Mental decline--or America's president being beholden to Russia, whose interference in our elections helped seal his ascent to the presidency?
Scott HortonUS intel tells Trump that Russia and China are both supporting Iranian operations against US forces. Trump refuses to believe them because both Xi and Putin assured him they wouldn't do that. More evidence of this man's precipitous mental decline.
