This is nutty and dangerous beyond imagination. After all the reports this week of the prolonged cyber attack by Russia on our government agencies, after a week of radio twitter silence on the subject, trump finally responded today with this -
It is not clear whether trump even wrote the tweets with words like “actuality”, “priority chant” and “petrified.”
He first claims that this attack is very minor and “everything is under control”. He then tries to deflect the blame to the media and to China, which makes no sense if the first statement is to be believed. Blaming China is the favorite bogeyman for trump and republicans. He then uses this as an excuse to claim victory at the election, which he lost bigly.
Every security expert and government agency has pointed the finger at Russia. Even SoS Mike Pompeo issued a statement blaming Russia. We suppose Pompeo will be summoned to the White House imminently.
Some reactions to these bizarre tweets -
Does anyone thinks that trump is not compromised?
This has been happening in plain sight for years now -
The word treason is trending.
Democrats and the media need to step up to the threat posed by trump and the GOP to our democracy.
What’s going on? Is Putin calling all the shots? Is he still dictating statements to the so-called president of the USA? Why did it take so long for trump to respond?
There is always the possibility that trump and his inner circle were aware of the hacking even before it was discovered. Heck, trump may have delivered some state secrets and helped open some cyber doors for the Kremlin.
Also, this seems to be a favorite tactic of this White House — attack the media, blame China, trash Democrats, tie Democrats to China, use every news item to claim election fraud by Democrats and then claim victory for trump.
Maybe, the words of this lunatic do not matter. But this is alt-reality from beyond the twilight zone. Our country is under attack, while the occupant of the White House and the GOP are aiding and abetting the enemy. Perhaps trump is a bigger Trojan horse than the hack of the SolarWinds software. So are many republicans in high places.
Team Biden and historians have their work cut out for them to uncover the treasonous acts that may have been going on for over 4 years now.
Let’s hope more and more people in the country realize how low the party of Lincoln has fallen.
