The National Embarassment

At the G20 summit this week, rather than stand up to Vladimir Putin about ongoing Russian interference in America's election, Donald Trump made light of it with him in front of reporters (details here).

Remember Trump promised to be much stronger than any previous President when dealing with foreign adversaries? By no stretch of the imagination would Trump's groveling this week be classified as strong. It made Neville Chamberlain in Munich look strong in comparison.

And then Trump went from bad to worse. While sitting alongside the man who has ordered the murder of dozens of journalists in his country, Trump joked about silencing reporters and getting "rid of them."

Does Trump think this makes him "look strong" while flitting all around a disgusting dictator like this? If Republicans had any balls, they'd call him on this. But of course they won't.
