What's this?

Trump makes his living off of people like you, who have no

understanding of nuance or context. Of course the Dems screwed up. Nobody disputes that. The problem in this case is context. At the same time, he does not condemn the Russian hackers or Putin (likely because Putin is essentially his handler).

I give Trump credit for his message though. Keep it simple and repeat if loudly and often - and if it is a lie, make it a big lie. That will work on certain mindset. This has been proven repeatedly in history.
