Trump's best day is being told there's no evidence that he's a Russian stooge.
Mueller found plenty of evidence that the Kremlin tried to swing the 2016 election for Trump. The question Trump fans need to ask themselves is,
why? Was it because he promised to make America great again?
Let’s start with the undeniable premise that the Russians *always* pull for one candidate or another lol.
And they’ve been doing it for decades. But since it’s fun to speculate here’s my theory: Hillary was a proven interventionist that played a hand in Iraq [Russians didn’t like that]; in Syria [again, bad for Russia]; Libya [ditto]. And this isn’t even getting into how *we* meddled in Russia’s own back yard while Hillary was Sec State.
Without getting into any Dark Conspiracy Theories Russia probably would have backed ANY candidate besides Hillary. Add to that Trump publically stated he wanted better relations with Russia. Who in their right mind doesn’t? Hillary, Obama and Bush II all wanted a better relationship with Russia. There’s no good reason NOT to.
But on account of you goof balls and your Russian theory we screwed the pooch on that.
A note about conspiracy theories, generally: ONLY resort to them after more reasonable explanations have been ruled out. It will save you considerable embarrassment—I’ve been there myself.
Going forward, we need to ASSUME Russians are going to try and meddle and take the appropriate countermeasures. Obama knew they were meddling—but it’s not something to reignite the Cold War over. Even Obama knew that because he told Putin to ‘stop it’ lol.
It was only because Hillary lost and Trump won that it’s still being talked about almost three years after the election.
Right?
