Does anyone else remember this?

Just a few days after the election, Trump dropped his demands that Hillary Clinton be locked up, and talked about the Clintons being "good people." Now he seems to be back on the warpath, demanding that she be investigated.

I don't claim to know for sure, but this looks to me like the behavior of a man who is feeling the heat, and would dearly love to deflect some of it.

I remember but this seems to be very typical of Trump and very childlike too. One would think that he would move on and stop this behavior, at the least you would think someone in his party would tell him that it's hurting him. And they might of told him that and if they have it seems to make him deflect even more to take the heat off him.


Which makes him look worse.

The man who was bringing charges to the Clintons for not giving the charity money that was collected for Haiti was murdered. Just another killing from those good people the Clintons.

The man's demented. Even Republicans are rolling their eyes at his latest line of BS.

Republicans went after the Clintons for decades. No stone left unturned. No rumor too vile to spread. Even they realize that this is going nowhere.

There's a team of top notch prosecutors and at least two grand juries looking into what team Trump was and is up to with the Russians.

Instead of tearing around in golf carts like an 8 year old, and trying to stir up some phony investigation, he might consider hiring a couple competent lawyers, maybe some who have experience in these matters and don't get into arguments with themselves on TV.

That is true, but the thing is, it's really just one example of what I consider to be one of his fatal flaws: for the most part, he has no real core beliefs, other than his dislike of immigrants and Muslims. Hillary's alleged misdeeds are of interest to him only when they are politically useful. A friend of mine, who voted for Trump mostly because of her intense dislike of Hillary, was very disappointed that he had apparently dropped the issue after the election. My response was something along the lines of, "He won, what's the point now? There is nothing further for him to gain." Now, it appears that there is, at least in his estimation.

I fear that this is how he regards most people and most issues: as tools. I know most politicians flip flop now and then, but I have never seen one do it so shamelessly and blatantly, and with so little backlash from his or her base. That may be the most disturbing thing of all: there seems to be, among his true believers, no such thing as going too far.

This is a lie.

Bearing false witness is a sin.

Im sure the president has the power to call for an official investigation into Clintons supposed wrong doings.Why he doesnt do it? because all his bluster about Clinton being a crooked/corrupt/criminal will be shown for what it really is,pure bs. just like the previous posts slanderous implication that Hillary is out there murdering people.

I can't reply directly to Taratova, as they are on my ignore list, but I am making no argument for or against the Clintons. This thread is about Trump.

Trump is even lying about disliking immigrants. He married two and imports hundreds to work at his properties.

Until the two years ago, he never said word one about Muslims either.
