“He has his invitation already. I told him about it”—Putin tells BRICS summit that he invited Trump to Moscow (during private meeting in Helsinki? a call??). But says pre-conditions are necessary. Aaand he again praised Trump. cnn.com/2018/07/27/pol… #CollusionDay #TrumpRussia
Good story on Putin’s invitation to Trump to Moscow for second meeting. Reporter notes Putin’s strategic language aimed to manipulate Trump, saying he “buttered up his American counterpart with flattery.” Keep up the good work, @abedelman and @NBCNews nbcnews.com/politics/white…
Coincidence: Putin praised Trump for keeping his promises to voters one hour before Trump’s scheduled speech touting US economy & keeping his promises. Remember Putin arrived late to Helsinki to coincide w/ Russian TV prime time. snappytv.com/tc/8578413/603… #CollusionDay #TrumpRussia
