Even today Trump couldn't admit that Russia--and Russia alone--hacked our election. He intentionally hedged and then lied about other countries "very likely" being involved. Lie. Just like his election illegal voting lie. Southern goofs keep on pretending that Trump is normal and that's there's nothing dubious about Trump's infatuation with Russia and the many meetings between Trump officials and Russians. He hired a //national security advisor// who was quite fond of the Russians--and got paid by a Russian organization--and tried to cover it all up. Trump's campaign manager, Manafort, was pretty thick with Russian contacts. Sessions lied to Congress when he said he hadn't met with Russians before the election. Kushner met with Russians immediately after the election. But this is all normal behavior for a president and his advisors, right? Get real. Trump wants to keep the flow of dirty Russian money--from cronies of Putin--to his real estate properties and deals. That is almost certainly what this is about. He knows Putin, with a word to his cronies, could stop the investments--and then Trump would be screwed because no legit banks want to deal with him anymore.
On another note, the NYTimes had a great tweet today showing how many times Trump has visited a Trump property since he got elected. At least once a week and sometimes twice. He's clearly determined to parley his presidency into more revenues /profits for himself and his companies. I THINK that is called conflict of interest and corruption--but perfectly OK with the Trump supporters, amirite? The real problem is CNN, right. Keep the moral blinders on, kids.
