you've called yourself one of, if not his number one foe, here is how republican congressman mike kaufmanesident's interactions with putin. this is what he told cnn just yesterday. >> i think the first time it was a terrible mistake. the second summit would be equally bad. i mean the fact is that the president went to europe and i think he was strong when it came to talking to our allies and weak when it came to putin. and we'd just advise aggression. we're also very concerned about him meeting alone with putin. >> do you think he got played by putin? >> absolutely. >> he thinks that president trump got played by putin. as someone who's had dealings with the putin regime, what do you think president trump should learn from your experience dealing with putin? >> well, what i know about vladimir putin is that he's not a person that can be negotiated with. he is a bald-faced liar and he is a cold-blooded killer. it's effectively like having a summit with pablo escobar. in dealing with a person like this, you have to be absolutely tough. there's no buddy buddy, no "we need to be friends." vla
