    From the NY Times:

    After three hours of talks, President Trump and President Vladimir Putin of Russia told reporters that they had made progress on unspecified issues, but they gave no details, took no questions, and most importantly failed to announce a cease-fire of any kind.

    The meeting broke up several hours before scheduled, and far short of the six or seven hours of discussions that Mr. Putin’s aides said they expected for the talks. The fact that they took no questions made it clear they did not want to be pressed on details.

    Sounds really productive

      Doesn’t take a whole lot of time for Putin to coach him on what to do and say. If he falls out of line, the kompromat flows.

        I don’t even think it’s blackmail. Like, maybe there is some, but the idiot is such a simp for dictators. He’d do all this with or without it.

            Trump has money issues and Russia bailed him out in the late 90s/early 00s.

              He had money issues. Then he ran for president again and got in bed with the crypto industry.

      Sounds like the meeting was just long enough for Trump to receive his new orders.

    My crazy theory on why they’re so quiet.

    Trump agreed to pull support from Ukraine. Probably some trade agreement with Russia.

    Crazier theory. Trump agreed to help Russia win.

    Their silence makes me very suspicious.

      I’m sure he doesn’t want to be in Alaska when releasing the Epstein files details.
