It will only be awkward if Trump doesn't have the balls to say he holds all the cards and Putin should just back way the hell down.
It won't happen though.
All that gold has blinded Trump to just what real power he holds.

Texas forbids law that keeps guns away from unhinged people Despite recent massacres in the state, GOP leaders ban a proven tool to help stop them.

Starting in September, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers will make it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Israelis have murdered Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif. The fucking bastards. I’m sorry but I’m enraged. They’d been threatening this for a while. Anas was so courageous and brought a special emotion and depth to his reports. He was our eyes. And that’s why they killed him.

Anas al-Sharif REFUSED to leave Gaza and continued to report on the crimes against his people

He was martyred as a hero, a real man. He did not deserve to die.

ISRAELI FORCES DID THIS - THIS WAS NOT RANDOM

HE WAS TARGETED!

Trump Administration to Put F.B.I. Agents on Night Patrol in Washington
