Lawrence saying that Trump has been pushed around by Putin so much and NKorean Kim sees this and
knows that he can push the right buttons also. Unfit to serve! (Lawrence is talking about how Trump is telling Thank you to Putin for expelling our diplomats=-to save U.S. payroll money).
God, we are living in a dangerous time!
Yet this article in WP does not mention anything about the unpresidential, unfitness of Trump to serve as President. Seems to be raking in trumps glory-like the article is talking about.
‘When you put this guy in a cage and think you’re controlling him, things like this happen’

BEDMINSTER, N.J. — Midway through President Trump’s second media availability in a single afternoon here Thursday, his press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, held up a sign signaling to the boss that it was time to drop the curtain on the show.

This was Trump in his element: At his luxurious private golf club here in Bedminster, the cameras trained on him, his vice president and national security advisers looking on admiringly, he parried queries — at times even gleefully — like a tennis player.

After a week of seclusion at his Bedminster golf club, mostly out of public view during his working vacation, Trump seemed to have a lot he wanted to get off his chest. He weighed in on a far-reaching array of topics and generated new headlines in rat-a-tat fashion.
The president’s exchanges with a small pool of traveling reporters lacked the formality of a full-fledged news conference. (His last was in February.) After each answer, he made eye contact with a reporter, as if to say, “Gimme another!”
“It was like he was a dam that had suddenly burst free and he was able to unload a lot that was on his mind,” presidential historian Douglas Brinkley said.
At both media availabilities, which had been billed as “sprays,” an official term for photo opportunities, Trump’s new chief of staff, John F. Kelly, was relegated to merely watching the spectacle. The retired four-star Marine Corps general has, with great fanfare, worked to instill order in the White House, including a more disciplined message from the administration and more limited access to the president.
But two things Kelly apparently could not control on Thursday: What Trump would say next or how long he would keep talking.
“This is what General Kelly will learn very quickly, which is when you put this guy in a cage and think you’re controlling him, things like this happen,” said one Trump confidant, who requested anonymity to speak candidly.
“President Trump is a performance artist and he loves being on stage. .?.?. He was very much Trump unshackled and unfettered and reveling in this moment,” said O’Brien, author of the 2005 book “Trump Nation: The Art of Being the Donald.”

“He realizes that the best way for him to control his message is to be the message,” Nunberg said.
