All anyone with any sliver of integrity has to do to see the truth of the charge that Trump is Putin’s lap dog is look at him and listen to him and see how he behaves whenever the subject of Putin comes up. He’s somewhere between a cringing courtier and a schoolgirl with a crush, and it’s so obvious and blatant that it’s creepy. And as with so many things regarding Trump, all anyone has to do is open their eyes to see it and their minds to accept it.
