NORMALLY, the two presidents sit down, chuckle affably, and talk about things that they have discussed that affect both countries: trade-related things, climate-related things... geopolitical this-and-that. Some pictures are taken. Handshakes all around. Everyone goes home.

But not this time. The president of Finland had to sit there, squirming uncomfortably, listening to a crazy man in the next chair bellow wacky bullshit that had nothing to do with their meeting.

He, of all people knows what Putin's game is and that Trump is clearly under Putin's influence. Given Finland's geographic location to Russia, he doesn't want the people of Finland to think he's buds with Trump.

It's all just mumbo jumbo. Conversations made of nonsense, void of content, word salad. Too many topic switches. Plus, his tone is just offensive and insulting to sensible folks. Definitely unpresidential.
