Komrade Trump is circling the drain
“President” Donald Trump continues to lie to conceal his involvement with Russia and whatever Kompromat Vladimir Putin has on him. Today, after the intelligence community took a steaming dump on all of Trump’s lies about China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, he’s come out tweeting.
Today, we learned that Russian operatives have been trying to manipulate evidence from the Mueller investigation. Trump went on the assault against his own intelligence community because when the fink is cornered, he comes out swinging, those little fingers on those little hands to disparage all around him.
Trump tweeted today: “The Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran. They are wrong! When I became President Iran was making trouble all over the Middle East, and beyond. Since ending the terrible Iran Nuclear Deal, they are MUCH different, but a source of potential danger and conflict. They are testing Rockets (last week) and more, and are coming very close to the edge. There economy is now crashing, which is the only thing holding them back. Be careful of Iran. Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school!”
He then added: “When I became President, ISIS was out of control in Syria & running rampant. Since then tremendous progress made, especially over last 5 weeks. Caliphate will soon be destroyed, unthinkable two years ago. Negotiating are proceeding well in Afghanistan after 18 years of fighting. Fighting continues but the people of Afghanistan want peace in this never ending war. We will soon see if talks will be successful? North Korea relationship is best it has ever been with U.S. No testing, getting remains, hostages returned. Decent chance of Denuclearization. Time will tell what will happen with North Korea, but at the end of the previous administration, relationship was horrendous and very bad things were about to happen. Now a whole different story. I look forward to seeing Kim Jong Un shortly. Progress being made-big difference!”
Recall that this man Vladovich (“son of Vlad”, not quite right, but what is the word for asset or puppet in Russian) Trump is someone who does not receive intelligence briefings, uses fictional movies as a basis for threatening to declare a national emergency, makes up other numbers that cannot be verified, and has six of his closest aides indicted and/or convicted. When does it all end?
