WTF does this even mean?

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 18m18 minutes ago
Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded..

Donald J. Trump? @realDonaldTrump 10m10 minutes ago
...and safe. Questions were asked about why the CIA & FBI had to ask the DNC 13 times for their SERVER, and were rejected, still don't....

Donald J. Trump? @realDonaldTrump
...have it. Fake News said 17 intel agencies when actually 4 (had to apologize). Why did Obama do NOTHING when he had info before election?


...did Trump discuss details of the hacking investigation with Putin?

What does 'guard election hacking and other negative things,' mean?

And, he has completely lost his grip on what is real, and what is real.

As for his discussions with Putin, I'm sure they discussed election hacking. But, not in the way people want to believe. Most likely they were discussing ways in which Trump and the GOP could further facilitate things for Putin in future elections. I don't believe for a minute that Trump defended America's interests in this meeting.

that he doesn't know anything about it, or can't think of the correct words to describe it. Dementia.

The sentence is really incoherent: we will be guarding election hacking and many other negative things?
