Trump To Lavrov, Kislyak: I’m Not Concerned About Russia Interfering In The Election
Just hours after CNN reported that the White House restricted access to the accounts of phone conversations Donald Trump had with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and Vladimir Putin, the Washington Post released yet another disconcerting bit of incremental news.
During the infamous May 2017 Oval Office meeting with Sergei Lavrov and Sergey Kislyak, Trump told the Kremlin's top diplomat and the Russian ambassador that the White House was unconcerned with Moscow's meddling in US elections.
Mark my words. History will not be kind to Donald Trump — or the people who willingly joined his cult.
Even more important than the obvious and contemporary damage Trump is doing to the body politic is the what he is doing to the sinews of our government. The fallout for that will last decades. “Trump-era deregulation” and “Trump-appointed federal judge” will be buzzwords for when planes start falling out of the sky and buildings start exploding. He eviscerated core competence out of public service and replaced it with personal and corporate stooges.
I’m not sure why any would be inclined to think all this was ever different… The fact that Trump does not deny the obvious is unusual and amusing to say the least..Pretty tough to damage Politicians much these days !!!
