“And what was really stunning to me as someone who has been in a lot of these press conferences was a few things that were very unusual,” she said.

“You had Putin come out and address the press first. We are on U.S. soil here. And that left the media scrambling to get their headsets in. Usually, it is the leader of the country — the host country of a summit that speaks first and addresses. Putin started off in Russian. And we all had to get our heads set on and listen to him rattle off the diatribe about the history of the U.S. and Russia.”

    Well realistically since Trump is a puppet of Russia, Russia now controls the U.S., so yes, the true leader of the U.S. did address his people first.

    This all checks out. America voted in a Russian puppet, who has systematically destroyed everything great about the nation relations it once has in the western hemisphere.

    Surprisingly one of the countries coming out ahead in all of this is…Russia.

    Go figure.
