That didn’t take long. Donald Trump met with his puppet master Vladimir Putin today, and it went about as one would have expected. After their meeting, Russia announced that Russia didn’t hack the election, and then the Trump administration parroted the line. But even as Russia continues to humiliate America by pulling the puppet strings of the traitor it installed in the Oval Office, the Russian government can’t help but make fun of him.

Russian government adviser Sergei Markov was so giddy at the prospect of his government having total control over Donald Trump that he called up the American media just to brag about it. He told the Daily Beast that “Putin is a much more powerful Alpha male than Trump” (link). Markov went on to explain, of course, that Trump can become less of weakling if he continues to remain under Putin’s thumb. And so this is where we’re at now.

Russia has such complete and total control over Donald Trump that it can’t help but brag about it. And Trump is either too sheltered to even hear about it when Russia makes fun of him in the mainstream American press, or he’s too addle-brained to understand that Russia is openly taunting him. If this were the plot of a movie, the audience would getting up and walking out by now because it would be too over the top to be believable. And yet here in the real world, we’re stuck with it for at least a little bit longer.

The Republican majority in Congress is still trying to milk a little more mileage out of Donald Trump’s sinking ship. The GOP knows that if and when Trump’s approval rating drops below a certain point, it’ll have to throw him overboard to avoid getting totally wiped out in the midterms. We’ll see what this embarrassing week does to Trump’s faltering approval, and if we finally see action – or if the Republican Party decides to keep sinking with him for awhile longer.
