Eager for recognition and greedy for profit, but blind to Putin's true intentions and lacking any understanding of America's strategic interests in Europe, Trump has fallen into Putin's trap like a ravenous raccoon.

German Chancellor Merz handled his first face-to-face encounter with Trump in the Oval Office pretty well. Just sitting through Trump's erratic monologues with a straight face is quite an accomplishment.
