It has been explained to me here that the reason Trump's fans are fine with what he did at the press conference with Putin is because they feel our intelligence apparatus is corrupt and treasonous.
Well, holy shit. At least we have an explanation for what Trump did.
It would actually make sense. Trump gets info on his "base" directly from Hannity, who (along with Levin and Limbaugh and the internet) plants this stuff in their heads. Since playing to his base is his top priority, Trump then acts accordingly. He knows his base is convinced that everyone is out to get them, so he says what he needs to say.
That's good to know. I guess.

Yep - DJT's entire strategery at this point seems to be to placating the base. It's a mistake of course, because there just aren't enough members in that club to reelect him. But I strongly suspect a secondary issue: Putin is holding something big as in REALLY YUUUGE over his puppet.
