“Catastrophic”: George Will predicts dire consequences for Trump-Putin summit
Look to how Trump only propped up North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un, conservative columnist George Will argues

Conservative columnist George F. Will, who has been a pillar of the American right for decades, has just predicted that President Donald Trump's upcoming meeting with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will be a disaster — and he cited Trump's failure during his summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un as proof.

"As the president prepares, if this time he does prepare, for his second summit, note all that went wrong at the first," Will wrote at the start of his editorial. "If he does as badly in his July 16 meeting with Vladimir Putin in Finland as he did with Kim Jong Un in Singapore, the consequences could be catastrophic."

Will went on to describe how Trump had not only showered Kim with glowing praise despite the nation's abysmal human rights record, but also how Kim had managed to extract major concessions from Trump — including, of course, legitimizing the Kim regime by sheer virtue of holding the summit — and in the process exposed Trump as a weak negotiator.

2. Ironically, I don't expect any further damage to be done by the Trump-Putin summit.

In much the same way I wouldn't have worried too much that inexperienced mechanics at Lakehurst would muck up the machinery of the Hindenburg.

3. Trump's negotiating skills consist of not paying his bills.

He said he didn't have an organ, but I bet Putin has one for him. What's the world coming to when Will makes sense ?

4. Prepares???? Hahahahahaha

Trump never prepares.

And with Putin all he needs to do is nod and say "da".
