Thank you for that link and the timing of the clip, which made em actually want to look at it. Genius questions, genius focus. Why do our political leaders hate Putin more than the communist heads of Russia? Why do they want our president to be unable to keep us safe? Why do they want him to conflagration conflict with the other nuclear superpower rather than subdue it?
Must see tv. That Cohen.
did anyone hear the MSM freaking out about Obama-appointed World Bank (technically the UN) President meeting with communist dictator for life Xi on the very same day as the Trump/Putin meeting, with not a word of criticism!

Kim expressed gratitude to China for its long-term great support to the World Bank.

15 Sept 2016: Financial Times: Jim Yong Kim heads for second term as World Bank President
by Shawn Donnan in Washington
Jim Yong Kim is heading for another five-year term as president of the World Bank after no other candidates emerged during a hurried nomination process.
But critics warn that both Mr. Kim and the World Bank’s legitimacy risk being further damaged by the US’s decision to speed through the Korean-born American’s reappointment before President Barack Obama leaves office early next year. They also argue that the lack of other candidates is a symoptom of how many big emerging economies such as China are turning away from the Washington-based lender to focus on their own new institutions...
In a letter last month the World Bank’s influential staff association complained of “a crisis of leadership” and asked the bank’s board to conduct a global search for a replacement for Mr. Kim, a call joined by a group of former bank officials who have been lobbying for shareholders to find a replacement...
The US and other major shareholders have ignored such calls, arguing for urgency and for a move before November’s US presidential election and a possible victory by Donald Trump, the Republican candidate running on a largely isolationist platform...
