Was the expectation that they would start exchanging blows on-sight 🤣🤣
Trump was shifting bricks 😂.
Even his eyebrow is trying to escape the country
Trump is trying to convince Putin in other to end the war. The alternative will be to use nuclear weapons at both ends. This is a lesser evil way. Trump does not love Putin but he must find a way to stop the bombings. Is Ukraine still being bombed. There is a way to go around a formidable enemy so the world does not come to an end
Stop listening to America
Get over with it france you matter no more.
Ukraine and Russia should go to marriage counsel at the UN in Vienna, Austria, but they cannot since no one declared war in Ukraine or in Russia
This period will be a big black spot in the history of USA.
Trump 🤡 🤡
Team America was spot on with the face redo.
what's to discuss? putler wants all of ukraine, period. if putler could annex Alaska right now and get away with it he would.
“Necessary evil”?
The countries with the nukes are trying to negotiate peace.
Just hush.
Who is this werewolf !?!
Trump treating Put-in with respect vs Zelenskyy 😒
stupid is as stupid does
I mean, it's all nonsense. Nothing's going to happen. The war is going to continue until one side is defeated on the battlefield. That's it.
Macron would have got this done already and saved thousands of lives..
The audacity of the European left, thinking they could tell trump what to do and how to manage meetings on his soil
Making America great again!!! Ukraine thinks it dictates to the world with emperor Zelenskyy. Think again!!! To h@ll with you!
The Trump–Putin meeting wasn’t diplomacy. It was kitsch theater for the cameras. Don’t take part in the charade of overanalyzing it.
This guy looks too much like Peter Zahn.
Where’s the promised sanctions on Russia?
Puttin needs to tell Trump 'I want your killing of people in Palestine stopped immediately!!!!!!!!!
The only thing Trump can negotiate with Putin is the return of Alaska… and that's what they did in the car… technology has replaced translators/dangerous witnesses…
both donald and vladimir are brilliant liars. They said this meeting was to discuss Ukraine war.
If we know they are both liars – why does everyone think this meeting was about the Ukraine War????????
It’s the copy of he met with Kim few years back.
