(1) #TeamTrump #PhotoThread: Visit to Europe July 2018 - Part VI.
Additional pix from the #HelsinkiMeeting with Russia, & returning home to the WH after the trip. There will also be a Part VII in this series, & a thread of links to each part.
Below: Driving to the meeting.
(2) An official photo from the visit to the residence of the Finnish President and First Lady.
(3) The two First Ladies met while their husbands held a bilateral meeting with their teams.
(4) Both ladies incorporated butterflies into their outfits... a nod to the Finnish exhibit at NY fashion week coinciding with the country's 100th anniversary.
(5) Greeting their Finnish counterparts at the Presidential palace and walking into the room for official photos before the meetings.
(6) The three Presidents in Helsinki. Our opponents criticize Trump for even meeting with the leaders of North Korea & Russia, but were fine about him meeting with the leaders of China, Turkey, & anyone else that doesn't fit their divisive narrative.
This is NORMAL diplomacy.
(7) Helsinki was more than a press conference!
The bilateral talks were part of the real work of the visit. Many important things were achieved, but the MSM is annoyed that nothing leaked & little was announced.
Normal diplomacy strikes again. Inpeach!
(8) The media at the event were so feral that they had to be fenced in for security reasons. LOL
(9) My favorite pic from the presser. Trump smiles as Putin rightly mocks anyone who believed the more salacious claims in the dossier, and those who used it. They are beyond unprofessional, and beneath the dignity of Presidential diplomacy.
(10) Lavrov looks on as FLOTUS, Sec Pompeo and Amb Hunstman listen to President Trump.
The USA went into & came out of the meeting in a much stronger position than Russia. If the MSM did actual journalism they'd have explained why. Instead, they're stenographers for the Left.
(11) Another iconic photo from the presser as FLOTUS catches the soccer ball. The Russian side laugh along with the American side.
I look forward to seeing this ball on display when I visit the Trump Presidential Library & Museum one day.
(12) The MSM chose to use photos that made Trump look bad, while ignoring photos like this one of Putin listening as Trump spoke. Of course Putin wants to *look* stronger than Trump... that doesn't mean he is. We don't know what was said in meetings, nor should we. Simple.
(13) You can almost see a smile as POTUS waves to those lining the streets of Helsinki. Lots of locals and tourists came out to see them, as they do everywhere.
(14) Departing Helsinki and arriving in Washington, DC. FLOTUS smiling at the waiting officials at Andrews AFB even though it's the middle of the night and she must be tired from the busy schedule of the trip.
(15) Home after travelling to Brussels, London, Glasgow, and Helsinki.
Well done, POTUS, FLOTUS and team! Knocked it out of the park.
#MAGA
