The president of the United States is parroting Kremlin propaganda.

Putin must be thrilled.

Looks like Trump is getting played.

The administration is basically telling foreign agents to go nuts.

Was this a case study of Trump’s mastery in “the art of the deal,” as some Republicans claim?

Will Hamas take Phase 2 of the ceasefire seriously if this is what the American president has in mind for Phase 3?

This agency is the principal instrument for U.S. “soft power.”

Members of both parties expressed serious reservations.

The president seems to be unaware of a few pertinent facts.

I covered the 1989 fight over George H.W. Bush's secretary of defense nominee. It feels awfully familiar.
