    Just watched that horror show. With each passing day, I really believe he is not mentally there. He has had some kind of stroke/complete mental breakdown/whatever.

    Trump will be hammered by pundits, but I think his press conference will play well to a good chunk of the voting base.

    Why? He said hardly anything, if hardly, about what it is he would actually do to help the people who voted for him. Is the base really just that stupid?

    It may very well do that. That's going to be of limited utility to the Republican caucus in congress.

    He's a populist and it was an aggressive populist press conference. I don't really get the unhinged angle. I think he pretty much did what he wanted to do. It's not that people are stupid, but a lot of folks aren't that invested in politics.

    I guess you missed the painfully detailed list he read at the beginning.

    European intelligence is intercepting communications between Trump advisers and Russian officials

    US allies are gathering intelligence on ties between Trump's staff and Russian agents, sources reveal.

    Isabelle Gerretsen By Isabelle Gerretsen
    Updated February 16, 2017 16:01 GMT

    US allies in Europe are conducting intelligence operations against President Trump's staff and business associates and intercepting communications between advisors in the White House and Russian government officials.

    Sources told Newsweek that a Western European country and Baltic nation are gathering intelligence on officials in the White House and executives at The Trump Organization out of concern for President Trump's foreign policy shift towards Russia.

    According to the Newsweek report, a Western European Agency has intercepted at least one contact between a Russian official based in the US and Michael Flynn, who resigned from his role as National Security Advisor this week after his secret phone calls with the Russian ambassador emerged.

    The foreign agency is also said to be compiling electronic and human information on Trump's overseas business partners, some of whom are thought to be government agents.

    Western European intelligence on Trump's links with Russia has been gathered since August, when the British government obtained information that Russian agents were in contact with members of Trump's campaign team. The information was widely shared with other Nato members in Europe, Newsweek reports. One source claimed that Theresa May's staff were briefed on the investigation's findings before the UK prime minister met Trump last month. Officials in the German government are also said to have received the information.

    The surveillance operations are being carried out following increasing concern that Russian President Vladimir Putin is using his relationship with the Trump administration to destabilise the Nato alliance, according to the sources who spoke to Newsweek on the condition of anonymity. A Baltic country is conducting an investigation out of fear that Russia's gaining influence with the US president could endanger its sovereignty, according to an individual with close ties to the nation's government.

    The source said that the Baltic nation has also launched an investigation into US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's close relationship with Igor Sechin, an ally of Putin and executive chairman of state-owned Russian oil company Rosneft.

    The Foreign Office and GCHQ declined to comment on intelligence matters.
