I suspect it's the loan papers.

But you trust the state-run media of an ex-KGB head/Russian dictator.

So you think that is being more trustworthy? Please explain your logic behind that.

Just because the Russian media is largely propaganda does NOT make the American media trustworthy- they both lie a lot. My logic is to turn on CNN for a few minutes, and if you have a brain- you will see thru their fake news.

Oooooh, getting personal.

The facts stare you in the face. Russian media is controlled by the Russian government. American media is not. If you prefer Russian propaganda over independent journalism, then it's because the propaganda is telling you what you want to hear. It's not because you are objective.

Very intelligent comment. I suppose that you do not have the intelligence or maturity to interact with others w/o being a smart a$$. The only alternative is that you were born this way, and have no choice.

You state that you trust Russian propaganda put out by "journalists" (who better report what Putin wants or they will meet with a sudden accident, suddenly "disappear" or end up in jail), over the independent U.S. media, and then you want to talk about intelligence and maturity? Seriously?

Ironic - back in February, at a rally of around 1,000 constituents in Lawrenceburg, KY attempting to talk with Mitch McConnell, who was speaking to a small group of paying supporters, a small sign reading "Russia Out of the Oval Office" appeared. It was meant symbolically then, of course, as rumors and evidence of Russian influence were increasing daily but not quite confirmed. The sign was just an effort to raise awareness of what was starting to look like a very serious issue.

Now, three months later - Russians literally ARE "in the Oval Office". And it's becoming increasingly clear that they are not there just for symbolic photo-shoots, by either American or Russian photographers.

Time to resurrect that slogan and put it to good use. Google the June 3 "March for Truth" for good places to put that slogan to use.

Addendum: Is Trump truly this unable to see how inappropriate yesterday's Oval Office Russia-only coverage was? What was Henry Kissinger doing at the White House yesterday? Has anyone checked to see if one of the Smithsonian's dinosaurs is missing from the Museum of Natural History?

Are Trump's arrogance and delusion so great that he truly cannot comprehend why having Russians visit concurrently with firing Comey will cause him greater problems than at least temporarily leaving Comey in place, or postponing the Russian visit? Who is he listening to?

Who are the 30 leakers said to be within the White House? What is everyone's end game here? Does Trump even understand the concept of an end game, and that in his position, "end" may be all too accurately descriptive??

This was terrible optics. This fool is laughing and yucking it up with two Russian officials who were more than likely involved in interfering in our Presidential election, and he is acting like they are all a**shole buddies.

We have been played by the Russians big time and "Little Hands" either doesn't get it or doesn't care!

Shameful - happy little Trumpies?
