Vladimir Putin seems pretty convinced that Trump bought his denials about interference in the 2016 election.

God you have soft hands.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says he thinks U.S. President Donald Trump believed his in-person denials of Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential vote. 

Putin spoke Saturday after the Group of 20 summit where he and Trump had their first face to face meeting. 

He said Trump asked him numerous questions about Russia’s alleged interference in the U.S. election during a lengthy discussion on the issue. 

Putin says he thinks his answers satisfied Trump, but added that Trump’s opinion would be better sought from the U.S. president himself. 

He says Moscow and Washington would be able to improve their ties if the two countries keep relating the way he and Trump did.

Sounds like Labrov's version of events was more accurate than Secretary of State Tillerson's.

Of course we would definitely know what was said if they had not kept the two hour meeting so hush hush. Now it is just a case of liar said vs other liar said.

Well at least the new leader of the free world knows how to respond to Putin's bullshit.

Well done, almost as appropriate as our last true leader's steely eyed glare.

Yes my friends, I am old enough to remember when America stood up to the Russians and did not allow them to set our agenda, choose our leaders, or poach our hard earned position as a dominant world power.
