of that, center. we will continue to watch how all of this plays out. reaction is already pouring in. the wall street journal editorial board, thank you. thank you for having me. a lot of reaction to that my former cia director sent out a moan to go on twitter. this is what he said this press conference about the detractors of president trump, they will not be dissuaded at all. it rises to and exceeds, he writes about the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors, it was nothing short of treasonous, not only were trump s comments imbecilic, he is republican patriots, where are you? that is from john brenneman a moment ago. back with dan and brett in a moment as we watch the scene outside the palace here in helsinki. john brennan has started the train against the president yet again. somebody should have
on that question. both world leaders touting this as a success. when i stepped up from there, putin said we can call it a success. he went on to praise president trump for bringing an attitude of dialogue. trump reciprocated and said it went very well, our relationship has never been worse than it is now. and as he said as of four hours ago, that has changed. and now, john, a reaction in washington around the country, and around the world. yeah, and i think that there are some parallels between this and at the kim jong un summit in singapore a month ago. with the president, at his level, was trying to break open some dialogue. he was trying to make some advances. at the administrative level, all of the screws are still being tightened on north korea. they have not let that go at all. i think we are seeing the same thing here. at the presidential level, president trump tried to break open some avenues of dialogue, someways that the united states
