Trump says it’s fake news. I think we have to listen to him. Who’s a bigger expert on fake news than Trump?

"Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is "A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE."m

Trump quotes Russia to try to prove what the “truth” is. SNL is extremely angry–he just stole their idea for the opening of the show this Saturday.

This is a joke, right? Right?

Trump - master of knee jerk reactions and holding grudges, basically justifies the same in return to him. If he craps on the intelligence agencies, there is always the possibility that the deed will be returned. Only thing is, these guys are not so stupidly public with their actions. The POTUS elect is like a quarterback… piss off the linemen and they may miss a few (or many) blocking assignments.
You reap what you sow.

If you ask me, nothing reasserts your dignity and makes your accusers look cheaper than a hysterical early-morning tweetstorm. It rivals “Check out the sex tape!” for Lincolnesque gravitas. Oh, and citing Putin is a nice touch. Who’s in a better position to know whether there’s any truth to this?

ahh pretender…claiming the people who compromised you are saying they didn’t…is hardly reassuring proof that they didn’t.

so…come to a press conference and lets have it…i am sure you can explain the rolls of all the people named …if it is all bull.

Certainly. 'Cause Putin such a phenomenally credible source of reliable information.

Let’s see, Russia is saying they didn’t compromise him.

And Trump says that he has no financial ties, loans or connections to Russia. Good thing he’s been so forthcoming with his financial information, so that is easy to verify.

I was wondering the other day if Trump may have the same fate as John Kennedy if the intelligence agencies perceive him to be a threat to the US interests.

Really don’t know or care much about Trump’s sexual likes or dislikes, but wouldn’t about 90% of this dispute be resolved with the release of Trump tax returns and financial dealings?

Any other party any other President and Trump would be gone, but the Republicans and the right are so hungry for power, so hungry for authoritarianism that nothing is going to happen. This is the new normal.

I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!
This is called a negative pregnant. He does all business w corporations and partnerships of corporations, and of course he- the “I” in the answer- in his personal capacity. He proly learned about how to conduct business and lie about it feom his father before he was out of high school. And “NO NOTHING” Really? Making American English great again? Or an unwitting admission if perfidity? Which is it Orange Pustule Hitler?
