‘Can the president be put on administrative leave?’ the left wonders

By Bria Felicien
July 23, 2018

1. After Helsinki, can the president be put on administrative leave?

From The Hill: "President Donald Trump's performance in Helsinki with Russian President Vladimir Putin remains Topic A in conversations. And it should."

2. Trump's rude he-man act is catnip to his fans. They don't care that he's putty for Putin.

From USA TODAY: "Donald Trump betrayed the U.S. in Helsinki, but his party and fans don't care. What's so studly about standing up to friends and buttering up bullies?"

3. Is Trump a danger or just 'incompetent' and a 'buffoon'?

From CNN: "Brushing aside a majority of the President's critics as showing signs of paranoia misses the new political reality of the Trump administration."
