Our detente with Russia is building. Soon we will announce a "normalization of relations" with Putin and whether we "withdraw" from NATO or get expelled, the result will be clear. In a week or so trump will be talking about our WWII alliance with Russia and our "natural friendship." then, the meaning of the appointments of Gabbard and Hegseth will be clear even to the Republicans afflicted with Trumpian sun-blindness.

Trump is also using the meeting in Saudi Arabia to talk business. I wonder just what cut he will expect from each business deal.

I'm sure Jared, Ivanka, and Don Jr. are now, and have been, in Saudi Arabia. C'mon.

Gaza, Ukraine, Panama Canal, Greenland - All theirs for the taking. They can split up the world like the military does for their command centers. Javanka will get the Middle East. Don Jr. can have the Northern Hemisphere.

Can we get tossed from NATO? That would be a bit embarrassing, no? Wonder what the 'very serious Republican hawks' would make of that.

The Republicans have been helping Trump leave first.

Was this in the campaign?
