So, we see that the presidency is not a job position to attempt on the job training, especially if the candidate has demonstrated only low level skills.
He is not only shifty on Russia. Just yesterday he showed interest in arming teachers in the classroom. Now a day later he tweets he never said that. Huh?
At BEST, Trump was an ignorant and useful tool of the Russians. It has been categorically shown that the Russians were trying to influence our election, and they were influencing it for Trump. The only question now is to what extent they control Trump directly.
At WORST, he is a willing tool.
What seems most likely is that he feels beholden to the Russians, who are propping up his real estate empire by owning the only bank that will provide loans to this multiply-failed real estate scam-artist, whose approach is to license his name, invite investment, guarantee his share, and when things fail (as they do more often than not — he couldn’t make money with a CASINO, for Pete’s sake), he walks away with his money and everyone else loses theirs. NO OTHER BANK IN THE WORLD loans him money anymore, and that’s what “real estate magnates” require to succeed, because no one can pay for a skyscraper themselves.
And that is the generous assumption, since it is entirely possible that he is being blackmailed for his past indiscretions — though as someone pointed out to me, that would assume Trump has any shame, which is an excellent point. But on the other hand, he DOES rely on the myth of his wealth as a sign of his power, and we already have good reason to believe that he is nowhere near as wealthy as he claims, and that is the key point for his ego and his success.
Ex-KGB agents have stated that Trump was exactly the kind of person they tried to influence starting back in the 1970s and 1980s – wealthy, poor self-control, famous.
Elect a crazy man…expect a crazy administration. This toon assumes trump has the ability to promote consistent “policies.” He has no policy except a feral-like ability to sow discord and conflict. There is no “there” there with this sort of mental illness. Self aggrandizement is the only policy.
Of course there was collusion with the Russians. Trump Jr admitted as much in his emails. The father and son are birds of a feather in that regard. I don’t think junior is insane, though. But his papa clearly is mentally unstable and unable to control his compulsive behavior.
YOUR GUY, Gorrell. His ‘policy shifts’ are not due to ‘confusion’.
He HAS no policies, other than his own self aggrandizement, financial and otherwise, along with his love of Putin policies of disappearing and murdering his opponents.
I guess T-rump missed the news about the Utah teacher who managed to shoot the toilet she was sitting on at school injuring herself. A true NRA poster child for protecting America’s students by arming over-worked , well meaning educators with an unreasonable burden . Sugar and beets! Just outlaw semiautomatic weapons you GOP Congressworms!
How would Fox News handle this? Oh, yes; I remember. “Some people say that Russia is blackmailing Trump with their videos of him raping a 14-year-old. Now, WE don’t know if that’s true or not but SOME people are saying…”

Since there is no crime of “collusion” yeah, not guilty. But my money’s on money laundering for Russian oligarchs and criminal elements.

If he isn’t guilty, then his obstruction of justice was just fine, right?

“I’m only guilty of confusion.”
And delusion, illusion, pollution….
He’s unable to make a worthwhile contribution; he acts as if he has a brain contusion; and he belongs in an institution (not the Smithsonian).

So why did Trump ask Russia to reveal the Hillary e-mails during the election if there was no collusion?

I wonder if any Trump Disciples noticed the five item reminder list carried with him to meet with the students?
You know, the Trump Disciples who bitterly criticized Obama for using a teleprompter.
.
Trump is unable even to fake sympathy on his own — he needs a reminder list. The final item on the list was “5. I hear you.”
As if.
