In 13 months in office, Mr. Trump has made little if any public effort to rally the nation to confront Moscow for its intrusion or to defend democratic institutions against continued disruption. His administration has at times called out Russia or taken action, and even Mr. Trump?s national security adviser, speaking in Germany on Saturday, called evidence of Russian meddling ?incontrovertible.? But the administration has been left to respond without the president?s leadership.
?It is astonishing to me that a president of the United States would take this so lightly or see it purely through the prism of domestic partisanship,? said Daniel Fried, a career diplomat under presidents of both parties who is now at the Atlantic Council. He said it invariably raised questions about whether Mr. Trump had something to hide. ?I have no evidence that he?s deliberately pulling his punches because he has to, but I can?t dismiss it. No president has raised those kinds of questions.?

President Trump on Saturday blamed Democrats for failing to act to strengthen gun restrictions under the Obama administration, accusing them of using the issue as a political talking point.

Trump does $3.9 BILLION deal for two new Boeing Air Force One 747s and claims he saved $1.4bn by threatening to cancel it (but analysts say there's no evidence of a discount)
Pentagon will order two Boeing 747-8s to replace the existing 747-200s which are used to transport the president in $3.9 billion foxed-cost deal
Trump had threatened to cancel the order previously claiming costs were too high but White House claimed he got $1.4 billion discount
U.S. aerospace analyst Richard Aboulafia said it was 'political theater ' and added: 'There's no evidence of a discount.':mj07:
Planes are designed to be an airborne White House able to fly in worst-case security scenarios, such as nuclear war

The U.S. response to Russian meddling and disinformation campaigns has not been strong enough to deter Moscow's activities, a top intelligence official said Tuesday.
'I believe that President Putin has clearly come to the conclusion that there's little price to pay and that therefore, "I can continue this activity,"' Adm. Mike Rogers told Congress. 'Clearly what we have done hasn't been enough.'
Rogers, director of both the U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency, said he's taken steps to respond to the threat, but that neither President Trump nor Defense Secretary James Mattis has granted him any additional authorities to counter Russian efforts to sow discord in the United States.

lets think about this for less than a minute.
why would Trumpit not give him authorization to counter Russia ?
That would be too much like admitting that it went on.
what a buffoon

The Moscow event held great potential for Trump to score in Russia. Now he was partnering with a Russian billionaire connected to other oligarchs and favored by Putin. (Trump already had a controversial venture under way in Baku, where he was developing a hotel with the son of the transportation minister of the corrupt regime. This project would soon founder.) ?For Trump, this Miss Universe event was all about expanding the Trump Organization brand and getting his names on buildings,? a Miss Universe associate recalled.
And anyone who wanted to do big deals in Russia ? especially an American ? could only do so if Putin was keen on it. ?We all knew that the event was approved by Putin,? a Miss Universe official later said. ?You can?t pull off something like this in Russia unless Putin says it?s OK.? Trump would only be making money in Russia because Putin was permitting him to do so.
Immediately, the contest was beset by controversy. A few days before the announcement in Las Vegas, the Russian Duma had passed a law that made it illegal to expose children to information about homosexuality. The new antigay measure was the latest move by Putin to appeal to the conservative Orthodox Church and ultranationalist forces. It came amid a disturbing rise in antigay violence throughout Russia. In the southern city of Volgograd a few weeks earlier, a gay man?s naked body was found in a courtyard, his skull smashed, his genitals scarred by beer bottles. The atmosphere was ?ugly and brutal,? a U.S. diplomat who then served in Moscow later said. ?There would be these hooligans who would go after gay people in bars and beat them up. There was a pretty vicious cam*paign against the LGBT community.?
Human rights and gay rights advocates in Russia and around the world denounced the new law. Vodka boycotts were launched. There was a push to relocate the Winter Olympics, scheduled to be held the following year in Sochi, Russia. In the United States, the Human Rights Campaign called on Trump and the Miss Uni*verse Organization to move the event out of Russia, noting that under the new law a contestant could be prosecuted if she were to voice support for gay rights.
The uproar over the Russian antigay act confronted Trump with a dilemma ? how to distance himself from the law without jeopardizing his big Russia play. The Miss Universe Organization issued a statement asserting that it ?believes in equality for all indi*viduals.? That didn?t stop the protests. Bravo talk show host Andy Cohen and entertainment reporter Giuliana Rancic, who had pre*viously co-hosted the pageant, quit the show. Miss Universe officials scrambled and found replacements: Thomas Roberts, an openly gay MSNBC anchor, and former Spice Girl Mel B.

President Donald Trump has accepted North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un's dramatic offer to meet, and he'll do it by May, a South Korean official said Thursday evening.
South Korea's national security adviser Chung Eui-yong told U.S. press that the goal of the face-to-face talk is to achieve permanent denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula.
Chung did not say where the meeting would take place.
Kim sent a personal letter to the U.S. president that was delivered Thursday.
The message was passed to the White House through a South Korean delegation which held their own talks with the dictator this week.
In return, Kim is offering to suspend his nuclear missile testing program, Chung told White House officials before he briefed press from the building's North Lawn.

"Our national debt reached a staggering $21 trillion today, having grown by $1 trillion in just the past six months," he said. "Worse yet, this unfortunate milestone has only just begun to include the effects of the recent fiscally irresponsible tax and spending legislation, which added more debt on top of an already unsustainable trajectory."

Specifically, how Trump would always lie about his Apprentice ratings when they faltered later in the show?s run, owing to the fact people would always believe anything he said.
?He?s been saying number one forever. Finally I had enough,? Bush explained, noting how he would frequently interview Trump on-camera for NBC. ?I said, Wait a minute, Donald, you haven?t been number one in five or four years, not in any category, not in any demo. He goes, Well, did you see last Thursday? Last Thursday, 18-49, last five minutes! And I?m like, No, I don?t know that stat. He?s like, I told you. And later, when the camera are off, he says, Billy, look, you just tell them and they believe it. That?s it. They just do. Ah, okay. And from that point forward Access Hollywood was always number one, even if we were actually number two.?
Bush also clarified that he and Trump haven?t spoken in years.

John McCain criticized President Donald Trump for congratulating Russian President Vladimir Putin on his reelection.
"An American president does not lead the free world by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections," the GOP senator said.
Russia held presidential elections over the weekend, but there have been reports of ballot-stuffing.
Republican Sen. John McCain on Tuesday criticized US President Donald Trump for congratulating Vladimir Putin on being reelected as president of Russia.
"An American president does not lead the free world by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections," the veteran GOP senator from Arizona said in a statement.
On Sunday, Putin won more than 75% of the vote in Russia's presidential election, securing him at least another six years in power. There have been allegations of ballot-stuffing during the election, and election monitors were harassed and intimidated in the run-up to the vote.
The Economist's Democracy Index categorizes the country as an "authoritarian regime," noting that "the climate for free expression in Russia has become increasingly inhospitable."
On Tuesday, Trump spoke to Putin via phone and congratulated him on the win as well as discussing other subjects.
"President Trump has insulted every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election to determine their country's future, including the countless Russian patriots who have risked so much to protest and resist Putin's regime," McCain said.

In an old blog under Mark Conditt's name, started apparently as part of a community college class assignment, the author wrote in 2012 that he was conservative but "not that politically inclined." He wrote posts opposing abortion, favoring the death penalty and arguing that gay marriage should be illegal.
"I view myself as a conservative, but I don't think I have enough information to defend my stance as well as it should be defended," read the blog's biography page. "The reasons I am taking this class is because I want to understand the US government, and I hope that it will help me clarify my stance, and then defend it."

Washington (CNN)CNN commentator and former Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Rick Santorum on Sunday suggested students protesting for gun control legislation would be better served by taking CPR classes and preparing for active shooter scenarios.
"How about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that when there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that," Santorum said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Santorum's comments came a day after protesters assembled at March for Our Lives events in Washington and across the country to demand gun control legislation in the wake of the deadly school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
Santorum dismissed the usefulness of "phony gun laws" and appeared to call on students and others to improve their communities and to prepare to respond to further shootings instead of calling for new laws.
"
"I want him focused on algebra and other stuff," Jones said. "If his main way to survive high school is learning CPR so when his friends get shot ... that to me, we've gone too far. I'm proud of these kids. I know you're proud of these kids too."
Santorum's comments prompted a statement from Everytown for Gun Safety program manager Erica Lafferty, whose mother was shot and killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
The statement read: "Rick Santorum's words are an insult to the kids of Parkland, my family and to the countless others who have had loved ones taken by gun violence. My mother was killed while protecting her students at Sandy Hook School. For anyone to suggest that the solution to gun violence is for kids to learn CPR is outrageous, and indicative of the NRA's desire to do or say anything except strengthen America's weak gun laws."

One reason Mr. Dowd quit was that, against his advice, Mr. Trump was insistent that he wanted to answer questions under oath from [special counsel Robert S. Mueller III], believing that it would help clear him.
Mr. Dowd had concluded that there was no upside and that the president, who often does not tell the truth, could increase his legal exposure if his answers were not accurate.
