Trump claims that immigration is destroying Europe: "I think they better watch themselves because you are changing culture, you are changing a lot of things."
Ex-U.S. Amb. to NATO Nicholas Burns: "You saw the real Donald Trump this morning ... when he said, 'you're changing the culture through immigration.' That's code word for white supremacists. That's code word for keeping people of color and other diverse backgrounds out."
Strange line in Trump's strange presser: "If you look at what I've done, compared to what other people have done 160 days in, there's nobody even close."

Schumer: "Trump should cancel his meeting with Putin until Russia takes demonstrable and transparent steps to prove that they won't interfere in future elections. Glad-handing with Vladimir Putin on the heels of these indictments would be an insult to our democracy."
Jack Reed: "In light of this stunning indictment by the Justice Department that these Russian conspirators attacked our democracy and were communicating with Americans to interfere in our election, President Trump should immediately cancel his meeting with Vladimir Putin."
A reminder: Obama cancelled a summit with Putin planned for September 2013 in Moscow after Putin granted Snowden asylum.
