I watched your meeting with President Vladmir Putin of Russia. It was very interesting but not too productive. Russia has no intentions of letting up on Ukraine no matter what you say. Russia wants Ukraine, “all of it.” A Communist country never lets up on their determination to destroy and own everything they can get away with. Your meeting kind of reminded me of “Romper Room” or “Howdy Doody” without “Clarabell the Clown” where everybody sits around in a circle and and some sort of conversation goes back and forth where in the end it all means nothing. Mr. President, you have got to be terribly careful that you do not become “Clarabell the Clown.” I have served in two Military services and retired from one of them in my 85 years of life. I highly respect the Office of Commander in Chief and support what my Commander in Chief tells me. But Mr. President, you have just invited a man who is as deadly as they come onto American soil. Do me a favor, Mr. President. The next time you meet with the likes of President Putin, do it in a row boat in the middle of the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean, heavily infested with killer Sharks.
