'Very good start': Trump's direct talks with Putin go into overtime

'Very good start': Trump's direct talks with Putin go into overtime as presidents speak for TWO HOURS after U.S. leader says he hopes for 'extraordinary relationship' and Kremlin strongman smirks at election meddling question

President Trump is in Helsinki, Finland for a summit with Vladimir Putin that is running behind

He was to meet the Russian president for 90 minutes one-on-one but talks lasted two hours

Putin was late to the summit, as well, pushing it back by an hour right after the bat

Trump began Monday by bashing the Mueller probe, 'Crooked Hillary,' and Barack Obama and went after U.S. 'foolishness and stupidity' dealing with Russia

Russia's ministry of foreign affairs said it agreed with him in a response

Trump earlier vented that no matter how well he does he won't be appreciated

Blasted the media as the 'enemy of the people,' a term used in Soviet times, over the weekend

Said that Democrats and his critics would go after him even if 'I was given the great city of Moscow'

The shots came after indictments of 12 Russian spies accused of election hack conspiracy

Trump said in an interview taped Saturday of his meeting with Putin: 'I go in with low expectations'

There is no clear agenda for Monday's meeting and no 'deliverables' agreed to in Helsinki

Foreign policy experts worried the president would promise concessions to Putin - Trump could pledge to ease sanctions or cut U.S. military exercises in Europe

Just two guys with stuff on their minds

In the quiet aloneness, Putin will produce evidence of at least 100 US Governmnet cyber attacks on Russian systems.

Then he’ll offer, you drop your indictments and I’ll not ever make mine

After that the two of them will make offers that the other dare not refuse. That which is achievable will be considered and agreed. The sourness of that which is known to be not achievable will not be mentioned.

That was a classic chuckle by President Putin when he was asked if Russia has any compromising info about President Trump. Our media is so retarded.

I think that Putin dropped a dime on Obama and Hillary with evidence of Dossier and collusion that will most likely get HRC in an orange jumpsuit. I think Pompeo and Bolton where there and they made a deal. What Neil Cavuto and the rest of the talking heads see was a dog and pony show.

What a sophomoric question it is. The press has turned into tabloid journalism.

Good point. Hey, what ever happened to our own spy who sat in on the meeting where the Uranium One deal was made and Bill Clinton was paid for it?

“Thy spy on us, we spy on them... How is that related to Trump in any way?”

Considering that Zero was president when the indicted spies were doing their spying — the only relation to President Trump is in the pea-brains of leftists.

Yes, I heard that Trump just gave Alaska, Washington, Oregon and a bit of California to Putin. What Trump got in return was a Trump Hotel in Moscow. He is such a lousy negotiator.

Of course, some liberal would believe that.
