“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.
