Every United States intelligence agency has proved conclusively that Russian trolls, directed by Vladimir Putin, set up fake accounts on social media for the purpose of interfering with our 2016 Presidential election. Does Trump accept the finfdings of our intelligence agencies? Nope, he puts his trust in his good buddy (and fellow liar) Vladimir Putin.

McCain said Trump believing Putin and not the US intelligence community "is not only naïve but also places our national security at risk." It's more than naïve, Senator. It's moronic, foolish, ignorant and possibly treasonous.

Do you think Democrats will regain control of the House next year? Some of my friends say they will never again vote for Republicans. I wonder how many other people feel the same way.

Former top intel officials say Trump is getting 'played' by Putin
New York Daily News, Nov 12 2017 3:04 PM
Two former top intelligence officials said President Trump is getting "played" by Russian President Vladimir Putin with his denials of interference in the 2016 election. "I think he's giving Putin a pass. And I think it demonstrates to Mr. Putin that Donald Trump can be played by foreign leaders who are going to appeal to his ego and to try to play upon his insecurities," former CIA director John Brennan said Sunday on CNN’s State Of The Union. The manipulation, he said, is "very, very worrisome from a national security standpoint."
On Air Force One Saturday, Trump said he believes Putin is sincere in his denials that Russia meddled with the presidential election. "Every time he sees me, he said, 'I didn’t do that.' And I believe, I really believe that when he tells me that he means it,' he said. In the same remarks, he called Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper "political hacks." Trump later sought to clarify, saying at a press conference hours later that while he thinks Putin means what he says, he doesn’t necessarily believe him. He said he trusts U.S. intelligence assessments, which found that Russia did interfere.
Clapper, appearing on CNN with Brennan Sunday, agreed that the President is getting played by the Russian leader. "Putin is committed to undermining our system, our democracy and our whole process. And to try to paint it in any other way is, I think, astounding and, in fact, poses a peril to this country," he said. "I do think both the Chinese and Russians think they can play him. Mr. Trump is, for whatever reason, either intimidated by Mr. Putin, afraid of what he could do or what might come out as a result of these investigations. So it's very worrisome. It's either naïvete, ignorance or fear."

One more thing for Robert Mueller and his team to investigate:
The secret correspondence between Donald Trump Jr. and WikiLeaks
The transparency organization asked the president’s son for his cooperation — in sharing its work, in contesting the results of the election, and in arranging for Julian Assange to be Australia’s ambassador to the United States.

Trump praised Duterte for doing an "incredible job" fighting drug trafficking. I have to admit Trump is right. The thousands of drug dealers killed by Duterte's loyalists will never again deal drugs.

"The thousands of drug dealers killed by Duterte's loyalists will never again deal drugs".
That assumes they all DID sell drugs which would be wrong.
People get accused, turned in by others for petty vindictive reasons. Police have power and gripes so killing is a way to settle scores. Innocent behavior is ruled "guilty."
Trump is wrong - and an asshole.
