U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin agrees with him that letting voters send in ballots by mail puts honest elections at risk.

“Vladimir Putin, smart guy, said you can’t have an honest election with mail-in voting,” Trump told Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” after a nearly three-hour meeting between the leaders in Alaska. “He said there’s not a country in the world that uses it now.”

      My question is why the fuck would Trump and Putin be talking about elections during a negotiation for peace for a country being attacked who isn’t even present.

        Because Trump can’t stay on one subject for more than about 30 seconds. He was probably rambling while Putin nodded along.

        Why would Putin get a red carpet treatment from the US in the first place? Putin and Trump announced to the world they are now allies.
