President Trump is once again playing defense over accusations that he secretly met with Russian president Vladimir Putin during the G20 meeting. The story was first reported by Reuters.

Yesterday, leftist journalists were in a fury over the top-secret, undisclosed meeting. And, once again, Trump was charged with colluding with Putin to destroy America, or something.
The president came to his own defense last night on Twitter:
Fake News story of secret dinner with Putin is "sick." All G 20 leaders, and spouses, were invited by the Chancellor of Germany. Press knew!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 19, 2017
The Fake News is becoming more and more dishonest! Even a dinner arranged for top 20 leaders in Germany is made to look sinister!

Well, it turns out the meeting wasn’t so secret, or private. A newly released photo shows just how nefarious between the leaders of two super powers really was. Behold, the horror!

Those rotten devils! They were clearly scheming in a smoke-filled room about joining forces to crush the forces of righteousness and democracy across the globe.
Seriously though, it appears the meeting was entirely innocent, as confirmed by the White House:
Trump & Putin ended up talking a second time at dinner bc Melania's assigned seat was next to Putin, WH says https://t.co/7gHObRqntE

Remember, even at the height of the Cold War, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan all spoke with Russian leaders. And back then, we were threatened with nuclear winter!
Even if Trump talked with Putin, it isn’t a huge deal. World leaders back channel conversations all the time. The hysterics by the media over anything Trump and Putin related have got to stop. It’s becoming pathetic.
Share this story if you’re sick of hearing about Trump and Putin!
