Post-Helsinki Thoughts

Lots of folks are upset that President Trump said some off-the-wall stuff following his Helsinki meeting with Russian President Putin. Honestly, Trump stepped on his d**k with some of that stream-of-consciousness blather.

Whether in the long run the summit will turn out to be a winner or a loser for the U.S. remains to be seen. Trump thinks it will be okay. Others disagree, but he, they and we are all "in the moment."

I think we can wait awhile to make those judgments. Hindsight is usually more accurate in such matters. Let's agree that Trump could have spoken with more circumspection, and move on to other matters.
