Letter: Cowardice before the enemy

After his shameful display of cowardice at the Helsinki summit news conference, it must be obvious to even the most die-hard Trump supporter that this president is conflicted and controlled by a foreign power, namely Russia.

When he was given the chance to confront Russia for the assault on our democracy he could only muster a sniveling, weak and rambling blather in front of the whole world about how it couldn’t be Russia. He went against the findings of his own intelligence services that state it is a fact that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and that interference was directed to help Trump get elected.

The only thing that has not been proven yet is if his campaign was complicit in working with the Russian state, but perhaps that is yet to come. Why else would he work against our own intelligence services and take the word of a petty two-bit dictator instead of standing up to Russian President Vladimir Putin? Could it be that he knows he could not have been elected without the help of his comrades?
