May 10 2019
Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin spoke by phone for an hour on May 3rd, agreeing that the two-year Mueller investigation was a "Russian hoax", imaginary intrusions into the 2016 election apparently, and, as Trump said to reporters, the Mueller report "ended up being a mouse".

It amplified concerns for how that character trait is likely to burst forth when transported to the affairs of the Oval Office.
