Donald Trump will be his own undoing when it comes to his collusion with Russia and their hacking of our elections. Trump just admitted on Twitter to collusion, by saying his son was at the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians— “to get information on an opponent”.

I’m sure Robert Mueller already has the saved screenshot.

Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower. This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere. I did not know about it!
