President Trump wasn’t too happy when he saw the report from CNN that there was a previously undisclosed meeting between him and his BFF Vladimir Putin.
Here’s what he tweeted about it:
Fake News story of secret dinner with Putin is "sick." All G 20 leaders, and spouses, were invited by the Chancellor of Germany. Press knew!

SICK!!!
But he’s dissembling here. Yes, the press knew about the dinner. NO, they didn’t know about the second meeting. As far as we know.
The Fake News is becoming more and more dishonest! Even a dinner arranged for top 20 leaders in Germany is made to look sinister!

This is just weird to me. Why is he so angry about this? If the meeting is not a big deal then don’t freak out over it. Let the left freak out, and they’ll look stupid by comparison. But when he freaks out all the time it just gives them more fodder to say, “See? Why is he freaking out?!” And they’ll have a point…
Here’s CNN on the meeting earlier:
