism-ukraine-cmd-intl
Ouch.
I'm just saying
It was even in the news -- but those who did not want to pay attention did not pay attention
and I'm talking about White Democrats and White people "on the left" and the Biden Administration
Yes, I am
Their humanitarian refugee status expires today.
Trump is dining with Putin.
In Alaska.
I was of the impression that ICE would focus on the "Irish Problem", not all these innocent refugees.
Never going to happen
He has no Irish problem
That seems improbable, we all have an Irish problem.
We do our best to be problematic. You’re welcome.

Six hour meeting schedule:
Hour one:
meet w Poot and get debriefed on next assignment for Krasnov, Donnie gives quick mandatory handie to Pooter
Hours two through five:
nap, diaper change, catheter replacement cartridge, cankle dvt massage, more naps, bear steaks with ketchup private romantic dinner with Poot
Hour six:
pose for cameras while pretending something happened when the capitulating was already prearranged years ago.
They didn't manage to pretend convincingly in front of the cameras that something happened.
It was past Dementia Cheeto's bedtime, and someone forgot to bring the Adderall.
Two thumbs up!
