    Please tell me the apoplectic response by the media is related to another meeting, because, if not, Trump's secret dinner table meeting is way overblown.
    With that tone you're ripe to be branded as the next Trumpologist on this board. You better post something negative about Trump, and fast!

        Dude the Putin and Trump motorcades left the dinner just 4 minutes apart! I don't know how much more proof you need that the Russians helped Trump win the election.

          Looks like you need to get on Cardiac, too. He's turning Trumpologist as well.

              That is what I am telling y'all!... Drumpf's and Putie's secret meeting was at the dinner table. Drumpf had his wife sit next to Putie. I am guessing Drumpf was sending her messages on his secret Twitter account and she was typing the response back, acting as the translator.

                She didn't translate.

                The encounter occurred more than midway through the lengthy dinner, when Mr. Trump left his chair and approached Mr. Putin, who had been seated next to the first lady, Melania Trump. It was described to Mr. Bremmer by other guests as lasting roughly an hour and not initially disputed by a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

                Doesn't sound like that big of a deal. Just more bizarre behavior from our Dufus-In-Chief.

                  So you are saying this secret meeting took place in a room full of 80 people? Drumpf just simply walked over in the middle of all this and had a "secret" meeting? Did they all at least get down like Obama did?...





                  I like my explanation better.

                    The Resistance would win a lot more support if they painted Trump's behavior this way instead of their current strategies.

                      OMG. Now you are a Trumpologist. This was a big deal!! A huge deal!! The sanctity of the republic is at stake based on this private, errr...semi-public meeting.

                          "Some of President Trump’s lawyers are exploring ways to limit or undercut special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s Russia investigation, building a case against what they allege are his conflicts of interest and discussing the president’s authority to grant pardons, according to people familiar with the effort.

                          Trump has asked his advisers about his power to pardon aides, family members and even himself in connection with the probe, according to one of those people. A second person said Trump’s lawyers have been discussing the president’s pardoning powers among themselves."



                          Something that now seems to be related was his surprise interview with the NYTimes where he started bashing AG Sessions and said he wouldn't have hired him had he known he was going to recuse himself. The speculation is that he was just trying to get him to resign, which Sessions today said he won't do. All of this comes as Mueller and Congress start looking at Trump's finances.

                          Sounds like Trump is about to freak out and call the Constitutional Crisis hotline.

                            Yeah, he has been looking to undercut Mueller anyway he can. The liberal extremist publican, The National Review speculates Trump will do just that.

                            The Trump New York Times interview was, as Jim pointed out, a wholly gratuitous slap at Jeff Sessions (that aside, the interview is classic, madcap, highly entertaining Trump, e.g. “Napoleon finish…

                            House intel member hints that a lot more meetings than Don Jr's disclosed encounter happened:

                            Rep. Jackie Speier speculated that Donald Trump Jr. may not have disclosed further contact between himself and officials with ties to the Russian government.
