Russia to U.S., Trump: Sort out your own pre-election hacking scandal

We never poke our noses into others’ affairs

That's a lie. And we all know it.

Trump really stepped in it this time. Now he has the CIA and the NSA on his tail.

Dead duck.

I guess that's why he's named Donald.

Analysts say the Kremlin would welcome a Trump victory in November because the wealthy New York businessman has repeatedly praised Putin

Putin's often praised by many right wing reactionary and militaristic JT posters. A Put-in-trump alliance must seem heaven sent for them. I can't think of much that would frighten me more.

Foreign powers have nothing to do with Presidential Election in the USA they will accept and work with anybody whom Americans like and elect.

If Mr Trump and his charming communist block born wife were more transparent maybe they could alleviate some of the nations growing doubts about them.

Perhaps while the Trumps are accused of cozying up to Vlad Putin, they could demonstrate by releasing their tax returns to demonstrate they are not beholden to many many many Russian loans and Russian investments.

Release the tax returns, the nation is growing weary of Mr (Comrade?) trumps one trick dog and pony shtick.

Our national security DEMANDS we vet this guy better than we have, and his insistence no one will see his tax returns is a big big red flag that cant be ignored by anyone with eyes that wants to use them.

Day Two of the MSM Spin Machine.

Pure spin and innuendo from Reuters.

Hillary accused Russia of hacking, not Trump.

The scandal is hillary'S and Wikileaks, not Trumps or Russia.

No quotes from any Russian to warrant the headline that Trump needs to "sort" anything out.

He rejected Trump’s apparently sarcastic suggestion for Russia to dig up Clinton’s emails point-blank.

There it is, for all to see. Even the Russians know it was a sarcastic suggestion. Tells you something about the MSM and the Hillerites, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov is smarter than all of you.

Liberalism will die. It can only go so far with lies and deception. The DNC was caught in one of the worste election crimes one can commit and the liberal deny and deflect.

Sometimes people see through the smoke screen and see the lying, cheating selfish greedy selfish tactics.

Putin's often praised by many right wing reactionary and militaristic JT posters.

Well you have the wall and the attempt to ban immigrants, but beyond that I don't see Trump supporters talking about Trump at all. When he does something really stupid we have to endure a massive spike in Clinton references as conservatives try to steer every conversation away from Trump, even on articles about Trump. And more than a few of them went on record saying how much they dislike him before they realized he had them by the balls as the nominee. Now they're just kind of stuck and all they can do is go after Clinton, so that's what they all do every time in every article every day.

Donald Trump said was a sarcastic suggestion that Moscow should dig up Hillary Clinton’s “missing” emails.

Oh, get ready for a bunch of statements that turn sarcastic the next day.

This is Trump's problem. His lack of knowledge of how the world works and his desire to say sensational things will most likely cause issues should he become President. We can't have a President shooting his mouth off then coming back the next day to change his story. Governments react to that, and so do markets.

I'm not too worried about his actions. There are enough people around to stop him from doing something too dumb. It looks like he hasn't picked much of a team to surround him, but that might change. You never know. But I can't imagine his mouth will change and that would cause a lot of head shaking and embarrassment for us as a country.

Trump, the Republican Party’s presidential candidate, angered Democrats on Wednesday by inviting Russia to unearth tens of thousands of emails from rival Clinton’s tenure as U.S. secretary of state.

Why would this anger the Democrats? Do they got more cans of worms? -probably. And I'm sure HRC, herself, would not want to be "Locked up" if the truth was exposed by Russian hackers.

Putin wants Trump to be the US President because it'd be bad for America. Not saying Hillary would be better though.

I find it strange that neither Obama or HRC have criticized the DNC for sending those e-mails but instead are trying to deflect criticism of the DNC by accusing Putin and Russia of trying to interfere in US politics when it was the supposedly neutral DNC that was interfering in the Democratic primaries.

I find it strange that neither Obama or HRC have criticized the DNC for sending those e-mails but instead are trying to deflect criticism of the DNC by accusing Putin and Russia of trying to interfere in US politics

I find it strange too. Very strange. But I'm also very gratified by the very fact that during President Obama's speech yesterday @DNC, the protesters (Bernie Sander die hards) went absolutely ape-shit.

Unfortunately I don't find it strange. They ALWAYS spin it back the opposite direction. The problem is they actually believe the spin!

Not saying Hillary would be better though.

Only good news to me about Hillary is she's been in this game before. While still an establishment politician, she'll at least have more diplomacy and tactics for POTUS than Trump could scrape up.

There it is, for all to see. Even the Russians know it was a sarcastic suggestion. Tells you something about the MSM and yada yada...

Tells you something about inadequacies in basic literacy and the inability to follow more than one thread of thought.

The article did not state that the Russians believed Trumps comments were sarcastic. The Russians were reacting to the suggestion that they should look for emails from Clinton. The rejected that notion. The point about sarcasm only applied to what Trump had said on the subject.

Russia . . . rejected what Donald Trump said was a sarcastic suggestion

There it is, for all to see. I don't know about MSM, "Hillerites" (?) or Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, but I'm pretty sure there are a number of people out there who are significantly smarter than you right now.

Here I just thought Trump an egomaniac or at his worst a psychopath. As the election season unfolds, I fear we are finding out that he has a bunch of loose screws in his head. I appreciate freedom of speech protects the Donald's right to say almost anything, but can people seriously be stupid enough to vote for this lunatic?

Let's see Trump make similar sarcastic comments about the Russian's hacking the IRA database and then dumping his tax returns on Wikileaks. That might make me smile.

Well you have the wall and the attempt to ban immigrants, but beyond that I don't see Trump supporters talking about Trump at all.

What are Hillary supporters talking about? You know this BS talk of the Democrats and the anointed one claiming that everything with America is ok is a complete and outright lie. ISIS, battling radical Jihadism, The National debt, the ongoing racial problems that are dividing us, crumbling infrastructure, out of control welfare, the creation of high paying jobs, problems with Russia, China, North Korea, printing more and more money, absolutely nothing from the Dems! No talk, No mentioning of these issues, just a bunch of stars trying to revive Woodstock with songs and more flower power!

When he does something really stupid we have to endure a massive spike in Clinton references as conservatives try to steer every conversation away from Trump, even on articles about Trump. And more than a few of them went on record saying how much they dislike him before they realized he had them by the balls as the nominee. Now they're just kind of stuck and all they can do is go after Clinton, so that's what they all do every time in every article every day.

I think they realize, Trump is the guy to take a wrecking ball and destroy this thing we call the Washington Elite. For liberals it's a scary situation, if Trump were to become president, liberals would actually have to get a job and start to work and contribute to society.

This is Trump's problem. His lack of knowledge of how the world works and his desire to say sensational things will most likely cause issues should he become President. We can't have a President shooting his mouth off then coming back the next day to change his story. Governments react to that, and so do markets.

So you are saying having a woman that has a untrustworthy record, one of the highest and is unlikable and with the track record she has with emails, servers and people dying on her watch is better hire for this job, because you guys don't like Trump's outbursts? Remember, the markets and Governments react to this as well. It goes both ways.

I'm not too worried about his actions. There are enough people around to stop him from doing something too dumb.

Many of us feel the same about Hillary.

It looks like he hasn't picked much of a team to surround him, but that might change. You never know. But I can't imagine his mouth will change and that would cause a lot of head shaking and embarrassment for us as a country.

Let's hope he gets more vocal.

I think they realize, Trump is the guy to take a wrecking ball and destroy this thing we call the Washington Elite. For liberals it's a scary situation, if Trump were to become president, liberals would actually have to get a job and start to work and contribute to society.

Here we see the Republican deciding to talk about what he supports about Trump. And as you can see it's mostly just fuzzy, emotional catchphrases that he most likely made up on the spot that don't have much meaning at all.

So you are saying having a woman

And a few seconds later he falls back into the regular grind about Hillary. Trump has him by the balls. He supports a man he doesn't like.

What are Hillary supporters talking about? You know this BS talk of the Democrats and the anointed one claiming that everything with America is ok is a complete and outright lie.

That's darn right bass! Heck, one just need look outside the DNC venue in Philadelphia -absolute chaos. It's not okay.

No mentioning of these issues, just a bunch of stars trying to revive Woodstock with songs and more flower power!

Exactly. It's alread day 4 and they skipped all those issue. All they keep mentioning is "elect" the 1st female president, etc.

It's day 4, who will they parade onto the stage next? Caitlyn Jenner? To tell everyone which restroom we should use? The only thing worth watching next will be Katy Perry's live performance. Until then, I'll keep the flatscreen TV volume on mute.

Had a Democrat politician said what Trump said, he'd be called a traitor and a big commie. If Hillary Clinton were black, there's no doubt in my mind that they would have been preparing a noose at the RNC.

bassfunk:

Let's hope he gets more vocal.

Yes indeed. Talk about digging a deeper grave for himself. After this election is over, we'll probably find out that Trump was asked to throw his hat into the ring with the main aim of destroying the GOP. He's already succeeded. What's sad is that so many Americans (the less intelligent ones) are that gullible.

The article did not state that the Russians believed Trumps comments were sarcastic. The Russians were reacting to the suggestion that they should look for emails from Clinton. The rejected that notion. The point about sarcasm only applied to what Trump had said on the subject.

Russia . . . rejected what Donald Trump said was a sarcastic suggestion.

Are you drunk? You even used the quote that proves you wrong.

Yes indeed. Talk about digging a deeper grave for himself.

That's why Hillary is lacking in specifics because she knows if she opens her mouth, she's actually lacking in it.

After this election is over, we'll probably find out that Trump was asked to throw his hat into the ring with the main aim of destroying the GOP. He's already succeeded. What's sad is that so many Americans (the less intelligent ones) are that gullible.

Not so sure about that. You could make the argument about Hillary voters being gullible, because having the first woman as president is more important than the actual woman or her lack of policies.

Here we see the Republican deciding to talk about what he supports about Trump. And as you can see it's mostly just fuzzy, emotional catchphrases that he most likely made up on the spot that don't have much meaning at all.

I am not a Republican and there is nothing emotional or cerebral about what I'm saying, but on the other hand, you liberals are getting sweaty feet because you have a candidate that is highly unpopular and one that people can't trust, has a problem with blue collar men, veterans and you guys don't want to face reality or deal with it.

And a few seconds later he falls back into the regular grind about Hillary. Trump has him by the balls. He supports a man he doesn't like.

So what you're saying, we should give Hillary a pass because you guys do? Again, I have yet to see liberals criticizing your candidate about something, anything. You never in 8 years criticized Obama, so why would you start now?

It's amusing how low the Repubs have fallen. They are swooning over a traitor with a Soviet sleeper agent wife, lying and cheating about their backgrounds to get ahead. I wonder if Reagan would have approved

@bass there is nothing emotional or cerebral about what I'm saying

Thanks for your honesty.

I hope and believe that Trump will fail in becoming President, but moreover I hope it bankrupts him, this time for good. This guy is so dodgy that he should be avoided like the plague. He deserves nothing less.

It's day 4, who will they parade onto the stage next? Caitlyn Jenner?

Actually, she's a Republican. Like many Republicans in America, she votes against her own interests.

I wonder why the RNC didn't invite her. They thought Scott Baio was good enough. Lol... Scott Baio.

If Hillary Clinton were black, there's no doubt in my mind that they would have been preparing a noose at the RNC.

Obama is 1/2 Black. Yet after he defeated Mc Caine & Palin, there were no nooses. The Republicans just lost, but it was fair n' square. (not rigged, like the (D) primaries 2016).

Had a Democrat politician said what Trump said, he'd be called a traitor and a big commie.

Had a Democrat said anything near what Trump said, he/she would have been grasping reality. Not somewhere off in never-never land pretending that everything is okay.

People are dying in USA, France & Germany. Cops are being targeted in the US. A revolution is being born in Philadelphia, just outside the DNC venue. Thank you Democrats.

Thanks for your honesty.

No problem, I always believe in being honest, I just wish Hillary would as well.

Actually, she's a Republican. Like many Republicans in America, she votes against her own interests.

And libs don't?

I wonder why the RNC didn't invite her. They thought Scott Baio was good enough. Lol... Scott Baio.

Wait a minute, you guys are laughing at Baio. We have a former SNL washed up NOT even funny comedian/actor in the Senate, now that's the real joke. Also, If Jenner wanted to go, he can go, No one was stopping him. Trump was the first GOP to insist that the LGBT community need to be protected, the myth and lie of liberals thinking that the GOP is homophobic was finally put to rest with that comment and you can hear the applause indicating that the people agree, if they didn't, they would have booed and they didn't.

Insult and diversion right super. The way of the left.

Wait a minute, you guys are laughing at Baio.

Yup. They should've not bothered with celebrities if that's the best they could do. Lol... Scott Baio.

We have a former SNL washed up NOT even funny comedian/actor in the Senate, now that's the real joke.

Well, Al Franklin is in the senate because the people keep electing him. Judging by his high approval rating, they seem satisfied with the job he's doing. And the GOP may have come around now, but the fact that they were the party that welcomed homophobes (i.e., religious fundamentalists), not the LGBT community, in the past is not a myth. Saying otherwise is just not being honest.

FizzBitJUL. 29, 2016 - 07:55AM JST Day Two of the MSM Spin Machine.

Then the Dems should have told Stuart Smalley to stay at home then. ROFL

Another thread where Trump "supporters" work to remove Trump from the conversation.

Did he do something wrong?

It's not racists. Its the truth. What's really alarming is how the Democrats rigged the primaries. Why aren't any posters like you raising your eyebrows? Look at what's going on outside DNC. Its a sea of madness.

THAT'S what I really want to know!!

HRC on gun control: "I'm not here to take your guns." (Phew!!) That was reassuring. She wants to keep them out of the hands of terrorists and criminals. Guess that excludes me. . . I'm all for it.

Now can we enhance stricter than strict laws in cities like Chicago, Detroit and LA? Lock up these thugs & throw away the key.

Then the Dems should have told Stuart Smalley to stay at home then. ROFL

Hey chuckles, you support a failed businessman/con-artist turned reality show star who has yet to be elected to any office... If you want to criticize Franken on policy, fine, but making fun of his comedian past? That's the best you got? And at least Franken was trying to make people laugh. Unlike Scott Baio... Lol..

It's a blue state, what do you expect?

Yup, and it's one of the most economically successful states. How are all those red states down south doing?

So then you support the Democrats embracing and owning up to their racism. You guys do advocate honesty, so do I.

If you want to make a claim about your honesty, don't precede it with a dishonest statement. Or do you think it's a coincidence that racists like David Duke prefer the Republican party and now support Trump?

Now can we enhance stricter than strict laws in cities like Chicago Exactly. A general ban on new sales of semi autos, and universal checks to close loopholes. But this seems to be going state-by-state anyway.

Now can we enhance stricter than strict laws in cities like Chicago, Detroit and LA?

Totally cool with that. The nut who'd driven to LA to attack a parade celebrating gay rights just after the Pulse shooting was detained initially due to gun laws - the assault rifles he was carrying were illegal under California law.

Let's enhance these laws and enforce them to take dangerous individuals off of the streets - and, more importantly, to prevent future wayward youth from falling into this lifestyle. I'm glad you agree, Wc, that such measures would be for the great benefit of society.

To moderator: Removed "impolite" reference.

Then the Dems should have told Stuart Smalley to stay at home then. ROFL

You support a failed businessman/con-artist turned reality show star who has yet to be elected to any office... Laugh it up. If you want to criticize Franken on policy, fine, but are you really making fun him for his comedian past? And at least Franken was trying to make people laugh. Unlike Scott Baio... Lol...

It's a blue state, what do you expect?

Yup, and it ranks within the top most economically successful states. How are all those red states doing? Here's a hint.

Now, if Trump were an elected official, you just might have a valid argument, but....

My argument was that you really can't criticize Franken for his past when you support a man with Trump's history.

Oh, by the way, I think people laughed more when Baio was on Happy Days and Charles in charge, a bit more memorable.

That's a matter of opinion. Has he done anything beyond the 90s? I guess he was okay as Bob Loblaw (pretty fitting name now) in Arrested Development, but the credit belongs to the writers there.

Ahh, that's why so many people are leaving and going to red States. Sure, they're doing well, but ONLY the rich elites can only afford them.

Your mass exodus is an exaggeration bordering on myth. I don't think you understand the factors considered when determining economic success. Here's some information. Now be honest and tell me which states are doing better.

And why not? Franked is NOT running to be president and Trump has created jobs at least. Hillary? Zero.

I agree, but you can't say the BLM is not a racist organization when they are responsible for getting a bunch of officers murdered. It boils down to this, either you want Hillary or you want Trump, chicken or fish, those are your options, so if you want more government, entitlements, more wages down, stagnant growth, racism, division and the same foreign policy a GDP below 0.3 sluggish, and the same policies over the last 8 years, vote for Hillary, if you want something different, new direction, someone strong and has the fortitude to create jobs with a proven record and fix the problems of the last 8 years, vote for Trump.

but you can't say the BLM is not a racist organization It was created because of the racist acts against blacks

Trump has created jobs at least What jobs? And how many? Compared to real businesspeople like Bill Gates (who would be a better president than Trump)?

but you can't say the BLM is not a racist organization It was created because of the racist acts against blacks

The shooter in Dallas admitted he was influenced by the BLM. Chanting: "What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now! or Pigs in blanket, fry them like bacon" isn't exactly a peaceful organization, in fact, one could say, militant in its message.

Trump has created jobs at least What jobs? And how many? Compared to real businesspeople like Bill Gates (who would be a better president than Trump)?

Over the years thousands: Construction, casinos, hotel resorts, golf courses, for his other apparels, wines etc. The point is, creating jobs is creating jobs, NOT government, private sector jobs.

The shooter in Dallas admitted he was influenced by the BLM Murderers can be influenced by anything. Semi autos need a general ban.

Over the years thousands: Construction, casinos, hotel resorts, golf courses, for his other apparels, wines etc. The point is, creating jobs is creating jobs, NOT government, private sector jobs. Highly highly exaggerated. And it was companies using his name anway and they did a very poor job at it (like Trump University or Trump steaks...snicker snicker). His company is not even fortune 500 and he's not even one of the top family names in NYC (more like no. 5). Now compare that to the accomplishments of a real businessman like Gates and you will see that Trump is a poor....a very very poor choice for president. If you invest your money in Trump you can kiss it good bye. But invest it in Microsoft and it is relatively safe. Why would I vote for someone I would never trust my money with? But if Bill Gates ran he would be a much better choice than Trump. Trump University...snicker snicker. Trump Steaks, now that is a big laugh.

No, it's not a myth, a few months ago.

http://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/california-wont-fall-into-the-sea-its-moving-to-texas-instead/

And how many people move from Texas and every other state to California every year? Funny how your article doesn’t touch on that. Also, it's not surprising that the ALEC, an organization whose mission is "reducing regulation and individual and corporate taxation, combating illegal immigration, loosening environmental regulations, tightening voter identification rules, weakening labor unions, and opposing gun control" (from Wikipedia) has nothing good to say about California.

If businesses choose to leave to avoid paying taxes, that's on them. Meanwhile, the numbers show that they do nothing for the middle and lower classes of the red states they move to.

It's funny that you accuse Clinton of being corrupt without addressing the root cause of corruption. It's the influence of money in our government and policies. Where does this money come from? The very kind of businesses that would rather pay off politicians in red states than pay taxes and workers in blue ones.

And it was companies using his name anway and they did a very poor job at it (like Trump University or Trump steaks...snicker snicker).

Sure, I get it, but he provided jobs, people worked, got paid, were able to put food on their table, let's stay focused for a moment, I am not going to dispute if the construction was cruddy or not, point is, people worked for a salary under Trump, that's the bottom line.

His company is not even fortune 500 and he's not even one of the top family names in NYC (more like no. 5). Now compare that to the accomplishments of a real businessman like Gates and you will see that Trump is a poor....a very very poor choice for president.

That was never the issue, Trump created jobs, we are not talking about fortune 500. Obama and Hillary NEVER created a job or signed a paycheck or worked in the private sector and the way Obama has been running the country, that's evident.

people worked for a salary under Trump, that's the bottom line.

Until those businesses went belly up, while he made off like a bandit.

Trump is not releasing his Tax Returns. K, that's pretty shady. But it's not nowhere near the culpable, irresponsible, treasonous and deceitful behavior of HRC. What else is she hiding??

It's bad enough Debbie W. Shultz resigned suddenly. It's bad enough she has accepted the nomination of the Democratic Party. . . . through rigged primaries and falsehoods after falsehoods after Lies.

No need to mention how many of those people subsequently got laid off because the businesses tanked, of course.

Obama and Hillary NEVER created a job or signed a paycheck or worked in the private sector and the way Obama has been running the country, that's evident.

Oh yes, because working in the private sector automatically qualifies someone to be president, doesn't it. Just look at Dick Fuld, Bernie Maddoff or Fred Goodwin.

I agree, Wc. Trump not showing his taxes is pretty shady.

I agree, Wc. Trump not showing his taxes is pretty shady.

Then by this logic, you must also agree the Democratic Part and their crooked nominee are even shadier. Right SuperLib?

apparels Yeah! Trump apparels made in China. ha ha

Not showing tax returns? So what if it's legal. But it would embarrass Trump since he is worth a lot less than he says. A lot less than Bill Gates.

Democratic Part and their crooked nominee No, that's Trump with his Trump U. lawsuits. Also, his corporate bankruptcies. Multiple bankruptcies. And how many bankruptcies did Bill Gates go through? None.

I see what you mean. I'm still waiting for the specifics on how Bill Gates stole from Steve Jobs. Strike zero.

And here i'm grabbed my popcorn and watching what happens next.Seriously rising tension at sout china sea and U.S. presidential elections.Well i think ww3 much closer than we think

Sure, I get it, but he provided jobs Yes, and lots of jobs to non Americans with his apparels business. Sorry, it's so hard not to laugh at this.

people worked, got paid, were able to put food on their table Yes, in China....snicker snicker

And how many people move from Texas and every other state to California every year? Funny how your article doesn’t touch on that.

No, don't try. As a native Californian, I see the demographics changing, you are having more foreigners coming in, which is a good thing, but as taxes are rising and people are struggling paycheck to paycheck, native Americans are leaving and most are being replaced by Asians, Chinese and Koreans to be exact and Indians other developing countries and now are working to move themselves up the economic ladder. People are tired of the crime, taxes, living costs, that is why you see a massive exodus to places like Texas or Arizona.

Also, it's not surprising that the ALEC, an organization whose mission is "reducing regulation and individual and corporate taxation, combating illegal immigration, loosening environmental regulations, tightening voter identification rules, weakening labor unions, and opposing gun control" (from Wikipedia) has nothing good to say about California.

The very kind of businesses that would rather pay off politicians in red states than pay taxes and workers in blue ones.

I have been addressing Hillary's corruptions for years and years now. Pretty much all politicians are corrupt, but Hillary is the queen of sleekness and corruption,

No need to mention how many of those people subsequently got laid off because the businesses tanked, of course. Oh yes, because working in the private sector automatically qualifies someone to be president, doesn't it. Just look at Dick Fuld, Bernie Madoff or Fred Goodwin.

Compared to how Hillary left NY as a Senator, a drop in a bucket. Again, please stay focused, did Trump provide jobs or not, the answer is Yes, undeniable and factual, that's the only point I wanted to make as a private citizen, that's what he did, that some of his businesses failed is not the point of discussion. Also, I never said, working in the private sector qualifies you to be president, but that also doesn't mean, just because you didn't work in the private sector and worked as a government official it qualifies to be president.

I have been addressing Hillary's corruptions for years and years now. Really? How many court cases are there against her? And how many against Trump?

did Trump provide jobs or not Yes, to the Chinese for his apparel business...ha ha ha. How about Bill Gates? Not only did he create many many jobs (both inside and outside the USA) he also has created sound investments. Now how about Trump and his investors?

that some of his businesses failed But he failed all of his investors. You were a CEO once so you should know. Would you hire Trump to work for the company you ran?

Not only did he create many many jobs (both inside and outside the USA) he also has created sound investments. Now how about Trump and his investors?

See, you made my point for me, either way domestic and internationally, he created jobs. Kudos.

See, you made my point for me, either way domestic and internationally, he created jobs. Kudos. I was talking about Bill Gates- not Trump. As a former CEO of a corporation yourself would you choose Trump to run a major corporation considering his poor record for providing sound investments?

would you choose Trump to run a major corporation considering his poor record for providing sound investments?

Given his experience overall in business, yeah, I would.

Well i think ww3 much closer than we think

Even better to have real leadership in America. "If" you have not noticed, we've become weaker & weaker. Giving Iran deals. Snubbing Isreal. Buddy-buddy w /Cuba. Invitation free for all of islamic refugees. Invitation for illegal immigrants from the slums, cartels of mex-central america. Neglecting veterans etc.

Getting booted out of Iraq / Syria. ISIS is "contained" -not. Assad's days are numbered -not. Iran's elite forces seizure of US Naval property and those sailors. Law Enforcement Officers being assassinated. Meanwhile thugs go around shouting "BLM" & "BROWN Lives Matter."

Like Rudy G. (R) NY said: What happened!! All lives should matter!

A-M-E-R-I-C-A first!! Yes. Uh-Hmm, what happened to that? Go Trump!!

Bet you guys a million USD that the main reason Trump is running for POTUS is because it's on his bucket list.

Compared to how Hillary left NY as a Senator, a drop in a bucket. Again, please stay focused, did Trump provide jobs or not, the answer is Yes, undeniable and factual, that's the only point I wanted to make as a private citizen, that's what he did, that some of his businesses failed is not the point of discussion.

No, it's a point you made in a discussion, not the point of the discussion. Who said you got to decide what the point of the discussion was? Incidentally, would you consider having this discussion face-to-face with someone that Trump had hired and then fired? See what they think of you praising him for being a job creator. Like some of the military veterans who got fired when they needed time off for Reserve duties, for instance.

Also, I never said, working in the private sector qualifies you to be president, but that also doesn't mean, just because you didn't work in the private sector and worked as a government official it qualifies to be president.

But you do seem to be of the opinion that private sector people are inherently superior to those in the public sector, don't you? The fact that you have "Clinton," "Obama" and "never worked in the private sector" in the same sentence speaks volumes, considering the hours and hours you must have put in to venting your loathing of them.

Not only did he create many many jobs (both inside and outside the USA) he also has created sound investments. Now how about Trump and his investors?

See, you made my point for me, either way domestic and internationally, he created jobs. Kudos.

Did you actually bother to properly read what that post said? It doesn't look like it.

HonestDictator - Nah, Trump's running because, like the majority of Americans, he can't stand to see what's happening to our country and wants to do something about it. Check this out on Youtube: "ELECTIONS 2016: Donald Trump Interview from 80's (Business Man, Visionary & Leadership) pls share"

He ain't changed much ( his views, ha ha )

@Serrano. Yeah, that was a good vid. Hillary has lots of experience in politics too, an old (D) cat who's been around the block. Trump needs to be careful during 1st debate.

But he's got wayyy too much dirt on Hillary as a result of the "rigged" primaries vs Sanders. Hillary & Shultz have dug their own ditch. Bet if Alan Greenspan were alive, he wouldn't underestimate Donald Trump. Now "he" was one financial cat who affected multiple global economies and their product.

Russia doesn't "poke" it just invades.

Did you actually bother to properly read what that post said? It doesn't look like it. You are the one who says Trump is a world class business leader even though any investor in the Trump name can kiss their money goodbye (including yours). Are you sure he is a competent business manager? Can you equate Trump to someone like Bill Gates or Jeffery Immelt. If Trump suddenly became CEO of GE the stock would take a nosedive. And you would hire him to be a CEO of a real company (not some Mickey Mouse Trump company)?

".... his charming communist block born wife"

Yugoslavia stopped being part of the communist block in 1948.

Russia to U.S., Trump: Sort out your own pre-election hacking scandal

Russia is right. "Its ur mess clean it up." Obama is too pc to say that. He'd rather lie & say its all gooood. But its not, obviously. Look at the chaos in Philly past 4 days. Weeping, political violence, gnashing of teeth, pulling out their hair & fighting the corruption plagued by DNC / (D) primaries. Again, why did HRC delete so much email??

Mr. Gates Better than liking Trump. You actually think Trump is a good businessman. I bet you are so gullible to what Trump says you would put your money in the Trump name thinking it's a more secure investment than Microsoft. And you think that you can fight SEAL TEAM SIX with an AR (snicker snicker). Yes, you will need a lot more than an AR. Do you think tyranny can be fought against with just an AR?

BTW, what is wrong with Bill Gates?

Please don't vote if ur an American Only a dictator would say that. I would never say don't vote for a business loser. You are free to vote for a business loser and you will. Never ever ever say to another American (that is if I am one) not to vote. That is the mentality of Saddam Hussein and it shows you would support a dictator. So I say to you,yes, vote for people like Sarah Palin and David Duke if you really want to.

Donald Trump is killing slowly his chance for becoming President of United State by his loses Machine Gun mouth. Russian and Chinese Government may be preferred Donald Trump as US President on his current policy about US relationship with its alliance in Asia - Pacific. However, they should be caution about their interfering in US election because unruly nature of Donald Trump and his stupidity and foolishness.

But he's got wayyy too much dirt on Hillary as a result of the "rigged" primaries vs Sanders.

The Democrats must have learned a few things from the masters when it comes to rigging primaries. Look what happened to McCain in South Carolina in 2000.

Trump's running because, like the majority of Americans, he can't stand to see what's happening to our country and wants to do something about it.

Trumps is more of a figurehead nowadays, a spokesperson. He went from building real estate to putting his name on steaks and universities. Even if you sincerely believe he wants to help America, surely you must know that he has no real plans. That's the risk Republicans are taking.
