Russia hysteria

Congratulations if you consider that an absurd notion, but it makes about as much sense as a lot of the charges we see leveled against President Trump throughout the media - social and otherwise - these days.

While countless members of Congress scream about Russian hysteria, Trump understands the importance of having a constructive relationship with a fellow nuclear power.

If you doubt that, just ask Sen. Rand Paul, one of the few in Washington who dared to refuse to toe the establishment line after Trump's Helsinki press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and whose trip to Russia last week earned him the fury of those in constant search of another thing to be angry about.

Trump derangement syndrome is actively driving the demands to punish Russia - with little regard for any consequences.

Paul's engagement is parallel to Trump's engagement.

Paul supports Trump, he agrees that engagement is necessary and he embraces an "America first" foreign policy.

Recognizing the agenda behind the establishment's talking points and refusing to be guided by it - as President Trump and Senator Paul have done - is exactly what it will take to make diplomacy great again.
