Did Trump Sound Weak during the Trump, Putin joint press conference?

I read and watch quite a few reports that said Trump seemed weak during the Trump, Putin joint press conference? It didn’t look like it to me. What I saw was Trump not trying to grandstand Putin while at the same time promoting U.S interests. Putin gave Trump a soccer ball in which Trump quickly handed the ball to his wife. Trump was pressed regarding collusion with Russia during the elections, Trump defended himself and Trump’s mannerisms looked rather consistent to what I’ve seen since he first ran for president.

What I found odd was that the press didn’t ask about Crimea? Personally, I thought the press would have made Crimea a major issue instead they focused their attention on an issue that nobody in their right mind really cares about. Only one reporter asked about Crimea and no other reporter pressed the issue of Crimea. Because of this if you watch the video Putin was able to rant about collusion during the U.S elections. Most Democrats don’t even like Hilary Clinton. I can guarantee one thing if Trump was going up against Barack Obama, chances are Obama would have won. Democrats lost to Trump because Hilary would have been a horrible president ad American swing voters knew it. People who will vote Democrat no matter what voted for Hillary, swing voters couldn’t stand her.

This is not to say that a woman can’t be President of the United States one day, but Hilary Clinton was the wrong candidate to run. It’s time the Democrats simply admit that, if Sarah Palin ran against Bernie Sanders chances are Bernie Sanders with all his radical ideas would have won. The press had a good chance to ask a lot of questions about Crimea and they failed to do so. Based on my review of the Trump, Putin joint press conference video Trump looked and sounded like Trump. He did not sound weak to me.

Interesting times ahead.
