While Trump was correcting the weather map, Pence was meeting in Poland with Ukraine president.

As I recall, Trump changed his mind about going to Poland to meet the Ukraine president because he wanted to stay behind and monitor the hurricane that was threatening our East Coast.

What was the real reason he didn't go? He had talked with the Ukraine president by phone so there must have been some sort of deal discussed?

I don't recall any report at the time that he was going to Poland to meet the Ukraine president. I think we assumed he was going to meet the Polish leader?

Why Poland? Did Pence meet with another third Party that we have not heard about?

In hindsight, the trip to Poland looks somewhat different.

complaint setting forth that it's not Biden's son that is the controversy it's this: "Ukraine's president also got a 140 Million $ bonus for withdrawing troops from the Donbass and signing that territory over to Putin. He was elected with Russian help as well so no telling what he'll do as payback."

Is it that far fetched to think that Trump would help Putin acquire territory? Not to me.

A shell game.

And Trump fully exploited the media fascination with the sharpie. All a con.
