Trump struggles as furor grows over reported Russian bounty offer to kill U.S. troops, LA Times:

10. Trump trying to slither out of this by saying he wasn't briefed

is just flat out pathetic. It's about as piss poor a defense as I can imagine. "Don't blame me, I'm just plain ignorant."

Someone should tell him it's his JOB to know shit like this.

It reminds me of an old Arlo Guthrie song about Watergate:

"You said you didn't know that the cats with the bugs were there
and that you'd never go along with that kind of stuff nowhere.
But that just isn't the point man, that's the wrong wrong way to go
'coz if you didn't know about that one--what else don't you know?"

Most incompetent president ever.
