President Trump met in private with President Putin yesterday, the news conference after the meeting shocked most of the free world.  
I have questioned the presidents motives, as do many others, and have always come up short on an answer. Is it simply the result of NPD, I will provide a link to explain NPD, or is it something in the words that he has said, things like the comment on the leader of China who basically appointed himself for life, which the president thought was a good idea.  
Today we will likely see a change in political partasim, and maybe, just maybe, the country will get back to becoming a great country.  
 
Oops, forgot to add link, my bad.

I don’t doubt for a heartbeat that he has NPD and a few other psychiatric conditions. He has taken the serious, respectable, position of POTUS and turned it into a gong show. Wanting to align himself with all the world’s “bad boys” and being so disrespectful and antagonistic to longtime allies is INSANE. The Mexican children situation and his attacks on women’s rights are deplorable. I really hope his supporters get off the Koolaid and get him out of there. The world is in peril.

Trump as we know is a buffoon but what he did by meeting with Putin is nothing more than what every president had done, His job. Russia is a shell of what they used to be but they still have all those nukes. It is better to be civil with them than not. I have to question why the Democrats in the states were so against him meeting with Putin. What were they worried trump would find out? what did trump find out that made him seem to turn against his own intelligence department? I have a feeling we may never actually find out what was said between the two but it could make things interesting in the days to come. All in know is the way the Dems/MSM are making everything he does like it's the end of the world is just going to get him re-elected.

of course he's Narcissistic he always has been, that is no secret

The crazy Russiaphobia that the mainstream media and other politicians have is astounding. Trump should have denounced Russia more than what he did however, you watch the news and the language they use is incredibly inflammatory, “arch enemy” “mortal adversary”. They are the ones beating the war drums it seems. Plus, anything Trump does is wrong by default in the media’s eyes.

What line exactly did Trump cross? What is it that Trump is suppose to say? Should he have instead said Putin & Russia are the enemy and never improve relations between the two countries? With the United States and Russia being the two largest controllers of nuclear weapons, I think its time to sit down, talk things out, improve relations & thats exactly what they did.  
 
"I would rather take a political risk in pursuit of peace, than to risk peace in pursuit of politics." - Donald Trump  
 
John Podestas emails where "hacked" in March of 2016 before Trump even took office. Why was there no outrage at that time? Why did Hillary Clinton receive $400+ million in campaign contributions from Russian companies. Why did Obama sell 20% of all the US uranium to Russia when they are such bad people? Why did the DNC refuse to hand over Clinton's servers? Instead they turned the servers over to a private company of their choosing for review. Why was Clinton allowed to smash all of her electronic devices and delete 33K emails after a subpoena?  
 
After over a year of an investigation into Trump "Collusion" he and 99% of his administration is still free. I follow these maters quite closely, and still have yet to see a single piece of concrete evidence that there was collusion. Look at the democrats and you will find tons of collusion but no outrage.  
 
Here is Obama caught on hot mic saying "After my election I have more flexibility"

Honestly, why all of the outrage now? Why are all these ex Obama politicians so enraged over whats happening with Trump and Russia? Wouldn't the world want peace with Russia? North Korea seems to be cooperating and taking a much more peaceful path largely because of Trump.  
 
 
There are a lot of questions left unanswered from the previous administration. It didn't matter what Trump said yesterday, the media already had their narrative made up before he was done speaking.

Just my opinion, the line that he crossed was questioning what the United States stands for. By not accepting the facts presented by all the security agencies in his own country, also failing to address the situation of meddling in the election, also not brining up the atrocities being carried out by Russia, these things are testing the understanding of what United States stands for by many Americans.  
For those who like to put all the blame on the media, I watched fox again last night, and when staunch republicans used the word "wow" they were not using it in the context that it was a great speech.  
I am one of those who don't believe the Russians have anything on Trump, and if they did his base would accept it without question, even the religious followers would resort to the idea that he's just human and we all fail, and forgiving is what one is supposed to do.  
President Putin is only exploiting a fault in Presidents Trumps character.  
When President Trump said "what would Putin have to gain by lying" that could be looked at from the idea of "normalizing" relations, which would mean dropping sanctions against Russia. Congress passed a law to bring new sanctions against Russia for it's actions in the world, why did President Trump take forever to sign that legislation, was it for the simple reason that he needs a strong and powerful friend to make him complete.  
 
You've got to stand for something, or you'll fall for anything", and that is what the American people are realizing.

there is a lot more going on here with this man than politics, maybe open your mind to whats going on world wide. A man who cannot be bought as he is rich on his own means.  
research Q and what going on there. like i said there is more to this.  
he is taking down the shadow gov, ie the cabal. no president or pm has there own agenda. how could somebody like a ex drama teacher know whats good for Canada, he simply used what we want against us, ie weed legality and longer matt leave, ( the hooks)  
so many people voted that way because of there own personal agendas.  
it will be worse legal then illegal. just wait.  
instead of being consumed with garbage TIME stealing tv shows. FAKE media and playing on Facebook or other smart phone related TIME wasters. Get informed research real history and LOOK UP, THE SKY.  
When we the people are not brainwashed by these TIME wasting tactics, fluoride in the water and disinformation we will take it all back.  
But we must come together as a collective consciousness, and not be divided with such things as black lives matter gun controll abortion gay/straight and the other 6 genders.  
they are purposely trying to seperate us is the war on humanity. Georgia GIUDE stones Research that.  
i could go on and on and on.  
But its time to research for yourself and get educated.

As a first post! I hope it gets better as you go. LOL

Here is some food for thought...  
 
This whole Russia collusion narrative is based off the DNC hack in 2016 which Democrats and Obama administration intelligence officials say was the Russians. The files that where hacked where transferred at a speed of 49.1MB/s. Independent cyber security firms have tried to recreate the transfer using various download locations from around the world. The fastest they managed to download files where 12mbs, less then 1/4 the rate stated.  
 
What is particularly interesting in this case is the speed of 49.1MB/s. If you look at a USB 3.0 it has a Sequential write speed range of 10-50MB/s. Almost exactly the same speed the "hack" took place.  
 
So if I where to guess, the hack was never really a hack and the information was downloaded internally from somebody with a USB stick. Possibly Seth Rich?  
 
Again, what evidence of Russian interference with the US election has been presented so far? These are accusations which the previous administration demands we accept blindly. Where is the actual evidence? Somebody please show me...

Trump was always a disaster, and he never genuinely had the interests of the American people, or the ideals of democracy in general, in mind.  
 
Since taking office, he has alienated long-time allies of the United States while praising and trying to endear himself to the leaders of some of the world's most tyrannical and authoritarian regimes.  
 
Yesterday Donald Trump outright sided with Vladimir Putin (a man who has had his political rivals assassinated, the leader of a nation which has shot down passenger planes, annexed the territory of neighbouring nations, and poisoned people in other countries), instead of his own intelligence community. A community that is absolutely certain that Russia did indeed meddle in the 2016 election. For the president of the United States to actively undermine his own country is unforgivable.  
 
On the investigation:  
 
Mueller's investigation has so far gone on for about 14 months. There have, so far, been 35 indictments.  
 
In comparison, the investigations surrounding the Watergate scandal went on for a little over four years, there were 69 indictments (of which 48 ended in guilty pleas). And investigations into Iran-Contra lasted even longer, some six and a half years resulting in 12 indictments.  
 
The idea that Mueller should have to hurry up is absurd. There's obviously something to it, and the more time he has to do a good job making sure of things, the better it will be for the United States.

Lastly, just a few short hours ago there was a press conference in which Trump said that yes, Russia did meddle in the election.  
 
So why couldn't he say that when Putin was right there?  
 
For the same reason that he didn't rag on Prime Minister Trudeau at the G7 until he was safely back on Air Force One.  
 
Trump is a coward.

I’m more concerned with our leader!! He sure is nothing to be proud of either! In fact I’d take trump over the selfie queen we have.

You might want to re-read the post. The OP posted about Trump crossing the line with Putin that has shocked and dismayed most of the free world.  
 
Have at it with Trump and move to the States if you like the guy. Most find him extremely racist, narcisstic, misogynistic, vulgar, a fact based liar and offensive on every level. Many Americans would switch places with you, smart guy.

Wow today Trump is doing a total flip flop. Says he meant to say “wouldn’t “ not would. His handlers are doing damage control. Just as in the past he often contradicts himself from one day to the next.

1) NATO setup to stop Russian aggression.  
 
2) Trump demands all NATO allies to increase defence spending and meet agreement of 2% GDP  
 
3)Increase defense spending from 2% to 4% which most member resist.  
 
4) Democrats scream Trump is a puppet of Russia and Putin.  
 
Make sense?

No, that didn’t make sense.  
 
It doesn’t make sense to me that anyone would still publicly support this narcissistic bigot, especially anyone not living in the states.

there are a couple of things that people have to remember about that election.  
 
none of the backroom boys, or the money men from either party wanted trump to win. the fact that he did, proves that democracy works. the people wanted a change and they got it.  
 
american media is run by large corporations, therefore the news is based on the political beliefs of the owners.  
 
i would take anything coming out of the media with a huge grain of salt.  
 
the american people did not want business as usual in washington. Trump said he would shake things up, and he has

comeonsummer said "No, that didn’t make sense.     It doesn’t make sense to me that anyone would still publicly support this narcissistic bigot, especially anyone not living in the states. "

Doesnt make sense because you probably dont understand.  
 
The same people who tell you Trump is a a Russian asset are the same people who tell you that Iraq had weaponds of mass destruction.  
 
What's really going to blow your mind is when Trump wins the midterms in a landslide.

Thank you for quoting me. Actually, I have a hard time understanding poor grammar. I have a fairly good grasp on politics and world events.

He just keeps pushing the line. There's no point arguing because the Trump apologists will just refuse to see it and back him no matter what he does. Hell, even if there is a pee tape I fully expect the "family values" crowd to not only fully embrace it, but a bunch of them will make their own pee videos "in support". It's a cult at this point, not sure anything will change their mind.  
 
I'll just wait to see what Robert Mueller finally reports. I'm pretty sure there's a number of people that will be facing VERY long jail terms.

Democrats are warmongers. They want war with Russia.

There is a dangerous trend that seems to follow Donald Trump, a dangerous trend that I witness here.  
 
Here is a video, produced by the US Army in 1945, right after the end of the second World War. Although it dated, and predates many of the social issues and upheavals that would later affect the United States in the years to come, it contains a message, a lesson, as true as it was seventy years ago, as it is today:  
 
 
 
Beware these claims of ''fake news'', and these protestations against the truth.  
 
Trump crossed this line even before he was elected, to serve as a figurehead and inspire such polarization not only in his own nation, but in all nations beholden to the democratic ideal.  
 
Donald J. Trump does not care about ideals like freedom, justice, or liberty. He just wants people to like him, and will say anything to get people to like him. He does not have anyone''s interests other than his own at heart. If he himself is not actively exploiting this, then there are others who certainly are, working to foment division in his stead.  
 
(pretty sure the posting weirdness had to do with the youtube link? Not sure!)

comeonsummer said "Thank you for quoting me. Actually, I have a hard time understanding poor grammar. I have a fairly good grasp on politics and world events. "

Your letting your personal opinions get in the way of the facts. Micheal is right. Go do some research. And no I’m not a fan of trump really. But he’s looking out for America and there citizens. Not playing puppet for the corporations that run the USA.

I'm no Trump supporter but this article was interesting to hear the other side.

What I find the most troubling is the rhetoric from the left. It's an election and the other side won. There is going to be people that dont agree with the president, and people that do. This happens every single election. But what Democrats are calling for in the United States is dangerous. They are calling for the impeachment and jailing of a man because they dont agree with the path hes taking the country.  
 
It is no different then here. I think our leader is a complete donkey. But, the people voted for him and I can only hope that the out come is differently next election.  
 
There is a process of winning an election which Donald Trump mastered. The Democrats threw up a rigged election with a triggered candidate and lost. The outrage should be all Democrats who didnt get their candidate and where forced to vote for another.  
 
What's the next step after all the shouting? Take up arms against the government? Seems like that's the path if Democrats keep things up. We will see in November who is more energized when it comes to midterms. My prediction is a Trump landslide.

a "no win" situation! When Trump was sparring with N Korea, he was called out on trying to create a nuclear war & should use diplomacy. Now, with Putin, he's getting blasted because he didn't have a full-blown all out argument with him (Putin) at the press conference. We'll never know what was said in their meeting. There were only the two of them & translators. & crossed what line ??? (Maybe he's secretly a Democrat & keeps moving the line, hmm?).
