Someone should add either a hand behind him or obvious strings. I'm actually surprised it hasn't been done.

Because they literally don't care if it looks suspicious.
White House Official on Putin ‘meeting': "The insinuation that the WH has tried to "hide" a second meeting is false, malicious and absurd."

"We didn't try hide it. We just didn't nor want to disclose it"
Sounds pretty fair enough to me.
Not all the other shit, but this one thing.

It's a twitter bot using Donald's tweets.

It would be "hilarious", if wasn't so "sad".
How did he get his bachelor's degree without knowing how to use "quotes"? I feel like someone should check his thesis or something.
So nobody said it was a secret dinner. Just a unknown conversation. That lasted about an hour.

"President" Trump is a billionaire with the IQ of radish.
Highly doubt that he had to actually write a thesis for a bachelor's. Also, if he did...he most likely paid someone to write it for him.
Need quotes in billionaire too

I love that even these are twitter bite sized.

Exactly. He can't formulate responses outside of Twitter format. It's pathetic.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
Whew. Oh thank god. I thought the president was a moron or something.

I should have known. An actual verbal response would have been much more incoherent.

To be fair, that IS how he talks, and he IS a moron.

It's just a recurring joke where people put his tweets as official statements from the President (because I guess they technically are?).
A lot of his press releases are pretty stupid too, though

Spicey said the Pres' tweets should be considered official communication

Only if there is recorded audio of it. He's basically said fuck you to all of our allies already, but won't say one bad word about Putin or Russia.

Every Trump tweet has some weird grammatical anomaly in them. It's like his trademark or something.

Wrap this meme up, people are actually falling for it. Thinking official statements of the President are official statements of the President

Even if there was nothing nefarious about their exchange, it's terrible optics. For as much heat the Trump team has been under lately regarding its Russian ties... you've gotta be either unbelievably naive, ridiculously corrupt or unfathomably stupid to engage in this kind of furtive behavior. And judging by his response to the media's reporting on the story... jesus f'n christ, dude. Like, can he seriously not comprehend how maybe their whole 1hr little chit-chat might be met with a degree of suspicion?? I honestly don't know; maybe Trump honestly believes his days are numbered and he's just fuckin' w/ us (i.e. America) until then...
Weasel words to say what he wants, but can backtrack at will.
I legit laughed out loud at this, thanks.
What's there to weasel around with that word choice?

wait he had this meeting without his own translator only relied on Putin's translator?
smh
does this guy want to look guilty?

The meeting is fake, the meeting is real

is this a real press release?
They are real tweets that have been put into that press release format by a bot.
No, its Trump responding in a timely fashion on Twitter because he heard about this shit on CNN/MSNBC.
