Nick Wadhams:

Secretary of State Michael Pompeo will find one of his rare appearances on Capitol Hill rough going today as he seeks to soothe the ire of senators exasperated by President Donald Trump's strategy on everything from Russia and NATO to North Korea. As bipartisan fury over Trump's summit with Vladimir Putin last week reverberates in Washington, Pompeo will hear from senators demanding to know what happened during the president's one-on-one meeting with the Russian president, what Trump meant when he called the European Union a "foe" and whether the U.S. is being duped again by North Korea.

Dan Vallone: The importance of corralling Trump

If present trends continue, when historians write about the proximate cause for America's, and the world's, descent into a violent, volatile state of affairs in the aftermath of the 2016 elections, they will point not to a specific act of aggression or political miscalculation, but to the deafening and tragic silence of elected officials who buried their heads while an egomaniacal president subverted America's interests for his own self-aggrandizement At the recent summit in Helsinki, President Donald Trump willingly, knowingly and with the eyes of the world watching praised Russian President Vladimir Putin repeatedly while attacking other Americans, going so far as to indicate he trusts Putin more than he does the American intelligence agencies.

Trump’s blindness to Russia proves he is woefully unprepared to be president

After Helsinki, there can be little doubt that Donald J. Trump acts more and more like an agent of Russia or heavily beholden to Russian interests. What else can any objective person conclude after the latest basically pro-Russian and anti-American comments from the president in which he preferred Russia's denial of interference in the 2016 election to the unanimous conclusion of all U.S. intelligence agencies ? Once again, Trump proves he is woefully unprepared to be president, master of the big lie, and ignorant of history and reality.
