The Washington Post took great offense yesterday at Donald Trump calling them a “Russian asset.” We imagine Russia wasn’t too thrilled about it, either. After all, if you were a global superpower, would you want to be associated with something like this?

This is an interesting piece of history with a silly news hook. https://t.co/sqP7cAwqSz — Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) July 31, 2019

“Silly” being the operative word, here. We get that they’re trying to be cute or whatever, but it’d be a lot cuter if they hadn’t already dedicated endless months and countless man-hours to proving that Donald Trump colluded with Russia only to come up empty-handed.
