Donald Trump came late to a meeting with our closest allies, issued threats, called for the return of a hostile power thrown out because it invaded a neighborhood country and then stormed out early.

“He’s opening up a Pandora’s box for him politically,” Rhode said. “Russia intervened in the U.S. election to help Donald Trump win. All of our intelligence agencies agree with this.

CNN correspondent Michelle Kosinksi analyzed Trump’s argument that Russia should be back in the G8, and his blaming of Obama for the illegal annexation of Crimea.

“It just doesn’t make a lot of sense,” she said.
