I have long believed that Putin owns Trump; every development in this sordid business seems to point to and support that proposition. I believe that sooner or later, we'll know the whole of it. We can only hope and pray that it won't be too late. I think I was probably as opposed to Trump over the past 18 months as anyone posting on this board -- but I've been stunned by how much damage he's done and how quickly he's done it. Trump's contempt for the American people, for their government, laws and institutions is breathtaking. I get up every morning with a renewed sense of outrage that this man is president.
Thank you very much for your kind words. As you know, I've had some health problems, including a recent hospitalization. (I'm doing well now.) This experience, especially as the bills continue to arrive, have renewed my understanding of what's at stake during these difficult days for our country, and of how dangerous this president is. We must not ever be complacent about it.
