Dinner diplomacy: Melania Trump sits beside Putin at G20 banquet after her husband confronted him on hacking the election - which Russian leader flatly deniedAfter spending two and a half hours speaking to President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin had dinner seated beside the American leader's wife, Melania.

The Trumps both met Putin for the first time on Friday, as the world's top leaders gathered in Hamburg, Germany at the G20.

President Trump's conversation with Putin signified the first time the Republican brought up Russia's hacking of the 2016 presidential election, which Putin promptly denied.

With the day's business out of the way, the leaders enjoyed a concert and then a Friday night dinner, in which couples were split up and not seated with their spouses.

That's how Melania Trump ended up next to Putin, with President Trump seated down the way, closer to German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The first lady, who grew up in Slovenia, then a part of Yugoslavia, knows several languages including German, which the Russian president also speaks.

Nirapad News : Alina Kabayeva, a former Olympic gold medal-winning rhythmic gymnast, is widely believed to be the lover of Russian President Vladimir Putin and, according to several sources, the mother of at least one of his children.

Although she is rarely seen in public — and never on Putin’s arm — the 31-year-old is seen by many Russians as their country’s undeclared First Lady.

The Trump family is like....Dynasty, or Dalls, or Falcon's Crest, or something.

If I were re-doing Dallas..? I would absolutely use a familiy JUST LIKE THIS.

(but with Barron especially, who I think was busy that day)

LOL! Too bad the Mrs. wasn’t to Macron’s left. It’d be a funny comparison!

[ghost of nixon]

holy crap - let me wrap my head around the ages of these two couples - Macron 39 with wife age 66?, Trump 72 with Melania age 47. Crazy love - a reversed age gap of 52 years when comparing their marriages!

[colorado tanker]

Trump had to sit near Angela? Taking one for the team, fer sure.

I see Macron's mom made it, too

Trump's body language and expression are priceless. "Check out this little faggot next to me. Mommy issues. So Sad."
