Excerpt:
"Call it Amerika First, the final and most insidious perversion of Donald Trumps promise. In this case, the promise to place America First is intentionally undermined by secret conversations intended to keep America in the dark about private negotiations with a rival who has demonstrated their intent to sabotage our democracy. America first? Not exactly. The Trump team wants to give information to the Russians first, and keep it from Americans as long as possible. Right now the Trump White House looks like floating pond scum obscuring the view, making sure Amerika is the last to know."

(4,192 posts)It's already clear that this current government cannot be trusted with sensitive information. And only tRump and the republicans are to blame for that.
It is incredible the damage that Trump has done to relationships with our best allies. After all the work Obama/Clinton did to repair the damage of Bush!

(778 posts)I totally agree that this administration cannot be trusted with sensitive information... but what I really want to know is what Jared Kushner felt he needed a private, secret back-channel for? The contention that Flynn wanted a direct and private line to talk to military counterparts in Russia prior to the inauguration is limp... why did that desire have to be a secret from our own government?
