The Russian officials are laughing about Trump disclosing highly classified information to them!
Quote:
The Russian president openly mocked an encounter shared between Trump, Sergey Lavrov, the Kremlin’s foreign minister, and Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador, in which the president reportedly divulged highly classified intel to the Russian visitors in the Oval Office last week. Putin and Lavrov shared a laugh over the incident in a moment captured by Russian state-sponsored media that immediately went viral across the web.
There have been several news stories, from different sources (including the link above) noting that the political leaders President Trump is scheduled to meet with have been advised to limit their personal engagements to a few minutes, due to Mr. Trump's well-known short attention span.
Of course, it was noted a few days ago that President Trump's advance team have not been on the ball. An American diplomat in Israel, for instance, in telling the Israeli officials that Mr. Trump wished to visit the Western Wall in Jerusalem without the President of Israel, made the rather unfortunate remark that said Wall is considered part of the West Bank. Of course, the White House quickly issued a statement saying that the diplomat's words do not reflect the stance of Mr. Trump.
Of course, I hope that President Trump does well on this tour of the Middle East and Italy. It is in our country's interest that he does well.
Chris Riotta is an idiot. Putin wasn't mocking Trump; Putin was mocking Chris Riotta (and America's unhinged media).
I disagree. They were laughing that Trump so easily revealed classified information without realizing what he was doing.
About the exact conversation that took place in the oval office, I guess Americans will have to rely on Russian media for that, huh?
Or...we can go by Trump's words. Which one do you trust more?

US President Trump has in essence confirmed reports he had shared sensitive information with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov.
He has tweeted that he shared with the Russians “facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety”. White House official is quoted as saying the Russians ‘tricked’ the White House team during last week’s Trump – Lavrov meeting when a Russia state news agency photographer was allowed to take photos while US media were kept out.

According to the reports, Trump revealed to Lavrov and Russian Ambassador to US, Sergey Kislyak, details about an ISIS threat involving a plot to use electronic devices to smuggle explosives onto planes.
Putin was "scolding" Lavrov because, supposedly, he had to learn about some super-duper above top secret info Trump passes on thru the American Press.
