Trump Says He Was Being Sarcastic About Russia Taking Down Hillary Clinton



Donald Trump crossed a major line during a press conference yesterday when he suggested that Russian hackers should try to find Hillary Clinton’s lost emails. In an attempt to undo the damage he inflicted upon himself, Trump told the troglodytes on Fox News that he was just being sarcastic, so calm down. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Mussolini hid his ties with Nazi Germany for a long time:
Trumps has secrete and not so secret ties to Russia through
money.

Trumps must get a swelled head plotting with Putin against
the greatest country on earth.

Look at all the spies that have been caught: most if not all
had and ego problem and wanted to get rich.

Sounds like Trump and Mussolini, both Huge Liers and very greedy

He then covers it up (like his balding head) and turns it into a joke (which he is).

What else is Donald Dumbf&*# insincere about?

Katy Tur followed up with questions about what Trump said. Trump said nothing about being sarcastic and told Katy to be quiet.

Trump also later tweeted the same invitation to Russia.

This guy wants to be president. People all over the world listen to EVERY WORD the president utters. They PARSE every word the president utters. Why? Because when America sneezes, the world catches cold. When America gets a cold, the world gets pneumonia.

So, Donald, what do you think people here in America think of your sarcasm? Not much. What do you think the people of the world are thinking about your sarcasm?

They are getting ready for war.

So...

DON'T waste your vote or worse, not vote. Both of those actions will help Trump. Do you really want to help Trump pull our social, political and economic fabric apart at the seams?

If you don't then vote for Clinton.
