He could admit to killing 2 yr olds for sport, even some white ones, he wouldnt lose his supporters.

A traitor working for the KGB, in the WH, and they think that is grand.

He's working to make money as quickly and as much as possible no matter. If that means working with the Russian mafia, well ok. If it means kissing Putin's ass to do him favors to get his Russian pals to invest in the Trump businesses, well ok. Trump thinks that he is using the Russians, but he is the one being used.

US sanctions on Russia has really hurt the Russian economy. Lifting those sanctions means that Russians can get their oil business running again, move money around to invest, etc.

Trump can't understand the connections between words and deeds.

He's an idiot.

While at the same time, he is the authoritarian in his own bubble, hence no one can take his tweeter away from him.

"I'm the fucking ruler of the world now," is a really dangerous delusion for a senile old man to have.
Today's good news, with his tweeter he can only shoot himself.

I was talking about Dotard, not McTurtle. Or do you mean that it's McTurtle who will exonerate Dotard because of his lack of experience?

He has no idea what he's saying, but still, he tweets. Let him confess on Twitter.

Lieu tweeted that this is obstruction justice.

I can’t believe Trump just admitted he knew Flynn had lied to the FBI when he fired Comey.

Not sure what the strategy is or was but this seems deliberate.

If not then it's just massively stupid.
