“We’ll see what happens, if it’s bad, if it’s something I don’t see a future in, I’m gone, I’ll leave,” Trump added. “I’ll go back to the United States.”

“It’s going to be a big thing,” Trump said at a White House Press conference on Monday. “We’re going to Russia, it’s going to be a big deal.”

In a third instance, later in the same press conference, Trump said “You know, I’m going to see Putin. I’m going to Russia on Friday.”

This is a fucking humiliation to the United States of America. Even before the meeting giving POO-tihn the optics of hanging around with his old pal Donold.

At the press briefing earlier this week it was all "President Trump seemed to mistakenly say he was going to Russia, any comment on that?"

"The President is going to Alaska but we'll see what plans are in the future, next question."

The point of the question swept aside.
