In light of these comments do you believe America has elected a Fifth Columnist as president?

Let's stare this reality square in the face: PEOTUS is pro-Putin and believes Julian Assange over the @CIA. On Jan. 20 we will be less safe.

1. No, there is no consistency to his views.

He vacillates all over the place.

2. He has been consistent in stating our intelligence is wrong and Putin and Assange are right.

He has not wavered.

3. Trump in 2010: WikiLeaks 'disgraceful,' there 'should be like death penalty or something'

Donald Trump called WikiLeaks "disgraceful" and suggested there be a "death penalty" for their actions during a 2010 interview.

Speaking on camera to preview Brian Kilmeade's radio show, the Fox News anchor brought up the topic of WikiLeaks. At the time, WikiLeaks had published hundreds of thousands of classified documents and videos that were leaked to the organization by Pfc. Chelsea Manning, known at the time as Pfc. Bradley Manning.

"I think it's disgraceful, I think there should be like death penalty or something," Trump said during the quick exchange uncovered online by CNN's KFile.

His 2010 comments are in sharp contrast to his decision Wednesday morning to invoke WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who claimed in a new Fox News interview that the Russian government was not the source of the hacks during the presidential campaign.

4. That was seven years ago.

Here are tweets since he has been turned:

5. He plays on whichever team serves him best at the moment.

That's not just true on this subject, its true on many subjects. He is wildly inconsistent.

7. Trump cares about Trump. It's as simple as that.

If he ever gets the impression that Putin is working against him personally, he'll flip. The USA is an after-thought in the matter.

Roy Cohn was supposedly one of Trump's closest "friends" and mentors when he was younger.

As far as Schwartz could tell, Trump spent very little time with his family and had no close friends. In “The Art of the Deal,” Trump describes Roy Cohn, his personal lawyer, in the warmest terms, calling him “the sort of guy who’d be there at your hospital bed . . . literally standing by you to the death.” Cohn, who in the fifties assisted Senator Joseph McCarthy in his vicious crusade against Communism, was closeted. He felt abandoned by Trump when he became fatally ill from AIDS, and said, “Donald pisses ice water.” Schwartz says of Trump, “He’d like people when they were helpful, and turn on them when they weren’t. It wasn’t personal. He’s a transactional man—it was all about what you could do for him.”

6. Nope.

A real coup would have resulted in near instantaneous response from the military, including a countercoup of its own if necessary. All that exists is a flimsy, flimsy narrative for a rushed job to start the World War we didn't get when Hillary wasn't elected. They would be tripping over themselves to prove it to us, sources be damned, if the ACTUAL NATION were threatened.

Does no one remember Turkey had an actual, real coup not so long ago? Did the government just kind of sit back, and the remainder of the military carry on as if nothing was unusual?

He's detestable, he's disgusting in many ways, but he's not a traitor I don't think. I hope I'm not wrong, but ultimately it will not matter if I am because I have no power to influence decisions. I refuse to start thinking the worst of everyone, I don't care HOW much the paid shills plaster the site trying to radicalize all of us.

EDIT TO ADD: The Congresscritters, on the other hand...now that I could see. They're much more terrifying to me than the Trumpkin is (and for good reason, as they'll be the ones passing laws).

Secretary Clinton had plans to start a world war? Please provide evidence for your assertion.

Thank you in advance.

You just made a broad brush attack on the members of this community. It would behoove you to name names, the radicals and the paid shills. I/we need to know who is whom.

9. No. We elected Hillary.

What the EC did is another matter, and even that is now being called into question.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. I concur

11. Whether by design (tRump likely not bright enough) or sheer idiocy and ineptitude-

... there is no doubt in my mind that we have.

Though tRump is a shining example of ignorance, stupidity, arrogance (narcissism) ... there is no doubt in my mind much of his inner circle has deliberate plans and associations.

tRump is a useful idiot ... the others are even more sinister
