Even before the Helenski press conference, the divide in the way President Trump is perceived is vast

John McNaughton painted this picture of President Trump and named it "Respect The Flag." The painter says, "I painted President Trump picking up a shredded and trampled flag off the football field.

Quote of the day:
"Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what you think it is you want to hear."
