Maybe he learned from his last open air meeting at Mar-a-Lago and won't repeat that. Or maybe he will because that's extra press coverage about him and he just likes being the center of attention.

Trump has a very good brain, he's assured me personally that this is true, so international crises are going to be trivial for him to handle. He'll just make the best deal and make America great again.

With how caught up he is trying to investigate the rest of the government, I can almost see Trump ignoring this development.

So here's the real question: is this the worst case scenario, or the best?

Well yeah I mean when you are acting against your own country's best interests what do you expect?

Also, I question the underlying assumption (correct me if I am wrong) that the Russians were somehow "caught", as in, they wanted to scoot Trump into the WH without getting noticed. Presumably the Russians are smart enough to know when they're being monitored by the US IC. The people who aren't smart enough are Team Trump. More on that shortly-

Russia is already vilified, especially in the last few years. They are so good at navigating fine lines re: reprisals from other states. Knowing that they have little to lose, doesn't it make more sense that Russia's sloppiness is deliberate, here?

Russia could easily turn their own negativity into a weapon by unilaterally hacking & leaking stuff, and then colluding with (or even just meeting with) Team Trump affiliates knowing how bad it would look down the road, knowing the US IC would be observing, and knowing that it would only take a little bit of drama for leaks on that revelation to begin. Now everyone has been undermined. Is Russia just trying to get us so hosed up with ourselves that we stop giving them a hard time?

Conspiracy theory: if this is a repeat of the Crimea model, then what is it that Russia is stealing before our eyes?

Either scenario is a win for Russia. They either get a puppet, or Trump gets impeached but not before throwing our country into chaos.

Basically, the US has effectively penetrated and disrupted North Korea's missile program by hacking and sabotaging avionics and other components crucial to flight and
navigation.

How funny would it be if it was the US testing just how much control we have over their program.

We've collectively forgotten what utter children some of our previous presidents were. Bush Sr.:

"President Bush declared today that he never, ever, wants to see another sprig of broccoli on his plate, whether he is on Air Force One or at the White House or anywhere else in the land.

''I do not like broccoli,'' the President said, responding to queries about a broccoli ban he has imposed aboard Air Force One, first reported this week in U.S. News and World Report. ''And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States, and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli!''"

Not wanting broccoli isn't comparable to Trump's constant meltdowns and fuckery.

The broccoli story is actually kind of funny/humanizing, though a Bad Opinion about broccoli.

From what I'm reading, even Donnie's *allies* are calling him a petulant man-child that must be praised constantly, or only presented with good news, or he self-destructs.

Daniel Dale @ddale8: This reads like a story about a troubled pre-teen. Trump was happy, then mad, then yelled at people, then left in a huff, and then | The Post reports here that Reince Priebus spent an hour lying to reporters to convince them Trump didn't actually flip out on his staff.
