1. of course, it's putin's agenda.

[Bleacher Creature]

19. I call BINGO! NT

[DBoon]

30. beat me to it

nt

[leftstreet]

2. Uh-oh. Does Putin golf?

What ever will they do?

[rurallib]

3. Once he kisses Vlad's gorgeous rear end, that is.

Maybe a couple stories about how firing Comey stopped the inquiry into his connection to Russia.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. But Putin does

and he'll play Trump like a Stradivarius.

[Freethinker65]

9. My thoughts exactly

[NewJeffCT]

15. Yep

I expect Putin to read him the riot act about getting sanctions repealed - or else the pee pee tape gets released.

[Achilleaze]

5. the Kremlin's Handlers for republicans will take care of this

...and the chickenhawk republicans, as usual, will follow the lead of their Draft-Dodger-in-Chief and remain submissive, refusing to defend America against the "acts of war" that even freaking Dick Cheney says the russians are perpetrating.

6. trump always has an agenda . . . however, probably not shared

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Trump's only agenda is self-aggrandizement.

Other than that he has no policy, no strategy, no agenda. He doesn't think ahead. He's completely reactive. I'm sure he's going to that meeting with Putin figuring he'd wow him with his awesome ability as a think-on-his-feet dealmaker and Putin will love him and be his friend and not call his loans. Putin, on the other hand, will have prepared and will have a definite agenda. He'll walk away leaving Trump sitting in his underwear, figuratively speaking, wondering how he just got taken.

[DrDan]

22. he did not make billions by not having an agenda

He has an agenda when he gives unpaid positions to Ivanka and Jared, when he puts Melania on stage, when he calls for violence at campaign stops, when he wears that red baseball cap, when he acts to degrade PBO, when he degrades women, when he degrades the disabled, when he degrades his opposition.

No . . . he definitely has an agenda - one where he profits . . . . he is always thinking about personal profit.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. Yes, that's my point. He has no big picture, long-range strategy other than

whatever benefits him. He doesn't have a foreign policy or a domestic policy. All he wants out of life is aggrandizement, mainly expressed in money and in people sucking up to him. That's why he will have no agenda for the meeting with Putin other than to do what Putin wants so as not to interfere with whatever financial shenanigans Trump's got going in Russia.

[DrDan]

27. exactly - and that is an agenda - he has financial interests and he will do whatever protects and

enhances those interests.

His fragile self-image, his desire for wealth, his need for acceptance and approval, his need to win at all costs - this is what his agenda is all about. Not the interests of the U.S.

34. +1000 nt

[spanone]

7. he'll walk in and high-five vlad....it will all be about don

you can just wing that international bullshit, can't you don?

[NightWatcher]

8. Yea, fuckin wing it when you meet w the head of the KGB

Putin will have his pea brain picked clean before he finishes his "power handshake".

[Iliyah]

11. I call bullshit on this

[gratuitous]

12. Of course he doesn't

The boss dictates the meeting agenda, not the underling.

[MineralMan]

13. Trump has no real agenda for anything, really.

He's a hip-shooter. Whatever enters his mind at the moment is his only agenda.

I believe he has a disorder that makes it difficult to remember things for very long. Due to that, he constantly contradicts his earlier statements and goes with his current thinking, which is not really based on any information. That's because he can't remember any information for anything longer than a few minutes.

Trump is winging it, but his wing is badly broken. It's a defective wing.

[LSFL]

31. No disorder

Lies are hard to keep straight when you tell so many.

[nikibatts]

14. Don't believe it. They always set the bar so low Trump can't help but "win."

[Buns_of_Fire]

16. It wouldn't matter one way or the other. I'm afraid Vlad's gonna

eat Donnie's lunch (including his beautiful chocolate cake with two scoops of ice cream).

Then he'll return to brag about the AMAZING DEAL he made with Russia -- THE BEST DEAL -- and he only had to give Vlad Alaska and the part of Arizona south of Tucson in return.

[dawnie51]

17. Of course not....

this whole debacle is a seat of the pants, whim of the moment operation. The agenda is Putins. Dump is going to find out what his marching orders are.

[GeorgeGist]

18. Trump won't be prepared.

[yellowcanine]

20. NOT TRUE! Trump is prepared with a MANLY hand shake for Putin!

Putin will not be prepared for it.

[MedusaX]

21. *45's agenda IS vlad's agenda..the subordinate{*45} may have questions he needs answered...but that

is not the same as a meeting between two equals with each party having a unique objective.

This is purely a team meeting between Leader {vlad} and member {*45}.

[tammywammy]

24. The agenda is then whatever Putin wants.

Show a little flattery to Trump and get sanctions lifted.

[LaydeeBug]

25. Of COURSE not...he's there to get his marching orders FROM Putin. nt

[underpants]

26. Here's his agenda

[superpatriotman]

28. Thats great. He's best when impromptu.

Said noone ever.

[madamesilverspurs]

29. Not surprising.

He doesn't even have a plan for getting off a plane and into his limo...

[Sneederbunk]

32. Never has a Russian leader met a US president who was in such a weakened position.

[onecaliberal]

33. After trump blows him, putin ill instruct dump to carry out his agenda.

[helpisontheway]

35. Probably hugs and a few kisses (ala Saturday Night Live) a

Oh and then he will have just enough time to share some classified information.

[iluvtennis]

36. Report is that Dumpty won't address hacking of our election with Putin. Who da thunk that (sarcasm)
