17 minutes ago he tweeted this...



While my (our) poll numbers are good, with the Economy being the best ever, if it weren’t for the Rigged Russian Witch Hunt, they would be 25 points higher! Highly conflicted Bob Mueller & the 17 Angry Democrats are using this Phony issue to hurt us in the Midterms. No Collusion!

"According to the Washington Post, Trump and the White House have denied collusion more than 140 times as of January 18, 2018."

During his first year in office, Trump tweeted "no collusion" about once every two and a half days.

The article is from the beginning of the year. I can't spend any more time searching right now but I'm sure he's tweeted at the same rate or perhaps even more frequently.

Here's the article:

is directly proportional to his guilt of doing that very thing. The more he denies, the more guilty he is. You can bet the house that he's guilty of conspiracy, not "collusion" and he's going to prison because of it.
