Weird. Trump's meeting with Brazilian President was supposed to be open to the press

They waited around for three hours. Now Aaron Rupar reports that all of the Brazilian press and the President have left. No explanation about why it was not open to reporters. Trump posted about the meeting but did not acknowledge that he broke his commitment to giving reporters access.

I'm sure if Biden did this it would fly under the radar too.

and by 2:00 the Brazilian president and press were still waiting around...

Now maybe the meeting happened as scheduled and the press was excluded so Rupar mistakenly concluded the Brazilian president was made to wait around as the press was. Or maybe the meeting didn't happen at all and the Trump posts are BS cover. Or maybe the meeting was delayed and then happened briefly without the press, excluding press for whatever same reason that the delay happened. I assume we will find out soon.

(I say "I believe" b/c I saw the post screenshotted while scrolling on Reddit and didn't verify if it was a real post or not)
