Moscow – Russian President Vladimir Putin, known for his passion for the outdoors, showed off his softer side during a visit to China when he sat down to play the piano Sunday.

Putin is in Beijing on a state visit to discuss a $1 trillion infrastructure plan that strives to revive the ancient Silk Road.
After speaking at the summit in the morning, Putin headed to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at his residence.
Putin is habitually late for meetings, but this time he was the one who was made to wait, Russian news agencies said.
So, Putin played some songs on Xi’s piano. Russian state television showed excerpts of at least two tunes he played — “Moscow Windows” and “City on the Free Neva” — both Soviet classics.
Putin has demonstrated his music talents before. In 2010, he took the stage at a charity concert with a jazz band to play and sing “Blueberry Hills.”
But in recent years, Putin — occupied with the annexation of Crimea, the crisis in eastern Ukraine and Russia’s role in Syria — preferred to demonstrate his virile side in Kremlin-distributed pictures of him hunting and fishing.
But our President knows how to run a university! (failed Trump university). But our President knows how to operate a gambling joint (failed Atlantic City Casino). But our President knows how please women (two divorces, many beauty pageants, a ‘modeling’ agency and other stuff not to mention here). C’mon guys – someone here help me out!
Regarding the two scoops of ice cream, will someone please enlighten me, why the White House physician, or other staff members (i.e. Ivanka), don’t see to it that Trump is placed on a regimented exercise/diet program? The White House has the exercise equipment, plus a swimming pool, indoors. The President, is 50-60 lbs. overweight. He must get his weight down, and must cut back on his calories. Otherwise, he will go down as the second heaviest President in history. You can talk against Obama all that you want; however, he worked out everyday, and was in top physical condition, from the time that he entered the White House, until the day that he left. The only advantage that Trump had over Obama in that regard, is that Trump neither smokes nor drinks. However, he overeats, which can be just as harmful.
