Does anybody care?

From Thomas Friedman:

Such behavior by an American president is so perverse, so contrary to American interests and values, that it leads to only one conclusion: Donald Trump is either an asset of Russian intelligence or really enjoys playing one on TV.

Everything that happened in Helsinki today only reinforces that conclusion. My fellow Americans, we are in trouble and we have some big decisions to make today. This was a historic moment in the entire history of the United States.

I believe the moment has been extending for some time but it surely became blatantly obvious today. But the question is still: is this just Trump shooting someone on the street and retaining support, or will folks out there who love him start asking a few questions of themselves? I am not optimistic much change will come soon, but I do hope this gets reflected in the elections ahead.

I don't think Trump is an evil spy. I think he's a spoiled narcissistic sexist racist business wheeler-dealer inveterate lying hallucinating egomaniac. I think Putin has some stuff on him that Trump will do anything to keep secret. It's likely either financial or sexual or both.

To anyone paying attention, none of this is terribly surprising, which is to say, it is all quite in character for the Donald. The record has been there for all to see.
