Part of donald trump where hes flattered vladimir putin and all he got from putin in response well, hes colorful. >> he said at least eight times -- i think its more like a dozen. putin has called me a genius. hes called me brilliant. trump judges people by how much adulation they show him. its a matter of translation. many people believe he said hes colorful he could have been describing his hair or his permatan. >> yeah. theyre both ill liberals. they believe in the consent of the west but has...

Skeptics who dont have as much adulation to the president. heres some of the head lines. trump heads to g-20 summit on a collision course. faces uncomfortable conversations with world leaders at summit. as u.s. retires from world leadership, china and germany step up. others about his ruined credibility. listen, there are a lot of people who are taking this battle over trump overseas. >> well, and, look. it is inevitable given the fights that quite clearly outlined that there are going to be cri...
