WHACKO-Theory corollary (important): An asterick should be placed by Trump's name in Presidents List

President Trump missed a photo shoot with the prime dictators in the world today--Russian and N. Korean Presidents--meeting no doubt in part to discuss how to sway American voters in the upcoming 2020 US national election.  Communists must be gloating over the fact that the intelligence agencies of the United States have been unable to substantially overwhelm the Administration's current view with a dosage of reality that in the 2016 election Russia had a part.  And clearly, these two dictators are not US buddies. For Trump, if Russia had been such a threat to the 2016 voting in America, all the blame must be heaped on the former President, a Democrat, Obama.

Trump has even attempted to ameliorate the Russian sanctions since 2017 by lessening their effects, certainly to add no more--a move that might devastate the faltering Russian economy.

So, Russia and the counterpart in North Korea can agree with Trump that so far as Americans are concerned, it's Springtime and everything's beautiful!  And, Americans are simply unaware of  these foreign attempts by Russian hacks and their opinion swayers to put Trump over on them. 

Next century, I am sure, historians of American history will insist that an asterisk be placed next to Trump's name in the list of American Presidents, suggesting that there was undue foreign influence in the American voting behavior of 2016.

WHACK-O Theory Important! Russian intrusion into the US voting system is causing a Constitutional Crisis

Please remember that this is a Whack-o Theory.

What's the fallout of the Russian invasion of our computer apparatus and files?  I contend it has led to a Constitutional Crisis in which the three branches of government cannot function as meant by the Constitution's framers.

Essentially, I believe that the Republic is being transformed into a one-man dictatorship wherein the Congress will not be allowed to carry forth its duties of prompt branch oversight--since its subpoenas are not being honored by the Administration without a prolonged fight in the administration's judicial system.

Importantly, in my opinion, the military has not had a say in mapping a defensive strategy to take on the Russian invasion onto our shores, fighting this intrusion with stated strategies of battlements.

The Republicans ought not to allow a foreign power to invade us.  This is not a matter of public opinion; this is a fight to save the Constitution from external bombardment and to preserve the internal separation and integrity of the several branches of government, such that the legislative arm of the federal government is not impeded nor sacrificed for the sake of a fledgling dictatorial Executive.

Indeed, this is a matter, to me, of grave consequence for the preservation of the Constitution and the rule of law it has provided for lo these many centuries.  The US Military must stand to protect the Constitution's implied guarantees of prompt enforcement of regulatory duties and judgments .
