President Trump tried to pull off a stunt in Helsinki that did not quite come off right.
Trump called as his first witness Vladimir Putin. The former KGB agent told the world that Russia did not spy on Democrats and pull strings to get the same Trump elected. The world was not buying any of it, except for two pig farmers in Iowa.
If Trump watched West Wing or any of a number of cop shows he could have figured this out. He and Putin were like the two criminals being interrogated separately and sticking to the same rehearsed testimony. Except without being separated, Putin was able to cover his ass well.
Congress members could not believe what they were hearing.
He was just supposed to lay low and wait for the Mueller inquiry to wrap up. They had time to approve the judge who was going to end abortion!
The people in the Republican party rely on Trump voters to turn up in November to keep them in congress. They can't say bad things about Trump that the voters might take the wrong way.
Now the game is up. The November election will be a disaster. People supporting Trump are starting to give up on him. He has served his purpose and the voters can still support anti-abortion, low taxes and all the rest of the Republican issues. They will even vote for their republican senators and congressmen. They just need to have this bozo move out of the way.
It was probably inevitable. A tweeting president does not have the restraint to lead the free world for more than a year and a half.
What are they going to do? Only feeble comments from Marco Rubio, Cruz, McConnel and the rest have been heard. Trey Gowdy even went as far as saying that the hacking "has to be explained" to Trump as he does not understand it well enough. The news will hash this thing fora few weeks and press on with Mueller. Trump is no use to any Republicans now (except in the pig farm district in Iowa), so they are all going to polish up pre-Trump era speeches and go on with their campaigns.
The leader of the free world has not sorted out what happened in his own campaign in 2016. He does not even want to make an effort, as any finding will make him illegitimate, whether he knew any details or not.
Trump handlers in the White House are the only ones at this point that have a plan: Trump will never talk to Mueller.
Going into Helsinki, the weak minded leader had no clue he was going to end his career there. He actually thought he could pull off the stunt.
