Is this the Commander in Chief you voted for, or has he turned out to be something very different to your expectations?

Sam Harris weighs in:
That was a mortifying spectacle in the Oval Office today. We witnessed President Trump acting like a handmaiden to a Russian dictator, while processing everything—US foreign policy, world history, the fate of millions—through the lens of his own grandiosity, pettiness, and personal grievances. Trump is siding with a man who has all but threatened us with nuclear annihilation over our support for an independent Ukraine. Putin's troops have routinely subjected Ukrainian POWs to torture. They have stolen tens of thousands of Ukrainian children and repatriated them to Russia. And we now have President and Vice President who blame the victims for all the misery and death that has been imposed on them (and for not saying “thank you” when they do this). Where do we go to get our country's moral stature back?

Handmaidens to Russian dictators don't put a show like that on live TV.
As Mr. Trump said, during the mortifying spectacle, he wanted the American people to see that.
Mr. Trump welcomes you all to the USA.

I would not have expected Trump to back down from the push-back from Zelensky.
I really wish Zelensky had been more deferential. While the Trump haters will be indulging in their orgy of blaming Trump for all of this, Zelensky made some very obvious choices, and now we will watch the consequences.

Sam's not here to defend himself, so I am honor bound not to respond.

Out of curiosity, where did you find that? Do you subscribe to his substack?

It's clear that Putin ordered Trump to have this meeting out in the open. He's constantly testing Trump's allegiance. There's got to be something bigger than pee pee tapes that he's holding over his head.

No deal. No meal. Come back when you're serious.

That’s probably too generous.
I’m afraid the plain truth is that Trump is obsequious to Putin simply because he wants to be.
