Brownstein. max, nobody expects this president to go heavy about russian interference because he thinks it's bad for him and he believes it's now a game of gotcha. he can't own it, he can't put his hands around it. but to treat it the way he just did, forget about what we think, forget about media perception or even political analysis. in terms of strategic thinking with a power like russia, what does that mean? >> well, once again, chris, i think that for somebody who thinks of himself as being very strong, donald trump actually comes across as very weak, very much as a supplicant to vladimir...
