In English or Russian?

From WAPO: , Trump is allowing the Russia scandal to become not an extended nightmare but a permanent one. And all the Twitter tantrums in the world won’t make it go away.

“You can see the weight of the burden on the shoulders of the president.”

“One time he came in and said, ‘All right, what’s the bad news this morning?’ ” he continued. “You can see the weight of the burden on the shoulders of the president.”

Well, he should be pleased - the bad news is about him, after all.

As for Kushner’s little pre-briefing - that shit has got to stop instanter!

Well obviously Putin is not satisfied with the coloring books that Trump gets for his briefings. Jared can keep him updated with more detailed information. (That back-channel is very helpful for this kind of thing.)
