What did Trump say to Putin that rattled Karoline Leavitt?

a break. A lot of the press corps that was there, they reported in the minutes and hours after the presser that they saw members of the administration like Carolyn Leavitt look ashen, almost frightened after what they had seen behind closed doors. What did that indicate
to you?
Well, first, we should all be glad that we did not go to Alaska, because I was in Helsinki with you and I was in Geneva when President Biden met, they traveled a long ways for nothing in return. There's journalists, right? But that suggests to me that this was a bigger disaster than they're leading on to your point. They're trying to spin it, although they're not even trying to spin it. That's a really interesting thing. When I worked at the White House and we have meetings like this, I was the SAO, the senior administration official that would call up journalists, that would call the New York Times to say, this is what was discussed to push it this way.
They're not even attempting to do that because they know they don't have anything to work
with.
So I got to wonder what Trump and Putin talked about that made them seem so frightened and shocked. And we're kind of seeing that trickle out now where Donald Trump was really toting the European line about Ukraine couldn't give away anything without concessions from Russia and then within three hours of meeting first off there is no decision made at all there is no deal Trump got totally
rolled over but then following that meeting Donald Trump was speaking Russian talking points. So something happened in that meeting and I rolled over but then following that meeting Donald Trump was speaking Russian talking points. So something happened in that meeting and I hope we can find out what it is.
