I’m trying to wrap my head around this.

The only conclusion I can draw is that Trump saw the possibility of a Congressional override of his veto as a bigger loss than whatever fresh hell Putin’s got in his pocket.

Trump is unhappy. Rexxon is unhappy. This makes me happy for the time being, but I shudder to think what Putin is going to unleash in retaliation.

Trump may end up wishing he’d just taken the L here at home.
