The World of Incredible Coincidence

Trump did not collude with the Russians. The fact that he handed them highly classified information in a closed-door meeting in the Oval Office is just an incredible coincidence.

Trump did not collude with the Russians. The fact that he has done everything in his power to undermine investigations into his possible collusion is just an incredible coincidence.

Trump did not collude with the Russians. The fact that he stood on a stage in Helsinki and took Putin’s ‘word for it’ over the overwhelming evidence presented by our own intelligence agencies of Russia’s attack on the 2016 election is just an incredible coincidence.

Trump did not collude with the Russians. The fact that he, his family members, his staff and his GOP enablers repeatedly lied about contacts with the Russians – until those contacts were proven and rendered undeniable – is just an incredible coincidence.

Trump did not collude with the Russians. The fact that he has never spoken a word against Putin – but instead has praised him at every opportunity – is just an incredible coincidence.

Trump did not collude with the Russians. The fact that he has refused to reveal anything about his one-on-one meetings with Putin – going so far as to confiscate and destroy the translators’ notes of such meetings – is just an incredible coincidence.

Trump did not collude with the Russians. The fact that he and his administration have tried (and sometimes succeeded) in lifting sanctions on Russian oligarchs is just an incredible coincidence.

Trump did not collude with the Russians. The fact that he covered-up/lied about his ongoing efforts to build a Trump hotel in Moscow – a highly lucrative project that represents billions of dollars flowing into Trump’s personal bank account – is just an incredible coincidence.

Trump did not collude with the Russians. The fact that he is now insisting that Russia be invited back into the G-7, thus ignoring what got them booted from what was once the G-8 in the first place, is just an incredible coincidence.

It is ALL just coincidence. There is no reason to believe that Trump has been compromised in any way by the Russians, no reason to believe that he is Putin’s stooge, no reason to believe that his unwavering support of Putin has anything to do with Vlad’s having this “pResident’s” political and financial balls in a vise.

If you believe in incredible coincidences, Trump is a shining example of how such coincidences can be easily explained away – as long as you also believe that what you hear isn't really what you've heard, what you see isn't really what you've seen, and facts simply don’t matter at all.

It is settled fact that Russia is our enemy - just as it is a proven fact that they did everything possible to put Trump in the White House. To dismiss Trump's oh-so-obvious kow-towing to Putin as an 'incredible coincidence' is as ludicrous as dismissing acknowledged facts as 'fake news'.

There is nothing that "pResident Trump" has said or done that hasn't put Russia's interests ahead of the interests of the US, or ahead of the interests of the global community.

The only real coincidence happening here is that the low-info, low IQ, brain-dead voters are the only group that believes in incredible coincidences - which, given their ignorance, is not a coincidence at all.

2016 Donald Trump's Crimean Gambit

The question came from Mareike Aden, a German reporter, who asked him whether a President Trump would recognize Crimea as Russian and lift sanctions on Moscow imposed after its 2014 annexation of the Ukrainian territory. The candidate’s reply: “Yes. We would be looking at that.”

2017 Trump: Crimea was 'taken' by Russia
President Trump commented on Twitter Wednesday that the Crimea peninsula was "taken" by Russia from Ukraine under the Obama administration. The comments mark a sharp U-turn for Trump, who had previously buoyed the Kremlin's claim on Crimea.
[ ... ]
Just hours later, Trump tweeted, asking: "Was Obama too soft on Russia?"
[ ... ]
In July, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin wouldn't make a military move into Ukraine -- even though the country had already done so by seizing the Crimean peninsula.
"He's not going into Ukraine, OK, just so you understand. He's not going to go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want," Trump said in a July interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on "This Week."

2018 Donald Trump’s talking points on Crimea are the same as Vladimir Putin’s
A few days ago, reporters on Air Force One asked President Trump if he would accept Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. They had good reason to do so. As Trump prepares for his July 16 summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, there have been signs that the U.S. president might be considering some sort of grand bargain that might entail recognition of Moscow’s claims.
[ ... ]
So how did Trump answer? “We’re going to have to see,” he said.

Most of the president’s statements on Crimea are similarly slippery, but one recent report gives a hint of his real views on the subject. Over dinner at the recent Group of Seven summit, according to BuzzFeed, he told other summit participants that Crimea is Russian because the population of the peninsula speaks Russian.


Cowardly Kremlin Don loves Vladimir Putin.

If a statistical analysis could be run on all these
"coincidences" that just seem to break his way I'd bet the probability would be infinitesimal.
