Trump just admitted to collusion with the Russians. On TV. And said there was nothing wrong with that. He just dares people to impeach him. This is a deeply disturbed and twisted man in the White House.
George Stephanopoulos interviewed Trump and asked him if he would accept info from a foreign power. He said yes, of course, why not?
"I think you might want to listen, there's not anything wrong with listening. If somebody called from a country, Norway, (and said) ‘we have information on your opponent' — oh, I think I'd want to hear it."
That is against the law, by the way. It is pretty close to treason which the Constitution defines as "adhering to the country's enemies" or "giving aid and comfort to them". Russia is an enemy of America. Russia is out to weaken and destroy democracy in the world, and most importantly, destroy democracy in America, the former leader of democracy in the world.
This president just said that he welcomes interference from a hostile foreign power, and in so doing he has effectively confessed that he already did welcome interference from a hostile foreign power, Russia, in the 2016 presidential election.
That alone is reason to impeach this totally unfit and corrupt imitation of a man. Do Republicans try to justify this as well as every other of his assaults on the decency, integrity, and goodness of America?
Trump's basic playbook is when presented with evidence of his crimes is to deny it first, then lie about it, then admit it and say there is nothing wrong with it. Just disgusting that so much of the country are OK with that.
Good grief.
