The Trump Doctrine Is Sicker and More Terrifying Than Ever
Its whatever oozes out of his brain at any given moment, and this week may already constitute the most gob-smacking series of oozes in his presidency.

Youve heard of the Truman Doctrine. The Reagan Doctrine. The Bush Doctrine. The Powell Doctrine. The Obama Doctrine. Maybe you liked them, maybe you didnt. But they existed, and you could roughly define what they were.
But what in the world is the Trump Doctrine? Its whatever oozes out of his brain at any given moment, and this week may already constitute the most gob-smacking series of oozes in his presidency. I know thats a big claim, but seriously. We all should, even though its shocking and potentially dangerous to the world, savor this moment in a way. Its not often we get to see any public person, let alone the president of the United States, melt down like this in front of our eyes.
First: Russia back in the G8? Hey, why not! It was Barack Obamas fault in the first place! Yes, maybe the Russians shot down a commercial airliner, killing 300 people. And maybe they invaded a sovereign countrywhere theyre still at war, by the way, which they always denied perpetrating. And maybe the entire rest of the G8 agreed that Russia had to go.
But Obama did it, and if Obama did it, it has to be undone. And what better time than right after a mysterious nuclear explosion that Russia says is none of the worlds business?
I love to imagine Vladimir Putins reaction when he hears something like this. Do you think this murderer and kleptocrat and enemy of democracy ever dared to imagine that the president of the United States of America would be his biggest idiot apologist? He and his cronies must sit around the Kremlin laughing about it every day.
Oh, and wait. The Soviet Union became Russia because of Afghanistan? If Trump has ever heard the words perestroika and glasnost, he probably thinks they have something to do with Moscow models urinating.
Second, we have the Denmark cancellation. ...................................................
