Trump on what he tells Putin: 'It's none of your business'

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/26/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-g-20-1384037

<snip>

President Donald Trump said Wednesday his lips are sealed about what he and Russian President Vladimir Putin say to each other behind closed doors.

Ahead of his expected meeting with Putin on the sidelines of this weekend’s G-20 Summit in Osaka, Japan, the president told reporters that while he expected to have a positive conversation with Putin, he would not divulge whether he will press the adversarial leader about election interference.

“I will have a very good conversation with him,” Trump said, adding, “What I say to him is none of your business.”

The meeting between the two leaders will come as the 2020 election heats up, with Democratic hopefuls taking the stage for their first debates on Wednesday and Thursday. Trump has done little to assuage fears that he’s not actively working to safeguard next year’s election from interference, including saying in a recent interview that he would likely accept dirt on an opponent from an foreign adversary, and that he wouldn’t necessarily alert the FBI about it.

representative government.

Being the (ignorant) "outsider" is largely why he won the GOP primary and why 63 million Americans voted for him.

You are supposed to be leading and representing this country, and this country is us.

You're not a king, you're not a ruler, you work for us. Yours is coming soon, dickhead. You will be voted out. You will have no shield from the law, and the law is coming for you.

Take your soft flabby body and your orange jowls and your sulfur breath out to 5th Avenue, stand there for a minute, and then drop dead motherfucker.
