You are right, I happen to think neither Trump, Kushner, or Ivanka can be trusted not to work banana republic deals like Kushner did when he pressured Qatar into a loan on an "investment" that was way over leveraged to where Qatar was right to refuse it twice before being pressured by political blockades with the Saudi's. Or providing the Prince with intelligence on those allied with the Prince in succession for a c**p on the prince apparent.

Yes, Trump and any of the people involved in state business should have envoys of the ambassadors and state officials involved.

The topic has come up, that there are protocols for p**********l discussions with foreign entities, especially adversaries. When Trump was criticized early on for insisting on secrecy, the only defense in his favor was that Obama talked to Putin alone for a few minutes so it was okay.

There are dozens of good reasons why every minute of discussions between the president and adversarial leaders need to be 100% monitored and t***scribed, which they are supposed to be. This prevents a foreign leader from claiming our president said something he did not, promises, commitments, threats, bribes, wh**ever, he needs witnesses.

Trump has had multiple conversations with Putin that he didn't even disclose, we have no idea what was said. Then we have found out about them through Russian press, which is Putin's propaganda machine, Putin says what he wants to say. Trump says conversations were meaningless when we find out about one, then the Russian press makes claims about conversations and involvements that are definitely more than nothing. We can assume that conversations with dictators are conversations with liars who could easily be believed to lie about what the president says. But then we have a president that quite frankly can't be believed for a second when he tries to relay his side of a conversation, which leaves us with a dire need for 100% monitored conversations.

Now we have a whistle blower complaint that is marked urgent, must be dealt with as soon as possible. National security is not a time for obstructing serious complaints that involve national security, disturbing promises made. It is ridiculous to think someone is going to jeopardize their career over something silly, and impossible to believe that the Intelligence Inspector General is going to validate something as urgent that is not. Laws are there for a reason, and those involving national security and the intelligence community are more serious than most.

Trump also understands something you apparently don't: Russia has a lot of influence in the Middle East and west Asia, both potential flashpoints for war that could suck in the rest of the world.

Cooperation, rather than all-out enmity with Russia could prevent a lot of preventable violence.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Trump's foreign policy as regards Putin has had a lot more negative effect on Russia's economy than Obama's ever did, including Trump's push to curtail the dependency of Europe on Russian oil.

It was also the "foreign policy" of B. Hussein Obama and Hillary the Walking Crime Wave® that cost Ukraine the Crimea, among other things.

Sorry, pal, it's a little too soon to start this bit of revisionist history you are offering up. Perhaps if you wait about 20 more years, somebody will believe it.

Sooner or later the t***h will prevail the trunks were growing broke after one bad deal after another Trump not being the sharpest tack in the Box. Trump was loser until you discovered money laundering. That's when the money started to flow in great quantities into the Trump family coffers. Seems they could buy a condo for a million dollars in a couple of weeks later sell it to a Russian or three or four million these were amazing real estate people.
Just before Justice Kennedy announced his retirement Trump jr Was given a billion dollar loan buy a big German Bank Long suspected money laundering and lo and behold Justice Kennedy's son was the loan officer in that bank I know it's just a coincidence.
I believed the Russians have a whole list of things that could topple the Trump Empire and calls Trump presidency to come to a screeching halt that's why it's dangerous!
