trump has held since he took office. the very fact that now the meddling is on the table, and we may have disagreements about how that conversation developed, but that they're developing a framework for future cyber attacks and how they're going to handle it on each side and how they're going to keep the russians out of the u.s. and other countries, that is promising and this agreement in syria could be very promising. it is a multistate agreement. not only with the russians and the united states but also with jordan and israel. and if we could start working together with the russians, that's something john kerry wanted to do in the obama administration. we could start working with the russians more closely on syria, that could be very promising too. this was presidential. this was big league stuff. >> the fact, though, laura, to you next, as a former member of the obama administration, you have been very critical of president trump. your reaction. do you give the president credit with how he handled the election interference off the top?
