President under active investigation for colluding with Russia allowed to negotiate with NK dictator

...allowed to steer America's foreign policy in the direction of normalizing relations with yet another barbaric megalomaniac.

It's frightening just how easily the press, pols, and other observers are settling into legitimizing this bizarre deconstruction of decades of resolve against these national and world security threats by such an openly compromised U.S. president.

It's extremely unsettling to see the two autocratic leaders meeting in private for nearly an hour. If there is some sort of subversive purpose to Trump's eager embrace of Russia and North Korea, we're already so deep into the con that there's no easy way back.

What happens to the nation when the facilitator of this coddling of these major adversaries is found to have been illegally colluding with one of them in the effort leading up to his election? What position is America really in tonight, with our felonious president acceding to such a compromised and illegitimate union with unrepentant enemies of America?

...it's just straight collusion.

He regularly phones Putin in private, and he's now 'touchy, feely' pals with Un. NONE of these autocrats can be trusted, not even their words. Especially their words.
