The Russians have been cultivating Trump as an asset for more than 20 years.  It makes you wonder what they have on him that he would debase himself so much - proof of his money laundering most likely, but who knows what else.  Of course he will trust Putin and disparage US intelligence - Mueller's investigation points to the collusion that got him "elected" in the first place.  We have been in a de facto cyber war against Russia (or at least they are against us - not sure if we are fighting back).  Colluding with an enemy during wartime is the definition of treason.  Trump is a traitor and should be impeached immediately as he obviously is not serving the interests of the US.

The most disgusting thing is not Trump, it is his Republican enablers who allow this travesty to continue.  If a Democrat had pulled any of the nonsense Trump does on a daily basis the Republicans and their Fox propaganda outlet would be calling for impeachment immediately - and rightly so.  Yet Trump continues to destroy everything about the US and the Republicans do nothing.  They are still planning congressional races based on who is the biggest Trump supporter.  Trump's base appears to be a bunch of brain-dead morons who will support him no matter what.  This is the biggest threat to the US in my lifetime and when you look at similar phenomena worldwide makes me wonder whether democracy is a tenable form of government over the long term.  I hope the Democrats can get their act together and come up with a strategy for helping the country before it is too late.
