Trump is our president. He vowed to protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
I am not convinced that he is doing that. Making a deal with Putin about not looking to quarrels of the past and moving forward productively is condoning what happened. Accepting Putin’s denial of the Russian hacking is naïve at least, negligent of duty more likely.
Russia is one of the world’s most corrupt countries. If you need further education or information about Russian corruption, read the book Red Notice by Bill Browder. It will convince you.
Up to now, America was in an entirely different league. But that is changing rapidly with Trump and is ilk in office. Nepotism abounds.
He put his daughter at the table with the G-20 world leaders, rather than another elected official or a cabinet-level appointee. His daughter! Who has never held a job in her life that he didn’t hand to her or appoint her to. Who has no diplomatic experience whatsoever. Our president left the cockpit while the ship was under full sail, and he gave the helm to his unqualified and inexperienced daughter. Are the nuclear codes safe with him? Nothing else seems to be.
I wonder what we would have said to Obama if he had sat his daughter at that table in 2014? Seriously!
By inviting the Russians to jointly investigate cyber security, he is inviting the proverbial fox into the henhouse. This is foolish. The Russians are playing Trump like a fiddle. And we’re all sitting here watching in disbelief.
Trump is unqualified and unfit. We knew that all along, and even his GOP opponents proclaimed it before the election. Together with unqualified and unfit, he is now also uneducated and unsophisticated. The world laughs about us and about him. He doesn’t even seem think there is anything wrong. After all, his supporters wanted him to “fix America” and not the world. But with the role and influence of America in the world, that’s just not possible. He is passing world leadership to China and Russia, and that may never be reversed.
China and Russia are smarter, more experienced, more shrewd and more corrupt than we are.
And we are the laughing-stock of the world.
One of our senior journalists posted this after the G20. let me know if you can’t view it and I’ll find another source.

Thanks. Was able to access it. My sentiments exactly.
Trump was never my candidate. His arrogance is one problem and his lack of regard for people outside his little rich world is another. He has shown after his time in office in addition he is stupid, blinded by his own self view of himself. Normally I try to write on a somewhat professional level. This is the exception. He’s not merely stupid, he’s a dumb ass being duped by arrogant, evil son of a bitch.
Hey, Phil! Trump does elicit expletives, doesn’t he? I constantly have to curb my anger.
