President Trump and Vladimir Putin rolled up to Alaska's Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson for a summit with all the subtlety of a WWE tag team match. Trump claimed he'd know in 'the first couple of minutes' if Putin was serious about peace — talk about a rush job! The opening gabfest expanded last minute from a tête-à-tête to a squad meeting including Marco Rubio. Putin even bailed on his signature late arrival power move and Putin's crew showed up with USSR nostalgia, including a foreign minister in a USSR shirt. Trump's aiming for a ceasefire or 'severe consequences' — stakes higher than Game of Thrones finales.
