My Thoughts On Trump And Russia

Hey guys, and happy 4th of July! In honor of today, I thought I'd give you my thoughts on a specific case of potential treason: Donald Trump's supposed collusion with the Russian government in winning the 2016 election.

Here's how I always put it. Did Trump collude with Putin? I won't say he did, but I won't say he didn't.

I sure as hell wouldn't put it past Trump to collude with the Kremlin. He's a lifelong corrupt businessman with seemingly no real loyalty. (Remember that Trump identified as a progressive for a while). If you told me that Trump was in cahoots with Putin, I would totally believe it. And the intelligence community is virtually unanimous that Russia interfered in the election to help Trump.

That said, we have been investigating Trump and Russia connections for more than a year, and not much has come of it. We've found plenty of wrongdoers along the way, such as Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort. Firing James Comey looked rather suspicious, too. And the way that Trump and his team are always attacking the investigation and calling it fake news makes them look pretty guilty. Still, we have yet to find any concrete evidence of Trump's actual wrongdoing. And let's not forget that while the CIA may have a strong opinion, it's not like they've never gotten anything wrong before. Remember Saddam Hussein and WMDs?

So, let's let Robert Mueller and his team finish the job. (Do make sure that Trump haters who are sleeping together are off the investigation team, though. That's just embarrassing). Then, the results will be what they will be. In the meantime, let's not be too focused on it. Just like I said that the Democrats will ultimately lose if they're hyper-focused on DACA and ICE, (see my last post), the Democrats are fools to talk this much about Russia. Same goes for the media. Because if there turns out to be no evidence of collusion, Trump now has so much ammunition to say, "I told you it was fake news!" I do not want to give Trump and his supporters that much power.

Therefore, my position on Trump and Russia can be summed up in three words: wait and see.

Happy 4th of July!
