Donald Trump said he looked forward to seeing Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 Summit Friday Trump and Putin's meeting comes at a pivotal time in relations between Russia and the United States Federal investigators are continuing to look into Russia's interference in the 2016 US presidential election President Donald Trump got closer to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin than ever on Friday when the two men met backstage at the G20 meeting.

Putin smiling. You can’t help but like Trump.
(Unless you’re an insane leftist.)
Finally! Proof that the Soviets stole the election and are siphoning our precious bodily fluids.
You mean like these two clowns?
Hope he tells Putin he’ll have more flexibility after his reelection.

Is that Chavez he is with? Holy cow, what an ultra d-head B. Hussein is.
No doubt talking $$$$$$. “I’ll make this sizable donation to your Clinton foundation and you get me my uranium”
Trump: "Tell that to CNN."
The real news here is that the German “government” mounted the video camera atop a still camera, essentially sneaking a video of Trump and Putin. Dirty doings by Merkel’s goons.
I did not realize what a peanut that Putin is compared to DJT!
That photo makes Putin look like a little boy next to Trump.
