Trump asks, "Why didn't Obama do anything about it?"

Well, Obama did install sanctions on Russia and Putin. What is Trump going to do about those sanctions?

Also, Obama did kick out over 30 Russian "diplomats" and closed down two of their "properties" in two different states. What is Trump going to do about those "properties"?

Trump is wrong to suggest or say that Obama "did nothing".


Also, we know a lot more now than we did back in August of last year. What is Trump going to do about it? That is the question.

She's not great on "the last step" of a process or moving on to the next thing.

I channel President Bartlett a lot with "What's next?" too.

The complete lack of interest - actually ignoring it - from the Republicans about what 17 intelligence agencies have said happened in the election is more than telling.

You do what Obama did.

The more Trump avoids discussing (except to project or deflect) or taking action against Russia for interfering with our election the more he instead kisses up to Putin and Russia the worse he looks.

When you're truly great and have something worthy to offer... you don't need to lie, rig, hack, threaten and/or cheat to 'win'. That's not truly 'winning', doing so means you're a 'YUGE' loser down to your very core.

This is the most dimwitted, classless, moronic POS in the country and somehow he got elected.

who refused to allow an aggressive CLEAR assertion that Russia was trying to overthrow US govt by electing Trump. McConnell threatened to call it political and that threat could've led to civil war. President Obama did the right thing.

It will all come out when they take Trump and the GOP down.

Be patient. It's coming
