Donald Trump is trying to pull a bait and switch on his 2nd meeting with Putin

CNN  

CNN — That President Donald Trump huddled with Russian President Vladimir Putin for almost an hour at a G20 dinner in Germany earlier this month is news. What’s as telling as Trump’s willingness to chat with Putin with no US translator or any other US official around, however, is the way in which the president responded to the news of the meeting. And here’s what he said – in two separate tweets sent Tuesday night: Fake News story of secret dinner with Putin is "sick." “The Fake News is becoming more and more dishonest!” The media is “sick!” That will, of course, work for some segment of people who take Trump’s words for, well, everything, or only get their news from the president’s most ardent media defenders.
