“Today President Trump went to a foreign country and criticized his own country, the United States of America, while bowing and scraping to a foreign dictator, Putin. Americans must ask this obvious question, and it is: Why does President Trump refuse to criticize Vladimir Putin about anything? It must be because Putin knows something about President Trump that President Trump doesn't want the rest of us to know. If that is true, then President Trump has put his own well-being and interests above those of the Nation. And that, Mr. Speaker, is the essence of betrayal. His actions have betrayed the confidence and the trust of the American people and could be called treasonous. Sadly, Trump's supporters must look at themselves and think whether or not they were sold out by the dog whistle ``Make America Great Again.'' They must now realize that the President has subjected himself to domination by the leader of the international white nationalist movement, Vladimir Putin. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________”
