Ari Fleischer defends Trump conspiracies: If Americans didnt want this they wouldve voted for Hillary
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/ari-fleischer-defends-trump-conspiracies-if-americans-didnt-want-this-they-wouldve-vote-for-hillary/
In an interview with Brooke Baldwin, Fleischer did say that Trumps tweet about wiretapping was a waste of breath and an immense waste of finger movement. According to him, Trumps tweet was something that shouldnt have happened.
Baldwin asked him if he were Sean Spicer defending Trump how he would have done it. All Fleischer could say was that Trump went too far. As someone whose job it is to carry the word of the president to the people, all Spicer can do is say what Trump has said about the incident.
So, unless the president says I made a mistake, Sean must do what the president asks him to do. Thats his job, he continued.
Donald Trump is unique, he said. Its one of his strengths and one of his weaknesses. If America wanted somebody who doesnt do these kinds of things, they would have elected Hillary Clinton. America knew we were electing an outsider who had no governmental experience, who is not a smooth operator. But they wanted, by design, somebody to go to Washington and change things and to break things and improve the economy. That was the focus of the election an thats why Im perfectly comfortable saying theres a whole lot of behaviors that Donald Trump engages that I just take with a grain of salt. Some of them are bragging, some of its being my counter tops are the best counter tops in any building you could ever buy. Nobodys lobbies are better than my lobbies!
