Trump suggests espionage against the US was a good thing

Source: Huff Post

Trump tweeted this morning:

"Are we talking about the same cyberattack where it was revealed that the head of the DNC illegally gave Hillary the questions to the debate?"

THIS! THIS is what was elected. A person who thinks espionage against his own fucking country is beneficial.

And his herr-derr mouth breathing supporters and surrogates are lapping it up.

There is no coming back from this kind of division of the people of this country. There is no reaching across the aisle to work with people who support this. This is cancer. And putting some damn ointment on it ain't gonna help.

We're doomed if our representatives don't start radiation and chemo on this situation, STAT.

they'll have a great debate over whether to cut billionaires' taxes by 20% or 50%, or whether to cut social security first, etc.

not much to look forward to....

Shows you that we have pretty much fallen off the cliff, permanently.

I dont see the media doing their job in the future, and if we ever needed them to do their job, it is now.

Stating Trump was rotating towards admitting he knew something. Mr.Obama is going live in a couple of hours and one knows it is going to be on Point. Reality TV Star Con Job is trying to get out ahead of Mr.Obama's facts. Expect to see a tweet from the Con Job,stating his Campaign heard about it but it was Obama's fault.

Meanwhile,the Media is blowing off the China incident,and Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan are hiding in some undisclosed location. Hoping the Guy in the White House saves their collective asses.

it will also be the fault of Crooked Hillary.

The fault:
1) Obama
1a) Crooked Hillary
2) Whoever it looks like might run in 2020 (will move up in 2018)
3) Democrats in Congress or Crooked Democratic judges, depending on the situation
4) a low level staffer reporting into the Trump appointee, likely a Democratic plant
5) Bill Clinton
6) Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell
7) A Trump appointee
8) Mike Pence

It will never be trump

After the election, it was revealed that Fox News talked
to Trump ahead of time about the questions they were
going to ask him whenever he appeared on the show.

So it's very likely that he knew debate questions as well.

And it's never been proven in any manner that Brazile
got debate questions ahead of time. In fact, any
intelligent campaign operative always thinks of every
possible question and works on answers.

So ... I know what I think.

Trump is a traitor, pure and simple -- and he's reveling
in it because he knows there will be no serious consequences.

before the first debate because he'd heard what her first question was going to be. I'm sure he probably just came up with what the first question was going to be, in his bigly, very smart head all on his own, and it wasn't actually that he was tipped off.

Considering his disdain for her in particular and his litigious nature....makes one wonder why he hasn't sued her for libel or defamation.

Things that make you go hmmmmmm.....

The president is supposed to protect and defend the Constitution, the country and it's peoples in an unselfish way. But Drumpf cares only for himself and cronies. He needs to feel the heat as he violates his oath of office and should be tried for treason with no mery or quarter shown him.
