OPINION: Five Ways President Trump Is Literally Saving The World
According to the chattering class, the “deep state,” the “intelligence community” (yeah, some of these are going to overlap), the establishment media, neocons, Trump-haters, beltway elites, and liberals of every conceivable stripe (see?), President Trump’s refusal to cold-cock Valadimir Putin for election meddling right there at the podium in Helsinki amounts to the type of treason that could
