The title sounds like a sporting event, but I had a sinking feeling in Helsinki yesterday as I tuned in. A "Thrilla in Manila" it wasn't. Expecting a press conference but a wrestling match broke out. A poor member of the press was manhandled and had his credentials questioned. Didn't know it was a contact sport. POTUS didn't handle the Q & A too well - he kept invoking Hillary's "server". As his rambling continued he reminded me of Captain Queeg on the witness stand and I expected the steel balls to appear. But Putin lightened the moment by tossing Trump a soccer ball, saying "The ball's in your court". And on the heels of Wimbledon, if this had been a tennis game it was all Putin - game - set and match! And all Trump's "fault". Friends, don't forget to vote in November.
