Allan, your headline photo cracked me up! The photo shows Trump and Putin at their press conference but prior to the conference, the both of them met privately for 2 hours accompanied by only their translators. My impression of the photo is that Trump had the pained look of a man who just had a colonoscopy where the camera broke off and is still in his intestines. Putin seems to be smiling or holding back from laughing while offering sympathy by patting Trump on the arm.

Putin: “There, there. If you endure pain, I’ll give you a soccer ball.”
