Putin gave Trump a soccer ball at their meeting in Helsinki - if he'd given him another one he would have finally had a pair.

He seems like one of the few with a brain at Fux and not afraid to use it. I wonder how much longer he will work there! Guess he's on when Trump is napping. If enough Fox talking heads said this kind of thing (honesty) he'd be out in less than a year.

Agreed, although Chris Wallace seems honest. Still his approach to a topic and how he will discuss it is that of someone on the right.

Trump on Wednesday took the extraordinary-for-Trump (though normal for a normal president) step of sitting for a conventional interview with a non-propaganda television station, taking questions from CBS News’s Jeff Glor. And while the performance narrowly addressed the core issue — Trump’s on-again, off-again refusal to say that Russian hacking in the 2016 election happened and was bad — it mostly served to underscore how profound a crisis America faces.
Trump was evasive and ignorant, relentlessly dishonest, and at turns belligerent and weirdly passive — all in an interview that lasted less than eight minutes. It’s clear that he is either covering up some kind of profound wrongdoing or else simply in way over his head and incapable of managing the country’s affairs. It’s hard to say which one is worse, but neither is acceptable.

Maybe you don't want to click the link? I'll give you a sample of Trump double-talk explained:
Trump keeps undermining his own statements on hacking. There is by now a tired and well-established song-and-dance routine where Trump faces pressure to say that he agrees Russia was responsible for the hacking and that Russian-backed hacking is bad, only to take it back later. With Glor, Trump provided his best performance of the week — affirming all the basic verbal formulas that congressional Republicans want to hear in order to pretend there’s nothing odd happening.
But then he does something weird.
GLOR: "But he denies it, so if you believe US intelligence agencies, is Putin lying to you?"
TRUMP: "I don’t want to get into whether or not he’s lying. I can only say that I do have confidence in our intelligence agencies as currently constituted. I think that [Director of National Intelligence] Dan Coats is excellent; I think that [CIA Director] Gina [Haspel] is excellent. I think we have excellent people in the agencies. And when they tell me something, it means a lot."
Look, obviously if the US intelligence community is correct about its attribution of the hacking, then Putin is lying. And if you’re not sure whether Putin is lying, then you are not accepting the attribution of the intelligence community.
Intelligence has been wrong in the past, and it’s not per se illegitimate for the president to question its findings and demand more information. But Trump isn’t doing that. Instead, he’s acting more like a hostage than a president. He keeps reaffirming his faith in his appointees and the agencies they lead even while not affirming the substance of what they are saying.

So, SECOND, let me summarize for you!
The America that YOU want is an America that never recognizes common goals. An America where the inhabitants spend a lot of time fighting each other. Because a fractured America is perfect for you, since YOU get to exploit a lot of people!
That is the CLEAREST demonstration of the elite's POV ever posted on this site: A society based on every man for himself and God against all allows you to be predatory. All of your "virtue signaling" about the poor illegal alien, the poor poor, the poor internationalist was just that ... so much virtue signaling to cover up your entirely rapacious view of your fellow Americans and your completely disloyal view of America.
And you clearly blamed me for that; you truly are crazy.
I am just one in 3.3 million people in top 1 percent. Blame the others. It is not me. It is definitely some of them, mostly the ones who voted for Trump.
The only way to slow down these crooked Republican-Americans is with government.
The Democrats started the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop the predation by Republican-Americans. But Trump wants to kill that bureau because it slows down the predation by Republican-Americans. I think that demonstrates Trump is a Scumbag.
The Bureau is one of many big differences between the GOP and Democrats. The GOP opposed the Bureau from the very start in 2010. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Financial_Protection_Bureau

Signym, there is no doubt you are a Russian troll because of all the things you don't know about America, bad things that happen all the time because the GOP does not want to apply the brakes to the cheating businesses. But if you are an actual American, I apologize. I am so sorry you are crazy and ignorant and a defender of Trump.

Signym, you cannot be living in America and not know that American business is predatory.- SECOND
Even when you (verbally) slap them in the face with that fact, all they do is roll over on their backs and widdle on their bellies.
