Trump Gloats After Papadopoulos Sentence: 'No Collusion, A Great Day for America!'

Source: Mediate



by Tamar Auber | Sep 7th, 2018, 6:02 pm

On Friday, President Donald Trump responded to former campaign adviser George Papadopoulos‘ sentence with a gloating tweet calling it a “great day for America.”




The 14 days appears to be a reference to Papadopoulos’ prison term, which was set on Friday at two weeks.

Yet, it is unclear exactly where he got the $28 million figure, although Trump has thrown about similar figures about the cost of the Mueller probe, saying back in May the Mueller investigation will soon cost $20 million.

Trump’s tweet also comes on the same day as he distanced himself from his former campaign adviser.

Collusion wasn't a charge in the case. Donnie's tweet makes no sense (not unusual, I realize ) Shrike47 Sep 2018 #3

He can probably get sued for the cost of the investigation. Maybe a class-action with 100 million plaintiffs.

See, no big deal if you colluded. Just a couple of weeks in the slammer. So go ahead and admit everything to Mueller and you'll get a light sentence.

"Great" I don't think Great means what Trump thinks it means.

$2 million a day to lock up Papadopoulos is quite a good deal.

we pay for Trump to visit his own properties or the money spent on his adult children. He is the last person to talk about how much anything costs the taxpayers.

Something Trump isn't personally familiar with. Clearly Mueller got more out of Popadolpolous than 14 days in jail.
