"SNIP.........

The US and Russia are currently in talks to arrange a summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Experts say the US has nothing to gain and everything to lose from a meeting between Trump and Putin given current US-Russia relations and Trump's personal affinity for Putin.

"But that seems to be the pattern of Trump's dealmaking," said one former State Department official. "We move the US embassy to Jerusalem and get nothing in exchange. We give the North Koreans a summit and get nothing in exchange. We pull out of the Iran nuclear deal and get nothing in exchange. This is par for the course."

Is he going to tell them all of our secrets? I think that N Korea and Russia have more secretly obtained info about the moron than the moron is aware of and even if he did he wouldn't care. In fact, he will give them the key to the executive washroom as a W House souvenirs.

Iran leaders keep saying "death to America" and Russia is always causing mischief in our elections. I hope tRump does not send plane load of cash to Moscow.
