Trump’s post is misleading. He lists leaders to inflate himself, spins the meeting as ‘very good,’ and downplays the controversy of calling Putin after (reports say during). It’s less about peace, more about making himself look like the star.

Compare this meeting with all those leaders(equals) to his last, one on one with Putin. The man is too afraid to make his own decision. (Sigh). This is not what you'd want in a president, or anything else for that matter. Thank God for those Leaders, who do know how.

It was always going to be 'The Trump Show'. I'm surprised he didn't pass around an autograph book and require everyone to write him a compliment before the meeting began!

This is all he’s ever been, a grandstander of no substance.

Yeah, it does sound unlikely. Hard to see Europe and Ukraine agreeing to spend $100B on US equipment while also giving up part of Ukraine, and just as unlikely that Putin would accept withdrawing from occupied areas. Trump is most likely exaggerating

It seems to have ended with Trump "hoping" for another meeting. No press conference, Zelensky's canceled Fox interview. That says a lot.

As always, he’s just trying to portray himself as the one who comes out on top.
