Says Putin wanted Clinton to win

Agence France-Presse
Wednesday 12 July 2017 23.38 EDT

... "We are the most powerful country in the world and we are getting more and more powerful because I’m a big military person. As an example, if Hillary had won, our military would be decimated," Trump said.

"That’s why I say, why would he want me? Because from day one I wanted a strong military, he doesn’t want to see that" ...

"Look. Something happened and we have to find out what it is, because we can’t allow a thing like that to happen to our election process. So something happened and we have to find out what it is," he said.

About Putin, he added: "Somebody did say if he did do it, you wouldn’t have found out about it. Which is a very interesting point."

He is seriously mentally ill. Shame on his family for not talking proper care of him. I'm not being sarcastic.

And I remember that Putin had to issue an order to the russian media in spring 2017 to be LESS friendly to Trump.

and he's smart and devious enough to know that you don't always need to blow things up to get it.

Why be afraid of our military when you can have a bloodless cyber 'war' by hacking, destabilising, sowing discord, and manipulating a man into power who you know is totally unqualified but is infatuated with $$$ so can be bribed/bought and thinks you and your country are the bees knees.

Putin's plan has been paying off in spades and he's laughing his butt off at the shitshow he had a major hand in producing.
