***********

Trump mentioned Wikileaks 164 times in last month of election, now claims it didn’t impact one voter

“Boy, that Wikileaks has done a job on her, hasn’t it?”

President-elect Trump says that information published by Wikileaks, which the U.S. intelligence community says was hacked by Russia, had “absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election.” This was not the view of candidate Trump, who talked about Wikileaks and the content of the emails it released at least 164 times in last month of the campaign.

ThinkProgress calculated the number by reviewing transcripts of Trump’s speeches, media appearances and debates over the last 30 days of the campaign.

Trump talked extensively about Wikileaks in the final days of a campaign that was ultimately decided by just 100,000 votes in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania combined.

...........

Trump mentioned Wikileaks in each presidential debate, which were watched by tens of millions of people.

Trump described the contents of the emails released by Wikileaks as disqualifying Hillary Clinton from the presidency. Trump used Wikileaks as proof to his claims that she was corrupt and the system was corrupt — both the political system and the media. (The media, Trump insisted, would not cover Wikileaks.)

Trump encouraged his supporters to read Wikileaks. He delighted in each new release. He marveled at the damage Wikileaks was doing to her campaign.

Wikileaks, in short, was a core part of Trump’s closing argument against Hillary Clinton.

1. What we now have coming at us like a freight train...

is an irredeemable, documented serial liar.

Truth and fact do not matter to this nutjob or his campaign sycophants.

A public servant - not sure if this jackass knows that is what he is - cannot lie to the people without significant consequences. Ask Nixon and Clinton.

Gawd, did those Republican morons screw up.

Or were they just after Pence all along?

3. The technical term for Trumpo is PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!

If given a choice between a lie and the truth and both give him the same result, he will choose the lie every time!

[yallerdawg]

5. Perfect!

From wiki:

..."falsification entirely disproportionate to any discernible end in view, may be extensive and very complicated, and may manifest over a period of years or even a lifetime".

We cannot trust or believe a single word coming out of this sociopath's mouth.

2. his 'full of shit' meter is broken

4. That picture does show

what a slappable face he has.

6. Trump worked with the Russians

And our media repeated his lies unchecked 24/7.

His comments about wikileaks are now like his talk about the election being rigged.

9. This entire 18 months has been breathtaking

and terrifying. Who knows where we'll end up.

11. I am really scared about what is going to happen

This was a coup. Last week before the 2 college semi final football games
ESPN/ABC had on a really creepy ad that showed nice footage of Americans
and told me that even though a lot of people feel upset (they didn't say about
what but you tell they were talking about Trump) but we Americans always come
back together and we love football too.

Trump and McConnell should be in jail for treason. They knowingly worked
with Russia to steal the election.

BTW how many times did a member of Trump's campaign visit Moscow/Russia
in the last 2 years.

7. The man does not remember from one minute to the next

exactly what he has said.
That is a given.

[lastlib]

10. doesn't remember? or doesn't CARE??!?

Whatever bullshit he can claim is whipped cream, he spews.

[dhol82]

12. Both.

I think there is a vast space between his ears that only voices inhabit.
There is no thought process located inside.
