He’s such a fool. Here he is, our president, shaking hands with the Russian ambassador before a Russian photographer in the oval office with no American reporter or photographer in the room. (Note the copyright. Was there was a security sweep afterward? We don’t know.) This on the day after he fired the director of the FBI.

What more do we need to know? We have what the Russians are calling a polezni durak, a useful fool, for our president.

There are those among the public who say “Russia is our friend.” We promised on this site not to engage in name calling, but I would suggest that the Russians would call him and them polezniye duraki.
