The meeting between President Putin and myself was a great success, except in the Fake News Media!

@ The News Blender for how Russia is framing the meeting.
The Democrats want to abolish ICE, which will mean more crime in our country. I want to give ICE a big cheer! Vote Republican in November.

“Prosperity is returning. Donald Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do as a candidate, now as the most effective president, the most successful president, in modern American history.” Thank you to the great Lou Dobbs!

So many people at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki. Putin and I discussed many important subjects at our earlier meeting. We got along well which truly bothered many haters who wanted to see a boxing match. Big results will come!

On Tuesday President Trump attempted to clarify his remarks from the joint press conference between he and Putin, saying that he misspoke when he said the word “would,” versus the word “wouldn’t,” when he said on Monday, “My people came to me — Dan Coats came to me and some others — they said they think it’s Russia. I have President Putin; he just said it’s not Russia. I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be, but I really do want to see the server.”
The details of the joint agreement have yet to be made public.
While the NATO meeting in Brussels was an acknowledged triumph, with billions of dollars more being put up by member countries at a faster pace, the meeting with Russia may prove to be, in the long run, an even greater success. Many positive things will come out of that meeting..

President Trump was interviewed by Fox News show host Tucker Carlson after his summit with Putin, during the interview President Trump expressed concern over Article 5 the article that allows a member country to call up military action from another member country. “If one is attacked we are all attacked,” as the saying goes.
For those unaware, Article Five of the NATO treaty — an “armed attack” on one member “shall be considered an attack against them all” — has been invoked exactly once: by the other nations after the US was attacked on 9/11.https://t.co/IBhFBH3ryz https://t.co/1ELSdqFeIH

….Russia has agreed to help with North Korea, where relationships with us are very good and the process is moving along. There is no rush, the sanctions remain! Big benefits and exciting future for North Korea at end of process!

At the same press briefing on Tuesday to clarify his remarks regarding Russia, President Trump said, via CNN, regarding North Korea, “Discussions are ongoing and they’re going very, very well. We have no rush for speed … We have no time limit. We have no speed limit. We have — we’re just going through the process. But the relationships are very good. President Putin is going to be involved in the sense that he is with us.”
The United States and North Korea could meet again as early as July 27th, in order to return remains, “The two sides could meet again July 27, when the US is expecting North Korea to return possible remains of US service members who died in the Korean War.” (CNN)
Congratulations to Martha Roby of The Great State of Alabama on her big GOP Primary win for Congress. My endorsement came appropriately late, but when it came the “flood gates” opened and you had the kind of landslide victory that you deserve. Enjoy!

*Flashback*
Congresswoman Martha Roby of Alabama has been a consistent and reliable vote for our Make America Great Again Agenda. She is in a Republican Primary run-off against a recent Nancy Pelosi voting Democrat. I fully endorse Martha for Alabama 2nd Congressional District!

Some people HATE the fact that I got along well with President Putin of Russia. They would rather go to war than see this. It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome!
