The train wreck that is the Trump Presidency is gathering momentum. If anyone had doubts Donald Trump is up to his eyeballs in Russian naughtiness, the joint Trump-Putin press conference may open some eyes. (You know, if multiple convictions and indictments weren’t enough.)
Honestly, Vladimir Putin may have played his mark a little too well. Trump’s fealty to Putin was just a little too, well, obvious. So obvious in fact that many Republicans are up in arms over the performance — at least until the next time someone yells “tax cut!”
After a firestorm of criticism, President Trump kinda’ sorta’ walked back one word (yes, one word) of his press conference. He can’t even do a proper political walk-back. In the face of forty-five minutes of throwing his own administration and the (occasionally evil) United States intelligence community under the bus, one word ain’t going to fix it. Even Paul Ryan almost grew a spine. Almost.
