Today’s largest headline has been underscored by even more ridiculous reporting on what occurred, subtly, just moments before.
The much-anticipated meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin took place today on the sidelines of the ongoing G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany. The two leaders have been embroiled in a number of controversial maneuvers from well before Trump took office in January, thanks to the fake news mainstream media insisting that Putin and the Kremlin interfered in the 2016 U.S. election; a theory made popular by doomed democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in a weak attempt to preemptively create excuses for her impending failure at the polls.
Now, after the Syrian conflict caused Russia to lash out at the United States, and North Korea continues to irk both leaders, the two gentlemen were able to sit down and speak for the first time in person today. Trump pressed Putin on alleged election hacking stories, Syria, Ukraine, and other massively important topics. The media, however, chose to focus on their own selfish resentment of President Trump, accusing him of cozying up to Putin with a weak handshake.
It seems that handshakes are the mainstream media’s new favorite topic.
