U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin shook hands to start their much-hyped summit in Helsinki, with Trump telling the world, “We need to get along…” The two men will spend 90 minutes together with nothing but interpreters.

Trump bashed previous American presidents for their ‘stupidity’ in letting relations between the world’s two largest nuclear powers get so strained.
President Obama thought that Crooked Hillary was going to win the election, so when he was informed by the FBI about Russian Meddling, he said it couldn’t happen, was no big deal, & did NOTHING about it. When I won it became a big deal and the Rigged Witch Hunt headed by Strzok!

Our relationship with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of U.S. foolishness and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt!

Both men have set low expectations for the meeting.
