What More Does Trump Need To Say to Prove He's Collaborating With Putin?

by Nancy LeTourneau January 16, 2017 1:39 PM

While couched in a whole series of other lies, even Donald Trump has admitted that Russia was behind the hacking of political campaigns/individuals during the 2016 election. Let that sink in for a moment. A president-elect has admitted that a foreign government interfered in a U.S. election in a way that benefited him. That fact alone is astonishing.

The only remaining question is whether or not Trump colluded with Russia in his attempt to win the presidency. Frankly, it is hard to imagine anything else he could say or do to prove the ties. Both Matthew Yglesias and Anne Applebaum suggest that what we already know about this partnership is bad enough. And both of those articles were written before Trump’s interview with Germany’s Bild and the Times of London. Trump basically affirmed everything Putin (and Steve Bannon) would want from his presidency.

1. Saying NATO is obsolete
2. Cheering the breakup of the EU
3. Denigrating Angela Merkel for letting “all these illegals” into the country
4. Putin immediately expressed his gratitude.

He'll fold up like a cheap plastic deck chair when the first real crisis hits his plate.

Hair all on fire and running around in the dark looking for the exit door from your responsibilities.

Twitter won't save you from the realities of life you impetuous fool; this is no game, our enemies play for keeps.

Can you imagine if one tenth of this came out on any Democrat, especially her?



What this proves is the GOP isnt about country, at all.
