Did Trump just give Alaska back to Russia?

Trump on his meeting with Putin: “I would rather take a political risk in pursuit of peace than to risk peace in pursuit of politics!”

Greg: Trump is the real Hope and Change President. Everybody keeps hoping he will change! Greg reminds us that Trump has been tougher on Russia than Obama was. He is trying to create relationships, no different than North Korea.

Dana is critical, saying that Trump is undermining or ignoring the intelligence community. Kennedy points out that the intelligence community has tarnished their own brands at the top levels of staff. She also points out that the markets were not affected. Dana started doing a “Juan,” interrupting Kennedy as she made her points about the markets.

Geraldo and Dana point out that Russia does not have a strong economy (Texas is stronger!) and Russia’s GDP is one-tenth of ours.

Greg points out that Trump is seeking to reduce the adversarial turf around the globe while substantially increasing our military strength. Jesse also made a lot of good points, finishing with “the media acts like Trump gave Alaska back to Russia!”

Greg: It is allowing your adversary to save face in public while you do something completely different in private! Remember how Trump went after that pipeline last week? That was a pretty big deal!

Leftist protesters in England seem pretty much like those in the US. Where were they when hundreds of girls were sexually abused in Rotherham?

Tucker Carlson interviewed the President right after his press conference with Putin. He had also interviewed Trump in the first quarter of his presidency. Tucker was asked by Jesse to compare Trump then with Trump now. “He seemed less concerned with what his critics say. He seemed more certain of what he thinks. He seemed funnier, less aligned with conventional views in Washington.”

Trump has already raised over 88 million dollars toward his 2020 reelection campaign and he said the Democrats do not have a candidate! Dana reminds us that Democrats are very good at registering new voters.
