That Clown continues to place his proven defective judgment ahead of the vast knowledge and information gathering base of the US intelligence community. The US is now a country being ridiculed by countries that were considered solid allies just a year ago.
The Orange Wonder is the driving force behind this downturn and will take many years to repair all the damage to our leadership among Nations and standing in the world community if the Idiot-in-Chief is dumped right now. If left in place to fester, the damage could extend to a point beyond repair in all cases and prolonged.
Here is a snippet from a WAPO article. Read the entire article to get the full dose of this one facet of the Clown's instability and the danger posed!
Doubting the
intelligence, Trump
pursues Putin and
leaves a Russian
threat unchecked

"Told that members of his incoming Cabinet had already publicly backed the intelligence report on Russia, Trump shot back, “So what?” Admitting that the Kremlin had hacked Democratic Party emails, he said, was a “trap.”
As Trump addressed journalists on Jan. 11 in the lobby of Trump Tower, he came as close as he ever would to grudging acceptance. “As far as hacking, I think it was Russia,” he said, adding that “we also get hacked by other countries and other people.”
As hedged as those words were, Trump regretted them almost immediately. “It’s not me,” he said to aides afterward. “It wasn’t right.”
Nearly a year into his presidency, Trump continues to reject the evidence that Russia waged an assault on a pillar of American democracy and supported his run for the White House.
The result is without obvious parallel in U.S. history, a situation in which the personal insecurities of the president — and his refusal to accept what even many in his administration regard as objective reality — have impaired the government’s response to a national security threat. The repercussions radiate across the government.
Rather than search for ways to deter Kremlin attacks or safeguard U.S. elections, Trump has waged his own campaign to discredit the case that Russia poses any threat and he has resisted or attempted to roll back efforts to hold Moscow to account." [Emphasis Added]
