ORIGINAL: tweakabelle FR In a startling about turn, even by Trump's own unique standards, the orange disaster has gone from haughtily dismissing allegations of Russian interference in US elections to blaming it on Obama! In a tweet today, Trump claimed: "Since the Obama Administration was told way before the 2016 election that the Russians were meddling, why no action? Focus on them not T!" http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40395433 Previously Trump had denigrated claims of Russian interference in the US elections as a "hoax" and "fake news". Now, it seems that the alleged "hoax" was real, and that news Trump has repeatedly insisted was "fake" is in fact true! Not only is it true, but, incredibly, it's somehow Obama's fault for not taking enough action against the Russian interference!!! I was under the impression that it was considered bad form for a sitting US President to criticise their predecessors. But Trump has turned bad form into a lifestyle. The president has said all along that: quote:
Trump Says 'I Think It Was Russia' That Hacked the Democrats - The ... https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/11/us/politics/donald-trump-press-conference.html Jan 11, 2017 - What he rightly calls a hoax is the media propaganda circus and howlers like you pretending that he had anything to do with it In its fact checker section, the Washington Post has published a complete list of Trump's claims about the Russian interference titled: "Every Russia story Trump said was a hoax by Democrats: A timeline" https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/06/01/every-russia-story-trump-said-was-a-hoax-by-democrats-a-timeline/ Here's a typical denial in a tweet by Trump: Totally made up facts by sleazebag political operatives, both Democrats and Republicans - FAKE NEWS! Russia says nothing exists. Probably... 10:11 PM - 13 Jan 2017 or this: "Russia talk is FAKE NEWS put out by the Dems, and played up by the media, in order to mask the big election defeat and the illegal leaks! 10:16 AM - 26 Feb 2017" Please note the bits where he specifically alleges "fake news", in capitals, twice, just in case you missed it. There's lots more like this at the WaPo link above. Again, the president is right when he calls the Russia propaganda hysteria a hoax. EXAMPLE - quote:
CNN deletes, retracts story linking Trump and Russia - Philly.com www.philly.com/.../cnn-deletes-retracts-story-linking-trump-and-russia-20170624.ht... 7 hours ago - On Thursday evening, CNN investigative reporter Thomas Frank published a potentially explosive report involving an investigation of a Russian investment fund with potential ties to several associates of President Donald Trump. ... But by Friday night, the story was removed from ... What he is discussing is the leftist hysteria clown circus accusing him of being a Russian agent blah blah blah Even if one of his tweets was about Russia denying it, so what. Means very little unless you are already completely hysterical [:D]
