Not to worry, America, while Donald Trump's communications team is busy airing every petty grievance of our man-child in chief, we're back to getting a steady flow of information from America’s most trusted name in news: The Kremlin.
That's right—after the highly anticipated first meeting between the Don and his best bro Vlad, it was the Kremlin that first blasted out the news of palm finally meeting palm in the handshake seen ‘round the world. Here's the AP's initial account Friday morning:
The Kremlin says that President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump have exchanged a handshake and a few words ahead of their sit-down at the G-20 summit.
Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Putin and Trump “shook hands and told each other that they will shortly have a separate meeting.”
Following up on that inaugural fail, Trump's crackerjack press shop let Russia take the lead on tweeting the first photo, releasing a pic of Trump practically groveling to shake Putin’s hand:
But wait, there’s more! RT delivered the world’s first account of what was discussed:
(Note: As of 1:30 PM ET still no tweets from @realDonaldTrump or @PressSec or @WhiteHouse. The White House press shop was apparently too busy delivering an off-camera account to U.S. pool reporters.)
Yep, Trump’s comms team got beat to the punch on the global stage not once, not twice, but three times on Friday. Heck of a job, there, Spicey.
