Trump news conference performance 'nothing short of treasonous'

[christiefan915]

catch 22 for trump. Agree with the Russian collusion narrative and delegitimize your own presidency. Disagree and the dems call you a russian puppet.

The word "collusion" is not mentioned in the official document.

Democrats have become warmongers - I think Libya mindfvked them.
They are the same as Bill Kristol on foreign policy

That's crazy. Which Democrats want war? I assume you mean those Dems in Congress.

Putin should have showed up in a dominatrix costume. It would have been appropriate.

Apparently none of the Democrat politicians got that memo. Here are just a couple. There are plenty others.

Attempting to give credit to Trump for sanctions either means you are uniformed, or you rely on Fox for "news.

The sanctions are strictly due to bipartisan efforts in Congress. Trump has fought them and complained about them relentlessly.

Trump has been virtue-signaling his masters in the Kremlin that he is not interested in sanctioning Russia, or implementing and enforcing sanctions.

Those pesky facts...

Now Trump is claiming he "misspoke", and he says he accepts that the Kremlin meddled in our election - just that it did not propel him to an electoral college victory.

He is either literally a dumbass, or the guy is delusional, pathological liar, and possibly suffering mental breakdown.

I leave it to the professional psychologists to diagnose.

He said "why would they [meddle]" instead of "why wouldn't they." Anybody who believes that sad sack explanation is nuts.

You are the one doing the "Heil Trump" nonsense, Granule.

Hey...no problemo. Without people like you the world would be a lesser place. Ya know...fewer dictators!

And without people like you, the world would be SO much happier.

Imagine! No more race hustling; no more politcal correctness; no more lack of accountability; no more blatant disregard for the law; no more coddling criminals; no more gender bending; no more cow towing to social justice perverts.... my God, the list is practically ENDLESS!!

But I thought we couldn’t believe the Russians lol.
There will be no triumph of words. Let’s see what *actions* follow after the summit. Then we’ll discuss who ‘triumphed’.

I'm merely reporting what their media was reporting -- they were gloating. Whether it's justified or not, who knows. I would think though that most Americans would be ashamed and appalled at that travesty of a meeting, and how the so-called leader of the free world threw us under the Russian bus. I saw various quotes this morning from government and intelligence community members. One said that Trump had the appearance of someone being held hostage and forced to read from a prepared script.

Actually, most of us *are* appalled and ashamed. It's only the brain-dead TrumpZombies who continue to sing his praises.

One of the shittiest non-apologies ever. Yugest, best, winningest. Pfft.

Hello Flash,

Gave comfort.

That is still a real stretch. I like your explanation better that it was "treasonous" rather than treason. I think comfort has to be to an enemy with which we are at war or in conflict; if not, any kind word is "comfort."

Literally the stupidest and most uninformed president this great nation has ever had.

Perhaps you should read some of the studies about Trump voters.
You may change your tune if you knew some facts.

I have read a lot. Whites without a college degree does not equate to "uneducated." They generally have a higher than average income. The groups with the lowest levels of education are Hispanics and blacks who vote heavily Democratic. Based on the generalization about Trump voters that would make these two Democratic groups ignorant, but only for those who are judgmental, intolerant bigots. If the Democratic Hispanic and black voters were criticized for being uneducated and ignorant they would be called racist, but it is somehow acceptable to make the same stereotypical comments about Trump voters. They can't stand the thought of being defeated so their defensive reaction is to see themselves as superior to those who voted differently than they did.

I don't share any of the political views of Trump supporters, but I can easily understand how they would vote against those who view them as ignorant because they do not have a college degree, hicks, racists, deplorables, and all the other offensive descriptions of those that pretend they care about humanity but in reality are full of hate. This hatred contributed to the election of Trump because they felt they were being looked down on by intolerant elitists who think they are better than their fellow humans.

I’m appalled by the reaction to it. Though I can’t say I’m surprised by it.

Talk of treason etc. Do the screeching monkeys in the media not realize Trump is the chief executive and that the IC is underneath his authority? POTUS can declassify IC documents and even, get this part, criticize the IC in front of foreign leaders and still be light years away from committing treason.

And it wasn’t even a criticism—Trump equivocated on the Russian meddling question. It was one of those uncommon occurrences where Trump equivocated like a standard politician. He’s typically blunt, to a fault. It was TAKEN as a criticism of the IC by the media and blown so far out of proportion that I am actually embarrassed by this country’s media.

It’s disgraceful.

It was clearly not from the heart. Just droning words on paper.

Correct, when we are at war.
