President Donald Trump seems to have changed his mind suddenly on meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G-20 summit.

Trump still planned to attend the meeting as recently as the press gaggle before he boarded Air Force One Thursday morning.

He has largely held back on condemning Putin over his aggression in the Ukraine, offering only lukewarm criticism.

  3. Perhaps Kelly or Javanka got through to him. Or, did Putin cancel it and Donnie’s saving face by saying, and lying, that he cancelled it?

  4. Want to bet it will suddenly be back on when he gets there? Or there’s a secret one?
