Whoever decided that it would be a good idea to try to upstage the impeachment hearings with a press event with a foreign autocrat who has just attacked an American ally and who is directly responsible for serial human rights abuses, who is contemptuous of democracy...
...and of this president, who is collaborating closely with American enemies and rivals undermining the NATO alliance and the stability of the Middle East, who just with Trump gave the biggest gift to ISIS that it has received since its founding...
..and who represents a country w/which Trump has numerous, compromising financial ties (and which had dubious ties to many on team Trump including former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn)...whoever thought that was a good idea, must be a very bad, not very smart president.
