Trumps Evolution From Relief to Fury Over the Russia Indictment

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Trump began the weekend believing that something good had just happened to him. An indictment leveled against 13 Russians for interfering with the 2016 election had not accused him or anyone around him of wrongdoing. “No collusion” was his refrain.

But once ensconced at his Florida estate on Friday, Mr. Trump, facing long hours indoors as he avoided breezy rounds of golf after last week’s school shooting a few miles away, began watching TV.

The president’s mood began to change as it became clearer to him that some commentators were portraying the indictment as nothing for him to celebrate, according to three people with knowledge of his reaction. Those commentators called it proof that he had not won the election on his own, a particularly galling, if not completely accurate, charge for a president long concerned about his legitimacy.

What followed was a two-day Twitter tirade that was unusually angry and defiant even by Mr. Trump’s standards. In his tweets on Sunday, Mr. Trump sought to shift the blame to Democrats for Russia’s meddling, saying that President Barack Obama had not done enough to stop the interference.

Kurt Vonnegut loathed him!

So great that this came right up when I googled

On CBS News Nighwatch, Kurt Vonnegut said:

"He's obviously a scumbag, because he started making love to other people and betraying my daughter and her innocence from the very beginning. If I see Jerry again, I'll spit in his face."

I want him to SUFFER -- often, long and intensely -- for what he's done to this nation. I want his children to suffer as well for their complicity, as well as their own crimes.

(Just to be clear: I'm not wishing harm on anyone, merely their just desserts -- justice -- and the emotional pain and suffering that should go along with that.)
