He still does not believe that the Russians interfered or meddled in the 2016 elections. Well, he does, but not really, because it could be them along with individuals and other countries, totally undermining the US intelligence certainty that they did so.
45 raised a very good point though that makes it very hard to argue with the guy. He basically said, so you want me to listen to intelligence that said there were weapons of mass destruction during the Bush Administration in Iraq, but there were no weapons...I mean, no one can argue that point! Jim Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence, thinks they've instituted barriers to avoid that sort of mistake, and 45 continues to use that mistake to undermine the effectiveness of the intelligence.
However, it is probably not a good idea to make the US intelligence look so fragile. It is a really bad strategy. I feel like 45 is still all about the art of the deal. I do not think that there is a move that he makes that is not calculated. They may not include much wisdom or knowledge but they are always calculated.
But what could his strategy be. I think the man simply idolizes the power of Vladimir Putin, President of Russia. I personally believe that 45 wants to silence the power of the democracy so that he can have the same sort of dictatorship as Putin.
When 45 went after the Americans that were struggling from lack of employment and was making promises of jobs and stabilizing the job market for their field of work I thought it was strange, but the politics game is all about strategy, so on the surface, it was politics.
When 45 was dissing the media and attempting to minimize its effectiveness after using the very tools of the media to become popular enough to run for office I thought it was strange, but the politics game is all about strategy, so on the surface, it was politics.
In 45's mind, I think he has an agenda to gain a similar power as Putin. Maybe, this is why he thinks that completely disregarding the US Constitution is fair. But, I also think the joke is on him. I believe he's up against intelligence that he would never be able to conquer or understand. Former President Barack Obama was criticized for not having a more firm backbone against Russia, not just when he found out about the meddling in the elections, but prior to as well. But there are some people that are not worth the battle, especially when you're more powerful than they are, President Obama, had this wisdom. Forty-five does not, for him it's all about power and control...and he's just not smart enough to realize he's being pimped in the process. He's not battling with them; he's in a strange agreement with them, not personally, but on their level of control their own people. Check out the special on CNN about Putin.
