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)

Yes Kim U-fat is a brat, and unless he behaves, DJTs MOAB will make him flat. China needs to realize that.

And probably smells of cabbage!

The limp wrist mindset is prone to extremes.

Either it cowers weakly, or it licks the boots of demonic power and gets all caricatured tough.

This came home to me when, of all things, I was surfing randomly on You Tube for piano videos and came across this dude named Cowell who... get this... wrote piano pieces to be played with the entire forearm. Even had weird symbols on the score to denote it. He was gay in his day — the psychologists called it “invert” at the time. Sad... being either shrinking cowardly or pushed around by his idols in idolatrous boldness. There are other historical men like that. Adolf Hitler was one.

It finds a balance difficult or impossible to strike due to the weakness.

The ultimate real answer to the problem is the love of God.

But anyhow, politically. Piss Obama off enough when he’s on a macho trip, and watch out world. I’m not sure Mr. Putin relished the notion. You can deal man to man with Trump.

Good for both of the Men. Now have a summit for just the two to work out problems. No bye standers, tapes or tricks.

And maybe agreeing to coordinate their wrath on a monster of the world, namely jihadism.

"Probably exchanging Hillary and Obama jokes."

That was my thought. I'm sure they had themselves a few laughs over those two.

Once when Pat Robertson interviewed Donal Trump on the campaign trail, Trump said, I JUST HAVE A SPECAIL INSTINCT, I CAN READ PEOPLE, I CAN TELL WHAT THEY THINK OF ME. I think his ability to think with his gut, and go for his instincts is what has kept him ahead of all of the liberal media.

But it was like Obama was like... Putin, I’ll be your rubber band man.

Trump is like, we’ve both got a real world to live in, how can we make things better?

"One of their bridges in Kenya just collapsed."

Saw that, and was wondering if the same Chinese firm that built it, have also been involved in building the China sea bridge.

GWB might have seen soul in Putin, but was too weak to bring God into the picture. And so he could do nothing when that soul sinned.

Trump’s gonna be different, I just betcha.

“See? They’re COLLUDING!”

That'll be Joe's words. Mika won't be sure what "colluding" means until Joe explains it to her.

He had to lay aside his ownership of the property for the purpose of the presidency, so I think they’ll just get paid for normally out of diplomatic budgets.

But it’s kind of an amusing thought... if it was just him privately, he doubtless would....
