Manafort and his team , including Kilimnik , set about to recast Yanukovych as an inspiring leader who could work with the West .

Which brings us to Trump and his reintroduction of a baleful phenomenon long absent in American politics : violence . The United States has hardly been immune to the ravages of men who prefer to settle disputes not in representative chambers but by brawling in the streets .

But for the better part of the past half century , we have thankfully been spared its depredations . Like our basic notions of decorum , civility , common sense , and much else that makes America great , the laudable facility for restraining one ’s pugnacious impulses in the clash of political differences has been thrown out the window in this campaign season by the utterly debased personage of Trump .

But anti - Americanism has surged in Turkey , where Vice President Joe Biden arrives on Aug. 24 to reassure the NATO ally that the US and Turkey still stand together against terrorism .
