Did we expect president to call Putin a liar on global TV?

President Trump bungled the Helsinki press conference. Of that there is no question. But were his comments treasonous, as former CIA chief John Brennan said? Or was it, as John McCain thundered, “one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory?"

Trump’s critics responded with customary vitriol and excess, attacking the president in such extreme terms that his supporters only dig in even deeper. Democrats and never-Trumpers cannot help themselves; over the past two years, the public has grown weary of the non-stop, five-alarm fires, and they have tuned out.

To be sure, President Trump missed an opportunity to publicly and sternly warn Russian President Vladimir Putin against interfering in future U.S. elections. Just as importantly, he never articulated why it was crucial to reset relations with Russia, as every preceding administration has tried to do. He failed to describe the many arenas in which the two countries could work together.

But really, did anyone really expect him to declare the Russian leader a liar on global TV? What would have been the point of traveling to Helsinki and arranging a summit between the world’s two biggest nuclear powers, only to scuttle the chance at a new and improved relationship?

  2. Of course not! With all of Trump's accomplishments as a private citizen and now as President, to be judged and criticized by people with far less credentials must be very frustrating for him. He has thicker skin and a greater love for our Country than the average person that is for darn sure!

  3. No, he should just wait and ssy it behind his back like the big tough guy he is:

    "I let him know we can't have this. We're not going to have it. And that's the way it's going to be,"

  4. It doesn't matter what President Trump does, he could find the cure for cancer and the leftist MSM would still criticize him. They are blinded by hatred,it's a shame they are so stupid.
