President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I'd point out that we don't get that moment-- which is the real Donald Trump -- without "the enemy of the people" in the room having asked a question that got Trump to show the world exactly what he is, once again.

When another one of those enemies of the people asked Trump who he believes US Intelligence or Vladmir Putin, and if with the whole world watching he'd denounce what happened in 2016. . . . Trump immediately began babbling about the FBI taking servers and the Democratic National Committee and Hilary Clinton's e-mails and sundry other conspiracy theories, or disgraces as he calls them when he starts going. What he didn't do? Denounce Russia or acknowledge any misconduct.

Americans should be seeing that. Whether they pay attention and assign it the significance it deserves, is up to them. It saddens me that many won't. But still. ... Those moments, which were the embodiment of what this country has done to itself. . . . were made possible by free people who were free to ask unfettered questions. Without those enemies of the people, we may as well be living under Vladimir Putin while he plunders the country and nobody at least tries to hold him to account. Actually strike that. Putin may be a dangerous, larcenous thug. But he's not a blithering idiot.
