From the interview with an editor in chief of a Russian newspaper:

Sean Illing

Has Putin made a puppet of Trump?
Mikhail Fishman

Of course. This is certainly what the Kremlin believes, and they’re acting accordingly. They're quite obviously playing Trump. They consider him a stupid, unstrategic politician. Putin is confident that he can manipulate Trump to his advantage, and he should be.
Sean Illing

In other words, Trump’s a useful idiot to them?
Mikhail Fishman

Exactly. The Kremlin is limited in their knowledge about what's going on in Washington, but they see the chaos and the confusion in Trump's administration. They see the clumsiness, the inexperience. Naturally, they're working to exploit that.

Hey Trumpsters, even some Russians realize what a stooge Trump is.

That is a change of tone PP whether you see it or not. I read A LOT of conservative news media.

And so what will conservatives do about it? Nothing. Just a bunch of hot air.

Yuck even that makes it sound like he was defiant toward Putin, which isn't even close to what happened, of course.

There's a few other headlines. They're now acknowledging the controversy but making it seem like only Democrats (Pelosi etc.) are furious at what Trump said. I can now understand why more Republicans aren't outraged by Trump's behavior--they're only getting a partial view of his misdeeds.

Not totally true. Several conservative pundits have broken with Trump. Bret Baier called his behavior at the summit “disgusting” and Joe Walsh said he’ll never support Trump again.

We’ll see if that convinces some Trump supporters to finally see reality.

Joe Walsh is hardly someone people listen to.

I do have a serious question though for those of you and truly think you are witnessing the destruction or demise of America: What is it exactly that you fear is being destroyed? Do you really think that all the freedom you enjoy (and always have because nobody has been able to destroy it up to this point) is truly at risk? You'll have a new President in a few years. Even if something gets broke, it will be fixable.

What I fear is we may not have free and fair (its a relative phrase, but I mean not interfered by foreign power) election anymore. GOP will remain in power in 2018 and 2020. Trump will ruin all protections for citizens, pack the judiciary with incompetent sycophants and GOP will not have any check on him. Citizen will tune out news media and trump will curtail news media's power while empowering Fox (or some other media) as the state media. By 2024, we would be a authoritarian oligarchic country like Russia, having elections with no power in the hand of people.

Exactly this!

When is the breaking point with the American people? When social security is gone? We have a massive financial crisis from all the debt? What exactly will it take if this doesn't do it? Or are we too fat, dumb, and lazy with the NFL #1 on our minds?

I vote for fat dumb and lazy. There should have been an outcry 10 years ago but instead the GOP consolidated its grip on idiots and here we are today.
