Trump Accepts A Soccer Ball From Putin. See Reactions (PHOTOS) by Vianna(f): 7:39am On Jul 17, 2018 |
The timing at Monday's press conference in Helsinki was too perfect. Right after Russian president Vladimir Putin answered a question on cooperative efforts in Syria and whether the ball is "in the Russian court," he stopped the discussion to present something to President Donald Trump — a soccer ball. The "gift" from Putin turned a metaphor about political positioning into a literal stance on sports, as the world leaders shifted the attention to the World Cup. Speaking about having the ball in our court in Syria, President Trump has just mentioned that we've successfully concluded the World Football Cup. Speaking of the football, actually..." Putin said, trailing off, stepping away from the podium to pick up a 2018 World Cup soccer ball, according to ABC News. "Mr. President, I will give this ball to you, and now the ball is in your court." The soccer ball from Putin immediately prompted skeptical social media reactions from both lawmakers and the public. https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.bustle.com/p/why-did-putin-give-trump-a-soccer-ball-the-gift-has-some-symbolism-behind-it-9783024/amp 8 Likes 2 Shares

Prior to the appearance of the soccer ball, the subject of whose court the ball was in came from a reporter who had asked a question on Syria, according to ABC News. The reporter had referenced a Sunday night tweet from Pompeo, who had written, A better relationship with the Russian government would benefit all, but the ball is in Russia’s court." It seems the language of the moment came from the tweet. 1 Like 1 Share

*** America didn't participate in the just concluded FIFA World Cup, and this Vladimir Putin literally telling POTUS “Go play with the ball and save the game for the Professionals” *** The “Ball is in your court” and Putin hands him that ball basically saying he doesn’t see Trump as a rival in the game, probably saying Trump couldn’t even SCORE even if he tried. A slight change from that could suggest that he is saying ‘Balls in your court’ Trump indicating the recent Mueller indictments of Russian officials and more or less hinting to Trump to fire Mueller, but that is a bit of an over reach I think. But seriously Kim Jong UN and Vladimir Putin are playing ping pong� with Donald the Clown �. It's the new International game at embarrassing orange synthetic POTUS expense. 27 Likes 5 Shares |

Putin isn't a saint bt so is the us. Putin solved huge problems America created by their stupidity, Syria and isis issues. Sofar Trump is handling putin well and hes doing an excellent job.

I remember when the North Korean leader's sister switched pen, mouths started wagging. Now Putin handed over a ball, now this same people who wagged their mouths are wagging it again. I mean, must everything be/look suspicious? It's not a must President Trump take the ball with him to the U.S, is it? 17 Likes |

World government is shrouded in secrecy and mystery. Americans are terrible people, they find every means to infiltrate sovereign nations. Am not surprise they are calling for thorough scanning of soccer ball handed to Trump by Putin for bugs. Am sure Trump would keep a backdoor replica in the white house while the original ball stays with the Pentagon. 7 Likes 1 Share |
