Vlad, the Trump Impaler, New York Times Op-Ed, Maureen Dowd
...down the rabbit hole with Vladimir Putin. Much of his base does not appreciate it when the American president stands in the Oval Office yucking it up with Russian diplomats, oversharing our secrets and calling the F.B.I. director he just fired “a nut job.”
Even a lot of Trump voters are mystified about why Trump can’t put a lid on his id long enough to acknowledge that Russia besmirched our elections.
In his attenuated first meeting with his side bae, Trump staged a Kabuki show of confronting the former K.G.B. agent.
Their conversation boiled down to this:
Trump: “Did you do it?”
Putin: “Nyet.”
Trump: “Whew! Glad that’s out of the way. So let’s do a joint cybersecurity program and share our passwords.”
Putin: “Da.”
