While the White House continues to deal with the fall out from Trump’s disastrous meeting with Putin, compounded by his statements afterward, then his rebuttals and contradictory statements, Trump surprised his own staff by announcing that he planned to invite the Russian dictator to Washington.
As usual, Trump’s staff was caught off-guard. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats was visibly shocked during the press conference.
Meanwhile, the President continues to insist in tweets that his summit with Putin was a ‘great success,’ angrily blaming the media as the ‘real enemy of the people.’
‘I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed, including stopping terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear,’ he said in morning tweets, ‘proliferation, cyber attacks, trade, Ukraine, Middle East peace, North Korea and more.’
