The reason Trump did what he did at the press conference with Putin

[DrLove]

His base... called Americans.

The opponents of Trump would like nothing more than the nation to be finished. Anti-gun, anti free-speech, anti-capitalism... anti-American. Most importantly, Americans replaced with 3rd worlders.

No, 26% of eligible voters threw down for Trump Dumpster.
The other 74% were either semi-smart, or they didn't vote.
The rest of your screed is even more ridiculous

One problem with your figures.

I didn't vote for Trump. I most certainly didn't vote for the hag.

Well, then that makes us even. ;-)

Still a ***** response. If ever there were a more glaring example in history of Representatives and their party handlers putting their own re elections over truth and country, i would like to see it.

I watched the press conference live. There was no attempt to say Trump won because of interference. In fact, Putin said he wanted Trump to win and admitted to instructing his staff to help him win.

It was distressing to see Trump finishing Putin’s sentences and acting all beholding to Putin. Why?

That's how you read the QA session, because of your TDS.

I don’t have TDS. I’m not an American, and I don’t live in the US. I’m an impartial observer who follows US politics as an intellectual exercise and quite frankly, for entertainment value.

I first started noticing Donald Trump when he started showing up in the national media in the early 80’s but 10 years later had dismissed him utterly when he bragged if walking away from his first bankruptcy with $40 million in his own pocket. Despicable.

Throughout his business career, he played fast and loose with the law, using his wealth to push back when “little guys” tried to enforce contracts, burying them in litigation costs, pushing many into bankruptcy. American banks refused to lend to him when he twisted bankruptcy laws to personally profit from his scorched earth tactics while everyone who trusted him lost everything they invested.

Yesterday was a pivotal moment in history. Trump revealed himself very clearly yesterday in that press conference. All he talked about was “no collusion”, “witch hunt” and his electoral college victory.

His staff told him that Russia hacked the election. They told him who did it, how they did it, when they did it, how they paid for it, and who else was involved. The people Trump appointed filed charges against Russian government employees in this matter.

Trump blamed Obama. Trump blamed Clinton and the DNC. Trump blamed America. But Trump didn’t blame Putin.

"impartial"

Just claiming that dismisses the rest of your post.

Trump was no better or worse than any big US developer during the 80's or 90's he was just flashier.

And that’s bullshit. It’s a Trump talking point. Something that he says and his supporters parrot. There has never been a developer like Trump.

Nobody else had 3000 law suits. I worked in development law for 30 years. REAL developers stay out of court. As one contractor said “I can make more money going out and getting contracts than I can get in a court room”.

Then there’s the 7 business bankruptcies. Again a record for US businessmen.

Trump is unique, but not in any way that’s good.

There certainly is a reason why he is the billionaire, while you are a welfare bumb.

I’ve never been on welfare in my life.

Trump is a billionaire because he stole money, inherited money, and he’s been laundering money for Russian oligarchs. There is nothing admirable about Trump’s success because it comes from destroying others.

It has been explained to me here that the reason Trump's fans are fine with what he did at the press conference with Putin is because they feel our intelligence apparatus is corrupt and treasonous.

Well, holy shit. At least we have an explanation for what Trump did.

It would actually make sense. Trump gets info on his "base" directly from Hannity, who (along with Levin and Limbaugh and the internet) plants this stuff in their heads. Since playing to his base is his top priority, Trump then acts accordingly. He knows his base is convinced that everyone is out to get them, so he says what he needs to say.

That's good to know. I guess.
.

25% of Republicans are Russian sympathizers.

A quarter of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (25%) said they had a favorable view of Putin, compared with just 9% of Democrats and Democratic leaners. These views have changed little since last year.

Key public opinion findings on Trump, Putin and the countries they lead

That is Trump's base. According to his base, Trump, who also is sympathetic to Russia judging by his treasonous remarks yesterday, can do no wrong.

Trump sycophant, Newt Gingrich took exception to Trump's performance at the news conference in Helsinki.


Newt Gingrich ✔ @newtgingrich


President Trump must clarify his statements in Helsinki on our intelligence system and Putin. It is the most serious mistake of his presidency and must be corrected—-immediately.

Boy, Trump pissed off Gingrich. He is in serious trouble with Republicans.

Not his base, though. His fan base always supports him, no matter what. After all, Trump is about to appoint his second Supreme Court judge. Nothing else matters. Trump can verbally attack his own country, which he did. Trump can reject the intelligence from his own agencies and believe a communist dictator instead, which he did. His comments yesterday were clearly treasonous, and they were.

But his base doesn't care. He is appointing two judges.

Gingrich is not running for office, retard.

No, this was a complete set-up, as usual, form the very start.

If so, Trump sure fell for it.

If he did all those things, sure you can prove it and bring him to court?

Oh wait, you can't, because it's all a lie you pulled out your ass.

I did not state or imply that he was. Settle down, son.

 

[Borillar]

Our national security apparatus has not been national for years. It is an arm of the democratic party willing to fake, to lie and create it's own narrative. It is being used to overthrow the duly elected government. Putin IS more trustworthy.

Yeah, they're an arm of the Democratic Party. That's why they tried to hurt Trump by Pearl Harboring Clinton's campaign a week before the election.

You most certainly did, dipshit.

All the quotes I see of the question imply the meddling resulted in Hillary losing/Trump Winning.

You have a transcript that counters this?

I watched the press conference live. There was no attempt to say Trump won because of interference. In fact, Putin said he wanted Trump to win and admitted to instructing his staff to help him win.

It's around 3500 and the reason it's notable is because its the most ever by a presidential nominee. Of course that doesn't take into account that we have never had a president with such a wide swath of business dealings.

Exclusive: Trump's 3,500 lawsuits unprecedented for a presidential nominee

And you talk about developers and then reference a contractor. two very different parties. Contractors get paid to build, and as long as they build they keep their $$. Developers are often on the hook until they sell the properties, or at least lease out units in enough volume to make their investment back.

And the WP has only 6 they can find. Also Trump didn't sequentially declare 6 bankruptcies on his own wealth, but on businesses he owned, a few of them Casinos which have a poor track record in staying solvent in NJ.

Fact Check: Has Trump declared bankruptcy four or six times?

So once again you stretch things to make them fit your narrative.

 

[g5000]

Interesting. I wonder if our ambassador to Russia is about to resign.

NeverTrump TDS sufferer:

On November 7, 2016, she revealed that she had voted for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Though Navarro is a lifelong Republican, she is vehemently anti-Trump, and said she decided to vote for Clinton after seeing how close the race in Floridahad become.[9]
