#Krasnov was always an easy mark for the Russians .. bring a girl, give him a compliment .. say he's brilliant or some thing and he's putty  ... A #translator noted that this put Trump at a natural disadvantage when the two men talked...
"Many times when #Putin and #Trump were interacting, Putin's actually making fun of him!" she said. "It's just completely lost in the #translation. I can give you lots of episodes of this, always trying to goad him and urge him on to something, because he's always trying to see how he'll react and the translation smooths over all that and the context is absolutely missing. And he doesn't do a readout afterwards!"
She went on to say that Trump's approach to dealing with Putin was "amateur hour" because he wasn't getting the deep meaning of Putin's statements beyond surface-level talking points.
