NYT: Republicans Rebuke Trump for Siding With Putin as Democrats Demand Action (Paywall)
WASHINGTON — Republicans across the ideological spectrum rebuked President Trump after Monday’s extraordinary news conference with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, with Speaker Paul D. Ryan admonishing Mr. Trump and declaring, “There is no moral equivalence between the United States and Russia.” Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, called it “one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory.” Beyond Capitol Hill, even some personalities on Fox News signaled they were done defending the president’s actions. Neil Cavuto, a Fox Business Network host, called Mr. Trump’s performance “disgusting.”

Neville Chamberlain had only one Munich
where Nazi Germany made him into a eunuch.
With Vlad in Helsinki and Kim in Singapore,
Trump's had two Munichs. How many more
can his party endure?
