According to reporters, Trump thanked the Finnish president for his support and said the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has never been stronger.

“I enjoyed being with you a couple of days ago. NATO has, I think, never been stronger. It was a little bit tough at the beginning, but it turned out to be love. I appreciated your support,” Trump said in his opening remarks.

Finland, however, is not in NATO.

Every time Trump called the link of Russia/2016 elections "fake news" or "a witch hunt" he was lying

BTW I already heard that somebody else wrote a piece about this earlier today and I am
totally stealing his subject. Please post a link if you know who was the author of that idea.


"Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election."

WASHINGTON — Two weeks before his inauguration, Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election.

The evidence included texts and emails from Russian military officers and information gleaned from a top-secret source close to Mr. Putin, who had described to the C.I.A. how the Kremlin decided to execute its campaign of hacking and disinformation.

Mr. Trump sounded grudgingly convinced, according to several people who attended the intelligence briefing. But ever since, Mr. Trump has tried to cloud the very clear findings that he received on Jan. 6, 2017, which his own intelligence leaders have unanimously endorsed.

The shifting narrative underscores the degree to which Mr. Trump regularly picks and chooses intelligence to suit his political purposes. That has never been more clear than this week.

So "the deep state" turned out to be real after all.

And it was and still is Vlad Putin, the GRU, Donald Trump and Company, Mitch McConnell,
Paul Ryan, the Mercers, the Koch Brothers, Fox News, the 7 GOP senators who went to Russia,
Devin Nunes, Dana Rohrabacher, and all those GOP congresspersons who held those non stop
and unneeded hearings into nothing about HRC.

The Trump/Putin Helsinki meeting has been done before




Trump is a Russian asset who was installed by Russia w/Republican collusion.
He is a treasonous bastard and those who support him are no better.

In 2018 we need to forgot all about reaching out to the Trump voters and
we have to push 24/7 that a vote for a republican is a vote for the country
that has attacked America in what was an act of war.
