Capping a week of drama, back tracking, a double negative and blistering statements from allies about his attitude toward Russian election interference, President Donald Trump on Sunday was back to referring to "a big hoax."
Trump spent days trying to reassure the country that he accepts that the longtime foe interfered in the 2016 election after his public undermining of U.S. intelligence agencies in Helsinki while standing alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin. But Trump cast doubt once again in a Sunday tweet, diminishing at least the significance, if not the existence, of the interference and the U.S. investigation into Russia's actions. After a week of walkbacks, Trump returns to Russia doubting
E-X-A-C-T-L-Y what I said the NO-IQ,SUBHUMAN, TREASONOUS,RUSSIAN BUTT-KISSING,PILE OF EXCRETEMENT would do!
Bless your heart.
Most people don't care about the Russia collusion delusions.
If Trump admits that Russia meddled, it gives the Mueller investigation a reason to exist (in the eyes of the people). And if he admits Russia meddled, it probably means that while he is a our legitimate President it calls into question just how much help the meddling did in getting him there. Even if he was unaware that he was the primary benefactor of it.
I think many people are conflating Russian meddling with collusion and obstruction of justice. These are related but are not the same thing.
Collusion would be if Trump or his campaign worked together with foreign agents to release damaging information on his opponents.
Meddling in the election involves agents of a foreign country taking action to either discredit our electoral process (DNC hack for example) or to convince people to vote for a particular candidate (facebook propaganda, just an example).
Obstruction of justice would be if the President prevented the FBI (for example) from investigating the meddling or collusion
The point is, while these are related, they are NOT the same thing. It should be easy for him to admit that Russia meddled in our election. He loses nothing except maybe a bit of a hit to his ego - but he'd still be president. It is the common sense thing to do. Considering the man has such a low bar to step over in order to be considered doing a good job, this is an easy win. As easy of a win as not endorsing white supremacists or accepting support from David Duke.
But I think the problem is that his supporters don't understand the difference between these three things. You can accept meddling and reject collusion and obstruction of justice. But they can't. And neither can Trump. It is like saying that your team "won the game" due to a technicality. It is an empty victory, but it is still shows up in the win column and no one can take that away.

Last week, he criticized Obama for not doing anything.
Now, Trump is saying the whole "Russier thing" is a big hoax.
The thinking American people dont have any syndromes.
Trump supporters have an emotional attachment to Trump and welcome the doubt he instills in them .
This POTUS survives day to day by sowing the seeds of doubt.
He can't run tbe country. He is overwhelmed with truth .
