I called President Putin of Russia to congratulate him on his election victory (in past, Obama called him also). The Fake News Media is crazed because they wanted me to excoriate him. They are wrong! Getting along with Russia (and others) is a good thing, not a bad thing.......

.....They can help solve problems with North Korea, Syria, Ukraine, ISIS, Iran and even the coming Arms Race. Bush tried to get along, but didn’t have the “smarts.” Obama and Clinton tried, but didn’t have the energy or chemistry (remember RESET). PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!

The man is a traitor! completely derelict in his duty to protect and defend the constitution of the US against all enemies, domestic and foreign.

Question: When will the Republicans stand up and say "Enough!"

Answer: When we have finally shown them the door in the midterms.

[jberryhill]

1. What is the problem with Ukraine?

Other than Russia attempting a phased takeover, what "problem" does Trump think Russia can help us with in Ukraine?

[MBS]

21. My outraged question as well. n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. My prediction:

Trump claims Russia is responsible for helping to break the ice with North Korea, and uses that as justification to lift or ease sanctions against it.

[gratuitous]

3. Odd

Trump felt the need to say "Obama called him also" for some reason. Emulating Obama isn't usually something Trump does.

[poboy2]

6. yep. bush as well. looking for 'cover'. -nt

[leftstreet]

10. Good catch. That would normally give him a reason NOT to

how odd

[poboy2]

4. WEAK ass sauce...fucking pathetic. Is that all you got?

[FakeNoose]

30. Let's see, where's that dictionary? Oh here

So which will it be Cheeto - Firing squad, hanging or electrocution?

[poboy2]

40. Let us be civilized. We should also offer him the blindfold/sack cloth hood.

Last meal is a choice between MacDonalds or KFC.

[SergeStorms]

44. Hanging.....

in one of his knee-length neckties, across from the White House in Lafayette Park.

Allow McCabe to pull the lever for the trap door.

[poboy2]

46. Watering the tree of liberty with tyrants, as they say. -nt

[RussBLib]

54. With the blood of tyrants, that is

But yeah

[poboy2]

56. Yes, unforgivable of me really. blood! geez, how embarrassing. Thank you -nt

[SCVDem]

45. All the above! nt

[world wide wally]

47. Hmmmm... good question:

Electric chair would probably cause a grease fire
Hanging would probably break the rope.....
I guess it's firing squad

[Achilleaze]

5. "Ignorance is strength." - Dirty Donny*

* aka republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

[kennetha]

7. Somebody will be out by close of business today

Trump is obviously major league embarrassed by the leak -- to the extent that he is capable of being such -- and the leak obviously cam from someone very highly placed on the National Security Team.

Whoever it is, they may have finally smoked Trump out once and for all. I mean making it clear that he simply refuses to excoriate Putin over ANYTHING is pretty stark.

[bdtrppr6]

8. do you really think he knows the word

"excoriate"?

[enough]

11. Maybe he knew it for a few seconds when someone dictated it to him. NT

[Leghorn21]

12. Yah, like this, enough: eeeeeeee....xxxxxxxx.......ccccccccc...etc! nt

[yonder]

37. that jumped out at me, too.

I'd doubt he knows the word, much less being able to use it in a sentence. The rest of the tweet looks trumpish to me, but I'm betting somebody had a hand editing it. SMiller/Sanders anyone?

[Fritz Walter]

42. His Russian handler dictated it to him

Had to spell “excoriate” three times slowly, and each time said “No, it does not end in the numeral 8!”

[PatSeg]

53. Yeah

That jumped out at me, he had some help with those Tweets. Even the sentence structure was better than usual.

[smirkymonkey]

59. That stood out for me too.

No way did he come up with that word on his own. Some lackey is playing editor for him.

[Leghorn21]

9. ...Russia *and others* - yeah, okay, 10-4, meathead.

Also what in all the fuck is with the randomized Capitalization?!?

Anyway, is “excoriate” our new word of the week? (I’m old enough to remember when “adept” showed up in both tweets and utterances every day during cough choke “gun control” yammering)

Oy

[louis-t]

32. Stupid people overuse caps as a way to

create emphasis. I imagine him shouting when he says the words out loud. Stupid moron.

[hatrack]

13. But I thought that ONLY HE could fix it!?!?

Need Vlad's help, Lil' Shitstain - is that what you're saying now?

[NewJeffCT]

14. I don't recall Obama calling Putin to congratulate him

or to capitulate to him? Can somebody refresh my memory there?

[oberliner]

17. He did

"President Obama called Russian President-elect and Prime Minister Putin to congratulate him on his recent victory in the Russian Presidential election," according to the official summary, or "readout" of the call.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2018/mar/21/did-donald-trumps-predecessors-congratulate-vladim/

[spanone]

24. although putin hadn't helped him get elected as he did trump

[NewJeffCT]

27. Thanks for the correction

I'm surprised he did.

[Tanuki]

35. From your link, next paragraph:

... "Obama’s own State Department, while congratulatory, noted concerns about "the conditions under which the campaign was conducted, the partisan use of government resources and procedural irregularities on election day."....

[mr_lebowski]

41. Yah, before Ukraine invasion, before Putin hacked our election, before he was poisoning

people in our allies countries using banned chemical weapons, sickening dozens and permanently crippling a man (if he even survives) along w/his presumably completely innocent daughter ... among at least a dozen suspicious deaths of his political enemies all over the world.

Putin has been a FAR WORSE actor in the past 6 years, thus these are totally different situations.

[duforsure]

15. Why is it then

You attack everyone else when you tweet, speak in public? Why do you attack everyone else so much , then you're so weak and scared to say or do anything that might upset putin? Because you've conspired with putin and russia, and because you're scared to death he'll expose you more, which will hurt your ego. Why do you say nothing to the man behind holding our nuclear power plants, but you'll attack a woman or a defenseless immigrant from somewhere? Why is it you'll say we need to harden our schools but say and do nothing to harden our security from cyber attacks. The same reason you're attacking Mueller now, your a coward , and a treasonous one at that, and now its catching up to you. A traitor to this country is the only person that would bow down to putin like you do.

[oberliner]

16. Russia can help solve problems with Ukraine?

There are no words.

[kennetha]

18. well crushing the Ukraine and reabsorbing it would be a "solution"

from Moscow's point of view

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. Well, I mean, it could get out.

For starters.

And enders.

[MBS]

23. " " " " n/t

[oberliner]

26. Exactly

Russia is the problem with Ukraine that needs solving.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. The only instigator / driver of arms race is Donald J Trump. . . . . nt

[dchill]

22. Tweezil.

[FreepFryer]

25. I bet he's never used the word 'excoriate' properly in his life. (n/t)

[FailureToCommunicate]

28. Sorry, but those don't sound like Dirty Donny's words. I bet someone 'helped' him.

"Crazed"? "Excoriate"? "Energy or chemistry"?

[Farmer-Rick]

36. But he does claim to be smarter than W. and has more energy and chemistry

(Me thinks he was looking for the word chirsma) than Obama. So in some ways it sounds like the F*cking Moron.

[dbackjon]

29. He called Dubya stupid in that tweet.

True, but what shade

[FakeNoose]

31. Yes he's pretty dumb, but even Dubya was smart enough

... to NOT vote for Cheeto.

[Mc Mike]

33. Getting along with NATO is a good thing.

Getting along with England, France, Germany, Canada, Mexico, is a good thing. Somehow, we get to see the shoot from the hip li'l Donnie when he's dealing with those Western allies, though.

His fucking lies are so ridiculously transparent. Every thing he's ever said is contradicted by something else he's also said.

That lying pile of orange puke. Traitor.

[Kirk Lover]

34. Russia is helping to cause problems, not solve in NK, Syria, UKRAINE (!!!), Iran....this is freaking

absurd.

[SonofDonald]

38. Help with "And even the coming Arms Race"

Isn't Russia the country we're usually in an arms race against????

The buffoonery is strong with this one, I just can't believe he hasn't been removed yet, we all know the pukes are staying mum hoping the dumpf won't set the world on fire but damn these enablers need to be cashiered asap before their silence is paid for in blood.

Everyday now we see it's all coming down around the dumpf and it sure seems like the wheels are coming off, just not soon enough.

[CelticWinter]

39. he cant back step this

no way out of this one, his head is gonna

[randr]

43. Show us the tax returns

so we can decide how conflicted you are

[the_sly_pig]

48. He didn't write the tweets....

... someone used the word "excoriate". Trump has no idea what that word means.

[First Speaker]

49. Anyone notice how Trump threw Dubya under the bus...?

...not having "smarts". Well, of course it's true--indeed, for once Trump says something true! But I wonder how the GOPers in Congress feel about this little grace note concerning their last President...

[Different Drummer]

50. Pot, meet kettle. n/t

[samnsara]

51. Yes we will have peace when someone strong arms trump out of america

[pangaia]

52. PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.......

YIKERS...

Now just WHERE have I heard this before?.. ummmmm

OH, YES,, NOW I remember...



WIKI--

"Peace Through Strength" appeared in the Republican Party platforms of 1980,[13] 1984,[14] 1988,[15] 1992,[16] 1996,[17] 2000,[18] 2008,[19] 2012

[edbermac]

55. Bush tried to get along, but didnt have the smarts.

Shrub is a Rhodes scholar compared to you, BoneSpurs.

[DesertRat]

57. "President Putin"

Everyone else is called by their first name or a belittling nickname.

[Mr. Ected]

58. I never thought I would ever miss George W. Bush

And I was right.

I don't miss him in the least.
