At a lunch with TV anchors Jake Tapper, Scott Pelley, Wolf Blitzer, Greta Van Susteren and George Stephanopoulos, among others, Donald Trump said he believes the appointment of a special counsel to head the Department of Justice’s Russia investigation “hurts our country terribly.”

Deputy FBI Director Rod Rosenstein on Wednesday announced former FBI Director Robert Mueller will lead the department’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign.

“I believe it hurts our country terribly, because it shows we’re a divided, mixed-up, not-unified country,” Trump said, according to CNN’s Tapper. “And we have very important things to be doing right now, whether it’s trade deals, whether it’s military, whether it’s stopping nuclear—all of the things we discussed today.”

“I think this shows a very divided country,” Trump added.

1. And who is responsible for unifying the country?

The buck stops with you, pal.
Do your job or get out of the way.

[underpants]

2. Yeah he's Mr. Unity alright

[BlueStater]

3. My eyes want to vomit after reading that.

He's so goddamn unintelligent and inarticulate, he makes George W. Bush sound like Stephen Hawking.

[MBS]

8. spot-on description

Thanks for giving me something to laugh about in this sad situation
.

[reflection]

20. I laughed at the reply title and the body of the text.

Well done, sir/madam.

[hibbing]

21. "stopping nuclear" n/t

[Stuart G]

33. I never thought I would say George W.Bush was smarter than anyone..

but from time to time, Bush knew when to shut up...This particular jerk, hasn't got a clue when to shut up....BlueSater is correct.....

not one clue. You know what? I think I am going to hide....

[Achilleaze]

4. When the republican Draft-Dodger in-Chief climbed into bed with russia

that's what hurt our country.

republican Comrade Casino can't get anything right.

[Thomas Hurt]

5. Yeah, hurts it terribly......(tear slides down cheek)

this country survived the Civil War, two world wars, the Great Depression and numerous other epidemics, smaller economic downturns and upheavals.

But a special prosecutor looking into Fat Fascist 45........weeelll, that is the end of the fn world.

[iluvtennis]

6. And what has Dumpty done to unify the country, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, in fact,...

...he's done stuff to crush our institutions - e.g., putting someone who doesn't believe in climate change as head of EPA, appointing unqualified Devos as Education secretary, appointing a racist as Attorney General, endangering our national security by giving Russians highly classified info, etc

[Kleveland]

7. I want to say that I just can't believe...

the utter shit that comes out of his mouth.

But no, I guess nothing surprises me anymore.

What truly shows that the country is divided are the divisive things that he is doing to drive a wedge of blatant lies, ignorance and hatred between good Americans on both sides. We may not all agree on some things, but we were all born Americans with the legacy of a Constitution created by those wiser than most of us.

He capitalizes on the frustrations and fear of others, and makes a concerted effort to create more of both as a distraction, while he continues to ruin Democracy, Human Rights, the environment, and progressive industries that may save the enconomy, jobs and our planet.

I hope Ailes keeps a seat warm for him......

9. Hey Donnie

When you're in a hole, stop digging.

[charlyvi]

10. He thinks he IS the state.

When you attack him, you are attacking the country. L'etat, c'est moi!

[red dog 1]

11. K&R...Thanks for posting

Trump is a lying, cheating, child-raping idiot, and a traitor to the United States by sharing secrets with our main adversary, Putin's Russia.

(God, I hope impeachment proceedings begin soon).

[standingtall]

12. Trump being in the White House hurts our country terribly.

If he really cared about the welfare of America he would resign right this minute.

[IronLionZion]

13. If you have nothing to hide, then why are you so worried?

Looking pretty guilty to me.

Isn't that what Republicans always say about surveillance, warrantless wiretaps, stop and frisk, etc?

[defacto7]

14. What? Hurts our country?

Sayeth the sociopathic megalomaniac.

[Honeycombe8]

15. The Democrats did not start this investigation, and are not doing an investigation.

He continues to lie about that.

The Dems have nothing to do with it. In fact, the Dems have very little power right now, so it's ridiculous to think they are responsible for anything other than requesting a special counsel. A mere request.

[wishstar]

16. Problem when FBI/Repubs in Senate indicate investigation focused on criminality

His position is increasingly desperate and ridiculous when Repubs in FBI have basically confirmed focus on possible criminality by Trump staffers.

[Renew Deal]

17. The country is united in supporting his resignation.

[yellowcanine]

18. Wait until Mueller subpoenas his tax returns.

[FakeNoose]

27. Yep - can't wait

It'll be happy hour for sure.

[Plucketeer]

19. Unification?

OR Fornication? Mr. Presidunce, I don't think you know the difference.

[OldHippieChick]

22. He says the Special Counsel is dividing our country so

he proceeds to blame the Democrats who have absolutely nothing to do w/ the appointment of a Special Counsel. It is the man he just appointed as deputy AG who named a Special counsel.

He has no logic, no perspective; nothing exists outside of his self-loving skin.

Brit Hume was making an understatement to call this man "petulant". He is a self-absorbed, ignorant, child-man.

[thegoose]

23. And this moron is STILL talking about the election

What a blithering buffoon.

[notdarkyet]

24. Do you think any of the reporters/journalists/anchors bought it? What makes trump believe

He can treat the media like lowdown liars and then expect them to just lap up his lunch.

[thesquanderer]

25. Why does no one ever respond by telling him that the electoral college favors Republicans?

It gives disproportional weight to states that lean Republican.

Since the Civil War, only three times has a President won by winning the EC but losing the popular vote, and each time, it was won by a Republican.

[Maeve]

26. Some people can't tell the difference between a symptom and a disease

But then, he's the disease.

[hamsterjill]

28. He looks and acts like an idiot.

The orange makeup is definitely heavier today than normal. It looks ridiculous as does the white makeup around his eyes.

He cannot even READ a sentence much less GIVE a speech.

[Sugar Smack]

29. Stopping nuclear WHAT??

Finish a sentence, you idiot. And any responsible interviewer would have cut him off right there to ask him WTF he was talking about.

[barbtries]

30. did any of the others mention

that he brought it on himself?

[truthisfreedom]

31. All this points to is his desire to HIDE that we're a completely divided country, with the majority

of us on the side that says he's nuts and needs to be dealt with asap. "It shows we're a divided, mixed-up, not-unified country." Yeah. It does show that. And you sure want to pretend that we're not. And pretend that you won. You lost, 45. You're only in because of a technicality.

[turbinetree]

32. Did one of these corporate media types making millions of dollars ask.........Do you understand

what TREASON is?

Do you understand what obstruction of Justice is?


Nice and simple for a sexual predator
