2. Interesting to reconsider after the summit...

This was posted before the summit.
Now, after, there is a groundswell of speculation that Putin definitely has something on Trump.
And yet very few of the pundits sees to the obvious point made in this article: what Putin may well have on Trump is incontrovertible evidence of collusion.
if anyone on Trump's team was in contact with Russia, it is a certainty that Putin knows about.
Indeed, Trump may be terrified that Putin has more evidence of collusion that even Trump is aware of.
Putin knows more about how much collusion there was than Trump and Mueller combined.
And Putin's agents no doubt collected video and audio evidence of that collusion. Putin could bring Trump's presidency to an end in ten minutes.
There doesn't have to be anything else -- no financial issues, debt, anything.
All Donald Trump is trying to do now is avoid jail for him and anyone in his family.
If he is no longer president, he can't control that.
So he is simultaneously desperate to hold onto power, and desperate to please Putin so that Putin won't expose the collusion.
And that's what we are witnessing.
