Russia Today uses Trump-tweet as proof that hacking-allegations are false

Nothing about the original hack.
Nothing about the dozens of articles in the US-media.
Nothing about the meta-data thank links the e-mails to computers with kyrillic language-settings and IP-addresses that had been used by russian hackers before.
Nothing about the FBI launching an investigation.
Nothing about Trump's financial ties to russian investors.
Nothing about Trump staff's ties to Russia.
Nothing about Trump's admiration for Putin.
Nothing about Trump's unusually Russia-friendly policy-proposals.



Summary of the article:
* A Clinton-campaign spokes-person refered to "experts" when confronted, instead of answering the questions by himself.
* Those experts aren't here, so they do obviously not exist.
* Russia Today cites Trump-tweets attacking that Clinton-surrogate as proof that the allegations are ridiculous.

1. What is the German consensus on Trump?

Do they find his xenophobia as offensive as the American left does in America?

Do they find his threats to undermine NATO concerning?

BTW. it's clear the Russians are trying to help Trump. The only question, imho, is if there is actual collusion. If there is that's treason.

2. An example from Germany's most-published political magazine.

"Der Spiegel" is somewhat center-left and they always try to sound moderate, as not to offend any politician. They even try to downplay the republican obstruction in the US as some sort of minor dispute and business as usual.

Their big article on the RNC-convention had the headline: "Festival of Lies"





I want to be honest with you:
The whole political business of the US, the nonstop lying of Republicans, the embarrassing problems that the US somehow can't find a solution to, Trump's outrageous antics... I find it hard to believe that the US is real. It's so bizzare and unrelatable.
I follow US-politics with the amusement of somebody watching a series on TV: with emotional detachment. Because something deep down inside me refuses to believe that such a country and such politicians and such scandals could possibly happen in reality.



Come on. Just between you and me. I promise, I won't tell.
That Mussolini-imitator with the fascist speech at that doomsday-convention, where a journalist gave a Hitler-salute, where his political opponent was accused of consorting with Lucifer and where she was sentenced in a mock-trial for imaginary crimes. That guy's an actor, right?
Right?
