I don't understand why people keep using things like this as their examples.

JFK met with Khrushchev. Bush Senior and Reagan had regular contact with Gorbachev. It's not weird for heads of state to talk to each other.

What's weird is for Trump to be paying tax dollars to cancel energy projects because he doesn't like windmills or using the FCC to investigate media outlets who criticize him.

There are plenty of good examples to use that it makes no sense to resort to evidence-free innuendo.

When you view it through the lens of Graft First, everything makes sense. All the seeming stupidity, ineptitude, and hypocrisy is just to make a buck.

Governing doesn't even appear to be an afterthought.

I still haven't figured out how he's profiting from Trump Accounts yet. Kick backs I suppose.

The stupidity and ineptitude is still real. These are a gang of nepo-babies who have mastered the art of failing up.
