Trump: "I have been Russia's worst nightmare. If Hillary got in I think Putin is probably going 'man I wish Hillary won,' because you see what I do. BUT: with that being said, Russia should be in this meeting. Why are we having a meeting without Russia being in the meeting?"
Trump gave a very impassioned, extended plea for Russia: "It may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run. And in the G7, which used to be the G8, they threw Russia out. They should let Russia come back in. Because we should have Russia at the negotiating table."
Russia was kicked out of the G8 over its annexation of Ukraine's Crimea.
