Trump is only joking and shit-talking about causing a national security incident. Clinton actually caused one.
Yeah, except what makes him think that just because the Russians hacked the Dems doesn't mean they also can't get into the Republican emails?
And I guarantee it was not a joke when those words left Trump's mouth. That is a man who gleefully demands that a court be thrown out because the judge 'is biased against him because he's
MEXICAN' - which only makes sense even by Trump logic if you consider the infamous wall speech where Trump outright said all Mexcians were rapists, drug dealers, etc.
and then backpedaled in the same breath.
Plus, Benghazi was four years ago - the Russians hacking the Dems
is now. And Trump endorsed that espionage
on television, before all the backpedaling 'oh, it was just a joke!' shit came out
a day later.
I think Trump is a piece of shit, but honestly I can see why he did this. At the height of the DNC, tweets by Trump drew the attention back towards himself, and more importantly, drew more attention to the email scandal. It makes sense, and he can count on the WOAH WOAH GUYS I WAS JUST SPEAKING OFF THE CUFF defense he's been coasting on for a year and his mouthbreather fans will do the rest. Probably one of the more logically sound decisions he has made in a while.
Yeah, but that's the rub - once the email shit blows over (relatively speaking) then unless the Dems really screw up there isn't much for Trump to ride on. The dude's only lasting success was hosting The Apprentice, everything else has gone bankrupt, turned into a scam (which he tried to kill the lawsuit over by claiming the judge was biased
against him because of his race), has split the Republican party in half since even that crackpot Ted Cruz was sensible enough to not endorse his ass, and he has absolutely no credible foreign policy beyond trying to make Mexico pay for a wall that can not be built because
physics.
He talks big, but has absolutely nothing to back any of it up without having to play the comparison game to the Dems. And even jokingly encouraging a national security problem in the worst way is starting to really be worrying that this shithead legitimately has a chance of becoming the president.
