    A second motorcade has been spotted heading to the presidential palace, suggesting Donald Trump is now en route.

    He was reportedly refusing to leave his hotel until after Vladimir Putin, who was more than half-an-hour late himself, arrived at the venue.

    The power-play between arguably the world's two most powerful men has not impressed everyone:

    Not that people will be able to follow this live, like the Strzok-Gohmert summit from last week, but folks can watch this URL and post here what they learn about today's annual performance review...

    Sounds like Putie is already showing his normal disdain for this by arriving late..

    Is a private meeting between these 2 the worst idea in US Summit history? Well, at least since Singapore, huh??

    It will be interesting not so much because it happened but because the world's leftist media outlets will sell it as the end of the world as we know it. That's always amusing.

    See, see! Right from the start, a secret handshake. The index fingers are tapping code. Trump’s passing Mueller’s email passwords to Putin, or are those missile codes! The horror, we're all screwed!

    Oh, **** I was just kidding but look what BBC is saying!

    Now, while Mr Putin is known to use lateness as a power play, Mr Trump is known to use his handshake to assert dominance in a situation.

    But a couple of Trump-watchers have noticed it wasn't quite as fierce as in previous meetings with other world leaders​

    Trump blamed America, our country, for the perception of bad relation with Russia.

    Barrack Trump goes into the meeting by apologizing for America for something that we did not do.

    You should also note that Putin hosted Netanyahu a couple of days ago, and has the Prime Ministers of Croatia, Hungary and France in yesterday.

    Their meetings were a lot more friendly and cordial. Hungary is under the sway of one of its periodic facist governments (they had the Arrow Cross in the 1930's). France, like most of Western Europe, knows it can't trust the Americans anymore, especially not Trump.

    I guess when you live in the isolated parochial world of the small but noisy Trump promoting media, the entire planet is made up of "leftist media outlets".

    Private meeting? Great place to start.

    Why? Because it will reveal the true objective and strategy of the left's media ministries.

    Frank one on one is always the best way to identify where the issues are, and what needs to be addressed going forward. Eliminates preconceived notions and wasting time on issues that may not be as critical as others.

    I guess when you are entwined with leftist media output, it's difficult to see the real picture.

    Trump started off with this little tweet:
    Calling the US foolish and stupid. This guy claims he loves America.

    Relax. He was just talking about the Obama years. Any sane person would agree with him.

    Wouldn't that be the cultists scrambling to claim it will be?

    I already knew this about Putin's passive aggressive tactic, and wondered how President Trump was going to respond. If he managed to not leave the hotel until Putin arrived at the venue, I'm very impressed.

    It already is. Only days after the indictment was made public, Trump dismissed it completely. The Russian Federation liked his tweet on Twitter.

    You realize claiming the President dismissed the indictment completely vaporizes your credibility?

    I would think you wouldn't want to do that.

    He called the Mueller investigation a Witch Hunt. If that isn't dismissive, I don't know what is.

    Would you prefer "fishing expedition"? How about "wild goose chase"?

    But back to your claim, when did the President dismiss the indictments?
