CNN’s Anderson Cooper went to the boundaries of political correctness to criticize President Donald Trump‘s performance at the presser in Helsinki, Finland Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“I just can’t imagine being Vladimir Putin and actually hearing the president of the United States go back to the well of Hillary Clinton‘s server and the 30,000 e-mails and all this stuff,” Cooper said to colleague Dana Bash. “Which he’s been like Rain Man going back to time and time again for years now, but to hear him on the world stage doing that standing next to Vladimir Putin, I mean with all the research Putin has done, it’s got to have been a surreal moment for Vladimir Putin.”

4. thanks for the context.

yeah i guess that's one way of thinking about it, like rain man always needing to see wapner right on schedule.

personally his going back to hillary and the election and all that strikes me more like tim robbins in hudsucker proxy, when he says "i didn't expect all this hoopla" about inventing the hula-hoop, and the press all laugh and love it, then later in the movie he tries the line again and it falls completely flat. trying to relive the glory days already.

well the media hasn't turned on him... yet... i can still hope... against all odds....

2. Yes he did! The entire panel's mouths were left hanging open.

One reporter said, "I make my living using words but right now I don't know what to say."

John King, "This was the Surrender Summit."

Gloria Borger, "Mental Health evaluation needed?"

They're all shocked and frightened. We all should be.
