Great points. I can’t recall if it was a recent memory of Trump, or a recollection of a piece on Nixon or Reagan - but there was much to do about one of them meeting in private with some foreign leader. No advisors, no press. Maybe an interpreter.
The reason being is that then they could discuss things openly and frankly. Of course, it might have also included Trump and Putin finalizing their plans to take over the world too I guess.
It was Trump and Putin, and the nitwit fake news was full of righteous indignation that he was not sharing with the American People or the press what he discussed with Putin. New on the job, huh?
