US: From pandering to Putin to abusing allies and ignoring his own advisers,

Trump's phone calls alarm US officials (CNN)

- In hundreds of highly classified phone calls with foreign heads of state,

President Donald Trump was so consistently unprepared for discussion of serious

issues, so often outplayed in his conversations with powerful leaders like

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Erdogan, and so

abusive to leaders of America's principal allies, that the calls helped convince

some senior US officials -- including his former secretaries of state and

defense, two national security advisers and his longest-serving chief of staff

-- that the President himself posed a danger to the national security of the

United States, according to White House and intelligence officials intimately

familiar with the contents of the conversations.
