1. I see russians love their European cars don’t they?

2. When in Russia

3. He does stuff like that all the time.

   It was well known that Germany’s previous chancellor was afraid of dogs, so Putin always made sure to have a dog at present when he had meetings with her.

4. Says everything you need know about Putin and about Trump’s place in Putin’s world.

5. I bet they kept offering him tea as well.

6. Felt like? It was.

7. Did he drink the tea?

8. That is why Trump was not going 😂 Would got own medicine

9. will he say “thank you” though?

10. Shows you how weak Trump and his team is that he didn’t just leave after an hour 

11. But Trump is good buddies with Putinka. Putin did the same tactic with condoleeza rice was when she was Secretary of State under Bush.

12. Children are running the world. Children.

    edit: not literal children but it feels like it. What adult behaves like this?

13. This is amateur work. Putins been doing this for decades. I’d just show up late regardless.

14. Watch Erdogan do it to Putin in Turkey.

    Never tire of seeing it

15. Standard stuff for the Russians. Long waits, long walks down the intimidating corridor, then sit opposite your other number at a huge table. Goes back to Stalin.

16. Zelenskyy had to fly to the US. Zelenskyy was bullied out. The US envoy had to fly to Russia. They were bullied into waiting. It shows the hierarchy.

17. What a c*cksucker but nothing new for Putins play. He did that with other leaders as well. Can’t believe the fixer stayed for eight hours, should have a limit of at least 30min to 1 hour.

18. Yeah. Putin is known to do that. He also made Merkel wait for six hours and is accustomed to western leaders going along with it.

19. Does trump think he’s playing Putin?! What a joke.

20. Trump wanted power so bad, unfortunately now has it, but doesn’t even know how to wield it beyond hammer strokes

    Trump should be talking down to Russia, like listen you rogue dudes, end this shit or we’ll turn the screws

    But instead, he’s a child that fawns over the strongmen/bullies he emulates, and wants their approval and favor.

    And he’s willing to screw over both his country and another for his personal bully fetish.

    There can’t have been a more avoidable and moronic move than to elect this POS

21. Now the world knows Putin considers Trump to be his little bitcj

22. That kind of boredom is a known form of psychological torture.

    It’s meant to weaken and bring out vulnerabilities before negotiations begin.  It’s leaves a person alone with their thoughts when they are already anxious.  

    The United States should have turned around and went home.  It would be the only way to maintain power.  The fact that they did not, or could not, or would not is very telling of their position in this relationship. 

23. basically Trump’s openly acknowledging that Putin has more power in this mess, a really stupid way to hand over your cards!

    Putin won’t play your game your way, as always.

24. But did he say Thank You?

25. Remember when *Kellogg* visited Kyiv and Zelensky was a little bit late? Trump wrote a rant on Truth social… Now Trump’s guy had to wait 8 hours and instead Trump praised Putin??? Gosh, I hate Trump so much!

26. Good thing they alienated their allies and are destroying their own economy and country for these, their new besties.

27. What world are we living in? After 25 minutes I would be saying, see me now or Ukraine get all the weapons they need. He’s waited 8 hours??

28. I gotta know what Russia has on Trump, I just gotta.

29. Putin is known for this. It’s the fixer’s fault for not having Balatro on their phone.

30. Putin has zero respect for Trump yet Trump just simps away. Vlad must have some good dirt.
