Wheeling Dealing and Hustling

Submitted by ub on

Why are US President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin meeting in Helsinki, Finland privately with no plans, or agenda, no real purpose, nor great expectations? The short simple answer is they're seeking attention. The long on may be more sinister.

While their right and left-wing policies may ultimately sicken a collective behavior and could corrupt our world, and as these two competitors, or foes go toe to toe, will they bend principles or sacrifice our national integrity to get as much as they can with every imaginable sort of cheating and dishonesty?

Will their modus operandi resort to lying with fraud reaching for power and riches, where the end justifies the means? #Trump-#Putin joint news conference scheduled for 9:50A EDT

POTUS assured Americans he was the ultimate deal-maker, but so far he has closed no deals, managed to change how our allies feel and any agreements have either unraveled or repealed.
