It's not the dumbest idea I've ever heard, but it's pretty close. He gave a really good speech in Poland, President Trump did, and he had, what I think is a disastrous Meeting with President Putin. Two hours and fifteen minutes of meetings, Tillerson and Trump are ready to forgive and forget when it comes to cyberattacks on the American election of 2016. Nobody's saying, Mr. President, the Russians changed the outcome. You won, fair and square, but they did try to attack our election system. They were successful in many ways, And the more you do this the more people are suspicious about you and Russia . >> The president, absolutely, did not believe the denial of President Putin. What the president did is he immediately came into the meeting, talked about Russian meddling in the U. S. election, went after that issue at least two separate times . >> From a cyber standpoint, we need to get together with Russia. We need to tell them, You know what we think should happen, shouldn't happen and if we talk to them about it, hopefully we can cut this out and get them to stop. It doesn't mean we- Do you think that they can be trusted? Ever take our eyes off the ball. It doesn't mean we ever take our eyes off the ball. It doesn't mean we ever trust Russia. We can't trust Russia, and we won't ever trust Russia, but you keep those that you don't trust closer so that you can always keep an eye on them, and keep them in check, and I think that's what we're trying to do with Russia right now. What he did was bring up right away the election meddling, and he did that for a reason. One, he wanted him to basically look him in the eye Let him know that yes, we know you meddled in our elections. Yes we know you did it and cut it out. And I think President Putin did exactly what we thought he would do, which is deny it. So this is Russia trying to save face, and they can't. They can't I think what we should be focused on is that the president handled it brilliantly. Look at what was discussed and what was accomplished. He fully addressed the election situation, he focused on the ceasefire in Syria, which is a major accomplishment. He talked about Ukraine, and he talked about North Korea. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"In Their Words: Republicans on Trump's Meeting with Putin","description":"Republican leaders react to President Trump's meeting with President Putin at the G20 Summit.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/uBo88CZy/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-07-10T15:40:25.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/uBo88CZy.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/uBo88CZy/","duration":"PT2M9S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/uBo88CZy/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
