    I knew 2018 would be a very, very entertaining year! The First Rule of Holes is to quit digging when you find yourself inside one. It appears "draining the swamp" means to forget that rule. He's habitually attacked our allies, but has nothing but praise for Putin and Russia. Now, he puts Americans, even if they are "the media", on an enemies list and removes Russia. Fascinating! What's more, as his Tweet implies, he wants to allow the GRU to take a good look at US intelligence techniques and evidence to help find "the real hackers".

    President Trump on Thursday blamed "the real enemy of the people, the fake news media" for portraying his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin as a failure.

    He insisted that the meeting, which was met with alarm by Republicans, Democrats, and national security experts, was a "great success," and additionally said that he looked forward to a "second meeting" to move forward on "stopping terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear proliferation," and more.

    The Summit with Russia was a great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media. I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed, including stopping terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear........
    — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 19, 2018

    Intelligence officials have condemned Trump's apparent defense of Putin regarding Russia's interference in U.S. election systems. In a second tweet, Trump baselessly claimed that most media ignored his acknowledgement of Russian meddling out of a desire to "see a major confrontation with Russia." He did, however, praise Fox News for showing clips of him discussing Russia's interference, condemning the rest of the media for wanting "no part of that narrative." Summer Meza

    Why do we have any dialog with Russia while they are meddling in our election and occupying Crimea?

    Having a dialog is fine. Giving Putin a handjob under the table is not.

    End Times broadcaster and radical conspiracy theorist Rick Wiles used his “TruNews” television program last night to warn that MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow had signaled that a violent coup will take place within the next 72 hours during which President Trump and his family will be dragged out of the White House and beheaded.

    After ranting that the prominence of people like Maddow and CNN’s Anderson Cooper on television is evidence that America has been “homosexualized” and is “no longer a Christian nation,” Wiles declared that a recent segment in which Maddow argued that this nation must begin to prepare for “the worst case scenario that Trump is compromised by Russia” was really a signal that a leftist revolution is imminent.

    “She was spewing out, last night, calls for revolution,” Wiles said. “She was telling the left, ‘Take a deep breath, we’re at the moment, it’s coming, we’re almost there, we’re going to remove him from the White House.'”

    “We’re about 72 hours—possibly 72 hours—from a coup,” Wiles warned. “Be prepared that you’re going to turn on the television and see helicopters hovering over the roof of the White House with men clad in black repelling down ropes, entering into the White House.

    Be prepared for a shootout in the White House as Secret Service agents shoot commandos coming in to arrest President Trump. That is how close we are to a revolution. Be prepared for a mob— a leftist mob—to tear down the gates, the fence at the White House and to go into the White House and to drag him out with his family and decapitate them on the lawn of the White House.”

    We know the msm is anti-American. But Russia can also be anti-American.

    The two are not mutually exclusive.

    He's not saying all media is the enemy of the people, just the Fake News media, and I tend to agree with him that the Fake News media is the enemy of the people. I would even go one step further and suggest that the fake news media may actually have more damaging influence on the average American than any Russian meddling ever could have.

    The first sentence is an unsupported hypothesis, akin to propaganda.

    The difference is that it benefits all of us for Trump to maintain diplomacy and a relationship with Russia.... But the media? Shrug, let the media keep shooting their credibility in the foot, at least they can't start a world war like Russia could....

    Trump is worried that if he admits the Russians played a very small role in the 2016 election, the Dems will jump up and say: "Aha! You admit you're illegitimate!!!". And that's exactly what they'll do.

    Trump isn't smart enough to say:

    "The Russians tried to influence the 2016 election, but they spent 0.000002% of the total amount and it had ZERO impact on the results. Even so, this is a problem. We should investigate what they did and how to prevent it in the future".

    Anyone with an IQ over 80 knows the msm is biased and has a hatred of anything traditionally American. They want to fundamentally destroy and remake America even more than Obama wanted to.

    The President is exactly on point.

    Totalitarian regimes first take over the media, because that is where control of the people can come from.

    The more people are made aware that the left prefers war with Russia, than finding common ground, the better.

    Another variation of the same weak unsupported hypothesis with a touch of flame bait thrown for a nonsense post being exposed.

    Ironically Russia was found to be using fake news to help Trump but he just ignores that

    Every news report is written from a Bernie Sanders/Elizabeth Warren perspective. And you deny there is a bias?
