talked act grabbing women in the bleeps and all these horrible things and now they ve got him really endangering national security and they want to pass a bill. you read the report, for those of us who actually read the report, and it becomes with such stark and sobering terms about the relationship between china and russia, about the fact that this is the most aligned they ve been since the 1950s, about the fact that they are working together towards global disorder. and again, in those opening pages, it says, not only is this happening, but our allies are abandoning us over our changes to trade and international security so we have the greatest threats we ve ever had and we are the most alone we ve ever been. to your question about republicans, i think it s telling that in the house, you have them passing a piece of legislation that would prevent the president from pulling out of nato without congressional approval. i hear from sources that there will be there s already been simi
making clear that all of this information that he s turning over to the lawyers is going to the russian government and being used, again, against the u.s. and now arguing that he obviously shouldn t have to turn over sensitive information that would hurt national security. it s amazing, it s the sort of thing that a normal american president would call a normal russian leader and yell at him about and a normal white house would have the staff in there to read about a normal interaction between an american president and russian president and go out to the press and tell people like jonathan, yeah, the president just told the russian leader that if he sees one more scrap of sensitive information from robert mueller s investigation on facebook or whatever the heck they do with it, we re going to have trouble. yeah, but president putin and president trump have a common interest in doing damage to robert mueller, in doing damage to the fbi. that s so depressing. in doing damage to n
i mean, the intelligence community seems to have seen this coming. i pulled that up. let s watch it. frankly, i ve been stunned by the degree to which mr. trump has been willing to push back on what the intelligence community believes to be a high confidence judgment and nicole, he doesn t seem to be pushing back because he s got different data or new data. he seems to be pushing back because it contradicts what he would like the narrative to be, and that s a very unusual place for american intelligence to be with its first client. he s completely correct. i mean, this is how the president operates. in some ways, it s the most simple answer is the correct one and he operates in a different reality. it s about public relations. and i think that in terms of the russia questioning the intelligence conclusions there, a lot of that was the fear of being considered an illegitimate president, that if russia interfered with the 2016 election, that means he didn t win fair and square, we
with dishonest progressism with fantasy programs, tough to win a lying contest against donald trump. if they re worried about donald trumps, they re not doing their jobs. they have the infrastructure, the history, if you re whining about some coffee guy jumping in, then they have already lost the campaign or the election. he is not someone they should be worried about. he is more likely to hurt donald trump. i never under a liberal left or democrat that is worried about him. rich people want to run for president because they can. i can be trump, i can be mark cuban, but the more the merrier. i don t think he will be successful. i don t think he will get anywhere, but the idea that
this seems like we become numb to this at our own peril. peter baker has reporting in the new york times that around this area of really bizarre, dangerous foreign policy, the president who s under investigation by his own law enforcement agencies for possibly being a russian asset now has some republicans breaking with him. peter baker writes today that a growing chorus of republican critics for trump s foreign policy are emerging. more than two years into his administration, the disconnect between president trump and the republican establishment on foreign policy has rarely been as stark. in recent days, the president s own advisers and allies have been pushing back, challenging his view of the world and his prescription for its problems, the growing discontent among republican national security hawks was most evident on tuesday when senator mcconnell effectively rebuked the president introducing a measure. i m sorry, maybe they shouldn t have covered for him when he
