What is wrong with Americans? Surely they can see that their President has lost touch with reality. Even the most obsequious supporters of Trump must see that he is afflicted by dementia or something very like it.

His Press Briefing at the White House on the 11th Aug was a train wreck, never mind the paucity of truth he used to justify his actions in DC, his incoherent ramblings about something (does anybody know what he was talking about?) and his confusion over whether the talks with Putin are taking place in Russia or Alaska are lamentable and deserving of censure. The Russians must be rolling in the aisles, with laughter and disbelief.

This buffoon, who is supposed to be the leader of the free world should be removed before he can do anymore damage. Only the American voter can do it.

It will be interesting what the Democratic Party's platform becomes.

it's all so outrageously that it is difficult for people to wrap the heads around it all - dummkopf witkoff (or witless), top drawer narcissist trump, the devil disguised as a human putin - trump not believeing that he can't give away something that is not his - putin believing that he can take something that is not his and witless not understanding anything. laugh? cry? groan in agony? and these people take themselves seriously and expect us to do us the same. thank you, diane, for doing an awesome job of trying to keep us sane in this whirlwind of craziness.

It's time to seriously recognize that Trump is indeed a Russian 'asset'. So was his first wife Ivanna. The Russians have groomed Trump since the late 1980's. This article covers this reality very well. < https://milwaukeeindependent.com/explainers/russian-asset-trumps-policy-behavior-confirms-evidence-groomed-kremlin-since-1980's/ > . So 'a 'Russia Hoax' ? Far from it. Apparently with a Trump presidency... the Russians have installed their 'asset' into the highest office in the USA and the free world. Trump had 2 options: get elected president or go to prison. So he made whatever deals he had to, to make sure he was elected president. Between the 'Project 2025 Billionaires' & Russia... with their help he was elected. THIS is why Trump is always siding with Putin. He's a Russian asset. Russia Hoax ? No way...

Interesting read. Trump is no doubt a Russian asset to this day. If you have not already done so, I encourage you to read Chapter 15 in "Putin's People" by Catherine Belton where the author details Trump's graft with surgical detail.

You wrote:"As one Kyiv parliamentarian said, “The only question is how to make sure Russia never attacks us again?” The answer is easy: To flood Ukraine with long-range weapons and ammunition, tariff Russian oil customers, build an Iron Dome, put destroyers in the Baltic and Black Seas, and mobilize troops to keep the peace permanently. But none of these are on the agenda, and yet, without such security, Putin will never stop, and Ukraine can never rebuild." May the lesson of Neville Chamberlain live on.

Trump knows the art of deception. As he sends out the FBI to quell the apparent anarchy in Washington, he genuflects towards the most odious human since Hitler, Mao and his historical mentor Stalin.

Trump is malleable and Putin is a master manipulator. Trump is a fanboy and is subservient to Putin. Back on the merry-Go-Round.
