    LOL... the always cool, playing it hard to get Trump casually catches Putin's eye at the G20... and what is that last motion with the hand?

    Funny how poorly Trump and his own people are rarely on the same message, but Trump and his boss are in lockstep... its almost as if they had a meeting to agree on messaging?

    TRUMP AND RUSSIA ARE EVEN USING THE SAME WORDS TO ATTACK THE MEDIA OVER SECRET PUTIN MEETING

    Good news... this should mean that the Trump-Putin deal is dead... sanctions are already working.

    For those wondering how embolden by his victory Putin has been since helping get Trump elected...

    Putin is now bringing an age old tradition to the US of mob style political hits.... and seemingly at this time getting away with it.



    Will anyone be shocked if this trend continues? Will we begin to see journalists also start getting wacked here in the US too or do we think Putin will only touch Russians?

    Putin is a consummate professional and I hope he retires a Rocket.

    Trump is kind of in a lameduck situation. With new sanctions, he's not that useful for Putin anymore.

    It is strange that Trump got upset at the "unpresidential" reception Obama got from foreign leaders, but he has no reaction to the expulsion of diplomats serving the United States. Trump apparently has no concern about it at all.

    Has Trump even signed the congressional bill on sanctions yet? Or was he too busy playing golf?

    Trump received the sanctions bill four days ago and still has not signed it. Too busy, playing golf? Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked about the snactions bill and her response was that Trump was still reviewing the bill.

    Some have guessed that Trump would try to pocket veto the bill but congress will still be in session on the last day that Trump has to sign the bill (August 7). So he can't snake out that way.

    My gosh, this should be a no-brainer... that is, if you have a brain, and aren't collaborating with Putin...

    Trump administration sends conflicting signals on Russia sanctions

    I think it happened more than once. But at one point, Trump said he would have turned around and left the G20 because they had Obama exiting Air Force One onto a metal staircase instead of onto a red carpeting like some of the other nation's leaders.
