"Fake News story of secret dinner with Putin is 'sick.' All G 20 leaders, and spouses, were invited by the Chancellor of Germany. Press knew!" Trump said on Twitter.

"The Fake News is becoming more and more dishonest! Even a dinner arranged for top 20 leaders in Germany is made to look sinister!" he tweeted seven minutes later.

However, as several journalists pointed out, the existence of the private dinner was never in question. Coverage of the conversation focused on its unusual length and the fact that there is no government record of it. Trump did not use an American translator during the interaction, instead relying on Putin's translator.

Ian Bremmer, president of geopolitical risk firm Eurasia Group, said other attendees were shocked by the conversation.

"Pretty much everyone at the dinner thought this was really weird, that here is the president of the United States, who clearly wants to display that he has a better relationship personally with President Putin than any of us, or simply doesn't care," Bremmer told the New York Times. "They were flummoxed, they were confused and they were startled."

Does he not think this stuff will be checked or found out? How is he this arrogant? I guess he knows people will believe him regardless so he doesn't care?

Trump should show he's better than the "dishonest media" by being honest with the people of the country he's leading. Like disclosing meetings with other leaders.

It isn't that he denied it happened. It's just weird there is no government record of the meeting. Which is common procedure.

Not bringing your own translation is just... Insane.

This is the supposed 'secret' meeting. A bunch of people in a room and Trump and Putin was having a conversation. The media made it look like they went to a secret backroom 1-1 to talk about evil conspiracy theories.

This looks like a dinner for leaders and spouses attending G-20. Yeah, Trump and Putin was colluding and talking about evil plans in public, right in front of everyone. The media will do anything to continue to support their failed Russian salad dressing narrative.

This is nothing more than the Media making a big deal out of nothing. One more wolf cry and they'll become irrelevant.

And it seems that the meeting is already bearing fruit for Russia.
