Britain should investigate former MI6 agent Christopher Steele, says Donald Trump
Source: Telegraph UK
Donald Trump has said that Britain has a lot of problems and should investigate the former British spy who made lurid allegations about the president-elect in a dossier.
...
According to a full transcript of the interview, Mr Trump said: Its fake news, it was totally made up and I just got a letter from people that went to Russia with me.
Very rich people, they went with me, they said you were with us, I was with them, I wasnt even here when they said such false stuff.
I left, I wasnt even there ... I was there for the Miss Universe contest, got up, got my stuff and I left I wasnt even there its all... so if this guy is a British guy you got a lot of problems.

(46,804 posts)"Very rich people, they went with me" - He has to throw in "rich people"? So that somehow makes the allegations false? Very strange word salad responses.

(101,154 posts)He measures people by how much money they have.
I suspect that quite a few rich people do think like that, but very few of them are so clueless as to say it out loud. Or maybe he's just accepted there's no chance whatsoever he can get re-elected, so he may as well show his true nature.
Just think - in 2012, Romney's secret "47%" speech hurt him. Now, Trump says the same kind of thing on purpose in interviews and speeches, and he retains enough support to win the electoral college. It's a worrying ethical descent for the USA.

(46,804 posts)His habit of bragging about his wealth is very unusual and disturbing. I've never seen a rich man say things like, "I am very, very rich folks, believe me." Such an insecure man.
Meanwhile, someone should tell Donald that some very rich people do the sort of things he has been accused of. Hey, they can afford it.

We are in for some real interesting domestic and international challenges after Friday. Not going to be pretty.
I see nothing positive in the near future for anyone who is not White and in the top 20% of our country. Appears we now have them against us and the Media is pushing hard for the them's while doing their best to silence the us's of the Nation.

(1,105 posts)tRump is going to find out he is now playing in the big show and the folks who play in that league aren't really impressed with p**sy grabbing, 24k gold plated apt, vulgarians. Boy's going to get a wake up call very early on. Unfortunately we are going to be tarred with the same brush, it may be for the better in the long run but in the short term US influence in the world is going to take a significant hit.

A note from your friends, however rich (is that relevant? Seems counter
support - you know how they stick together), is not much of an alibi

(7,188 posts)but we've been kinda tied up investigating YOU.
You wouldn't BELIEVE the sorta stuff we've been finding. Really UNBELIEVABLE stuff. Some HYUUUUGE stuff.
And some of it's embarrassingly tiny, but least said, soonest mended.
