This is deflection of his government who cannot get anything done . Healthcare a disaster , tax reform don't bet on it , oh how about that wall forget about it and infrastructure will never be supported by the GOP house. Oh yes he got a seat on the Supremes by the GOP cheating Garland and changing the rules in the middle of the game. 
Oh and many think the Russian case is out of the news but you can be sure this case has just started and no question that where there is a lot of smoke there is fire. 
So the Americans have a disaster in the White House and it is just a matter of time before his time will be over.
