President Trump Spoke to Reporters on the Way to Alaska

President Trump didn’t know how the meeting was going to go. No one knows, but everyone has an opinion.

He demands certain things and if he doesn’t get them, he’s going right back home.

The President wants to stop the killing and an immediate ceasefire. He made it clear that he is not listening to Europe or NATO on this. Last week over 7,000 soldiers died, and that is what is why he is in Alaska meeting with Putin.

The war is madness.
