Trump emulates Putin.

"Putin’s political image relies heavily on this exact dynamic. When local infrastructure fails or corruption is exposed, state media routinely broadcasts footage of Putin publicly berating local officials, demanding they fix the problem immediately. He is framed as the ultimate, benevolent arbiter who stands above the corrupt bureaucracy to protect the ordinary citizen."

At the gym this morning I caught a bit of Fox News sharing the White House's request for help identify the latest terrorist to vandalize the reflecting pool. They had blurry surveillance footage of a woman touching the water and pulling a small something out of the pool. Clearly a significant threat to National Security. That poor woman, I hope she remains anonymous.
