Trump's a coward in denial. His life's always been about living high on the hog and being a fancy New York fat cat going to social functions showing off his bought wife etc.
"Trump, for his part, dismissed the idea that Russia was testing him"... This puts our country in danger and no matter what your political affiliation, this is a universal truth
This mindset is the same kind of mindset that will say "it was an accident" when Putin blows our jet out of the air or sinks a ship
