trump tweet: no response on Russia attacking our democracy, again, it's all about him.



Russia started their anti-US campaign in 2014, long before I announced that I would run for President. The results of the election were not impacted. The Trump campaign did nothing wrong - no collusion!

He doesn't give a damn about the fact that he is finally forced to admit that Russia interfered in our elections.

The Donald on his first trip to the (then) USSR in the late 1980s, along with--no doubt--many others. But this mark was not only easy, it paid off.

to not deny Russia interfered in the election.

I think the line about Russia starting the "anti-US campaign" will be used against him.

Russia waged an "anti-US" campaign. So where are the sanctions?

Notice that Russian meddling doesn't matter so much as the fact that HE won fair and square without help. It's becoming more and more difficult to separate the meddling from the winning, though. Only in a deplorable's mind would they remain separate.
