While defending Putin, Trump is also attacking the U.S. intelligence community. Beyond stupid.
“Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump blasted former U.S. intelligence officials by name, including former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former FBI Director James Comey.”
“Comey is proven now to be a liar and he is proven now to be a leaker.”
To paraphrase our last Republican president " I looked into his eyes and saw a good person".
But did he look into his soul?
DJT is in love. This is the way guys with crushes see the world and talk. He’s got a chubby for Vlad and there is no reasoning with him. Until Trump finds another delicious despot who winks at him, Putin can do no wrong.
Your bluster doesn’t cut the mustard, Mr. Trump. We are learning day by day the massive efforts made by the Russians to elect you and to bar HRC from becoming president. The cat is out of the bag and no amount of your threatening (what? to assassinate the CIA and FBI agents who are outing you?) will change what people have already learned about this.
“Every time he sees me, he said: ‘I didn’t do that.’ And I believe, I really believe that when he tells me that, he means it,” Trump said.
Well I guess that settles that!
Apparently Putin denied that the issue of election interference had come up doing their (supposed) five minute meeting (!). Throwing him under the bus? Pee-pee man is in trouble.
It’s time to play - Read their body language
From the photo above:
Trump’s closed fist suggests he’s telling a story about the prostitute he banged the other night (or the metaphorical equivalent).
And Putin has the look of a man with a well tuned bullshit meter, who knows he’s winning the war.
Someone is very afraid and spinning himself into a deeper hole.
Let us know when you get to hell, Trumpski. You’re getting closer.
And yet there is supposed to be some question as to whether Trump is saying he “believes” Putin.
I think Putin would appreciate some opposition here. It would make the game last longer than Trump sacrificing his queen so early.
A public declaration of belief in a hostile leader, while trashing our own intelligence leaders, by name, as liars. This is truly impeachable. And Mitch and Paul really are abetting the enemy.
Jesus. I don’t know what’s more pathetic. The fact that he is president, or the fact that this tin pot dictator wannabe will never become a dictator
If this isn’t treason, then I don’t know what is.
Hurry up, Mueller. Please hurry up.
The Trump Liar Paradox: Trump says he believes everything Putin says. Trump says that he and Putin talked about election meddling but Putin denies it. Does Trump therefore believe that he is wrong about his own beliefs? Discuss.
No puppet! No Puppet!
Well maybe just a little.
Just enough to make the State Department lose their career master leaders.
Just enough to call all U.S. intelligence agencies political hacks.
Just enough to destroy democracy.
I’d rather have him, you know, work with him on the Ukraine than standing and arguing about whether or not — ’cause that whole thing was set up by the Democrats.”
Wtf? No, you deeply ignorant man. The Russians invaded a sovereign country. The Democrats did not make the Russians invade and take territory.
What a dotard. Just can’t help but flaunt his deep ignorance, his gullibility, and his contempt for his own country, and flaunt all those things to the whole world.
Trump still believes the word of the Russian dictator/former KGB agent over the US IC. And he says the IC consensus, backed by irrefutable evidence, is a Democratic hit job. He will not/cannot separate the Trump campaign collusion issue from the Russians are ruining our democracy issue (although his continued sticking up for Russia shows they are intricately related), in order to take steps to protect our country from foreign interference. He’s a fucking moron, a fucking criminal and a fucking traitor. And, the Republicans in Congress are still OK with this? They’re a bunch of fucking traitors, too.
