Trump and his legal advisors have a great sense of humor and have a very low opinion of the intelligence of the others.

An outrageous speech from Trump. He is not giving up any of his business interests or putting anything into a blind trust. He has an unhealthy - for the U.S.- connection with Putin. Trump is no match for Putin.

I don't know about the more salacious allegations about Trump but you can bet your last dollar that Putin's government has dirt on Trump. They will use it when they need to.

I thought he did quite well. I really wasn't expecting him to be that controlled.
The unsubstantiated allegations are just that.
Mr Trump might not be in Putins league politically but he is putting in place a strong team around him. In building up his multi-billion property Empire, he will have learned when to listen to good advice.

Nothing wrong in being friends with Russia if it help to calm things down a bit,

besides I think Russia is more of a side show, I think China is the one who should worry and fear Trump,

one predicts a trade war with China is inevitable and may well rag us in as well
according to the daily politics show this morning.

Still, we will all find out soon, will we not.

Marco, orange is from his orangutan parents, just ask Bill Maher, Trump tried suing him over that accusation, but he failed to prove otherwise by not showing his birth certificate, so they tossed the lawsuit.

For all the non-Americans. The last time the GOP had all three branches........1928......and the fun times followed.
