Walter Kirn characterized Donald Trump as intimidating during his summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. He indicated that Trump dominated the optics of the meeting, countering the media narrative that he was steamrolled. Kirn commented humorously on the nature of the meeting, wishing it had included more outdoor activities as appropriate for Alaska. He expressed a belief that engagement with Putin is necessary, as avoiding such discussions is not feasible, despite others' discomfort with the optics of the meeting.
I wish it had happened in winter because the only outfit I haven't seen Trump wear is a parka. I mean, McDonald's uniform, a garbage truck driver.
Unless we're going to get rid of Putin, unless we're gonna eliminate him, we could have dropped a bomb from that B-2. We're gonna have to talk to him at some point.
There are people who didn't want to see Putin walk across that red carpet and didn't like it when Trump waved to him.
I mean, it crushed some norms having him walk across a red carpet while Trump clapped. I mean, that generally Oh, come on. Putin doesn't get.
