Trump’s Russia troubles are a win for war hawks
For many, President Trump’s press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin Monday was unforgivable. In it, Trump called into question the integrity of his own intelligence agencies, while giving credence to the feigned innocence of the Russian state, despite evidence that it interfered with the 2016 election.
How is Trump spinning the conference? As a step toward world peace, of course. “I would rather take a political risk in pursuit of peace than to risk peace in pursuit of politics,” he said while standing next to Putin.
