the words spoke after that. not the way we see president trump criticized before this meeting takes place. you already heard hem say this meeting is going to fail. making his way toward the palace. walk us through what is going through the president s mind? you everywhere just with him a few days ago. i think the best thing that can come out of this summit is for the two of them to stand up at the end and say we now have an understanding. we now have a genuine working relationship. not just to say it but to mean it. trump, of course, is very transactional. in all of his negotiations. but i don t think that out of this summit we are going to get anything very concrete. working relationships work. look, president macron of france, with his different views could have developed a relationship with president trump if these two guys can get along that s good for the world. ainsley: nigel, i want to interrupt you, excuse me. the president is just arriving. you can see the motorcade pulling
