As with a rotting fish, the stench from President Donald Trump's execrable performance in Helsinki only grows more putrid with the passage of time. The leader of the sole superpower was simpering and submissive in the face of a murderous dictator's "strong and powerful" lies.
It is ludicrous to pretend that changing "would" into "wouldn't" might have changed Trump's message, which included a conspiratorial rant about the FBI and not a word of specific censure of Russian crimes. Having committed a "Kinsley gaffe" (i.e., saying what he really thought), the president couldn't bring himself to convincingly read the "clarification" concocted by some over-clever spinmeister.
