A good number of Americans are wondering the very same thing about the president himself, whether he might have committed the t-word by meeting with Russian operatives who had attacked our supposedly inviolable electoral system during the 2016 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>This is precisely the kind of thing, the retweeting of such a defamatory image by the president, that reminds us of the kind of man we have representing this country at the highest levels of international relations.<\/p>\n<p>This is the stuff of a bully, the kind of individual who the first lady herself has pledged to combat with her still-unspecified campaign to rid the culture of this hideous behavior.<\/p>\n<p>And yet . . .<\/p>\n<p>The 38 percent of Americans who continue to revel in this individual&#8217;s presence as president cheer him on.
