So Trump fired the lead investigator into his Russia connections. This raises the specter of both Nixon's Cox moment and the idea he's trying to hinder the investigation. That night, his aides struggle to cope with the snap decision, with Spicer hilariously being questioned in the dark.
The very next day Trump gets a photograph with Nixon's Secretary of State - either oblivious to the optics, not caring, or deliberately trolling. He also meets with two top Russian diplomats. One is rumored to be a top spy recruiter for Russia. For that meeting, Trump refuses to let the American press in but he allows Russian press in. When it's brought up that they could have brought in spying equipment - something that's been done in the past - Trump's team dismisses it saying the press went through the same search that US press do, though the Post has stated that is hardly sufficient. They also say they didn't know the press would be coming in - raising the question of what kind of background they required for any of the people.
This is seriously insane.
