Trump, Putin meeting: 'Neither wanted to stop'

Even US First Lady Melania Trump was powerless to keep the first face-to-face meeting of the US and Russian presidents from running well over time.

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said he tried several times to remind President Donald Trump about the ticking clock during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit in Hamburg.

"One of the reasons it took a long time ... is because once they met and got acquainted with one another fairly quickly, there was so much to talk about. There was just such a level of engagement and exchange that neither of them wanted to stop," Mr Tillerson told reporters.

He said the two men connected quickly and had "a very clear positive chemistry."(continued)

Being a Russian, Vlad’s a Vodka man.

This is great news. Trump should start talking with the Chinese as well. We have a common enemy in Islam. Lets put aside our differences, stop wasting money on nuclear weapons were are never going to use and put up a united front against the barbarian death cult.

This is good news. The best news all week. We knew they’d admire each other and get along.

I agree.

And most of America’s bric-a-brac is sourced there too.

Why do I get better cowboy garb from China than from the USA? Chow mein yeehaws. It seems something has gone crazy. Like the USA is now a caricature using China to help it reminisce about what it had once been, and die in its reminiscences.

Vlad is probably glad that world’s superpower is no longer run by a limp wristed gender confused wimp in mom jeans.

... with something to prove.

Donald doesn’t have to prove squat. He’s the real deal. He wouldn’t saber rattle to be macho.

Vodka ... I’ve seen it happen. A few toasts of vodka with Russians and you’d be amazed how much we suddenly have in common. Alexis de Tocqueville understood.

Maybe even sooner.

Donald sees no point in a pissing contest. Well rather, when Donald wants to piss, he just tweets. He doesn’t scorch earth. He lets earth scorch itself out of rabid fury.

All well and good, but we are still worlds apart on many key issues. Also, their stance on North Korea and proposal was a load of Говно.

Oh no, that’s awful. We wouldn’t want to be on good terms with a SuperPower that could kill every American, Man-Women-Child. A dangerous, hostile, cold war footing, is much better.

Probably exchanging Hillary and Obama jokes.

Trump was showing Vlad the latest CNN meme on his smart phone.
