'I think I’d take it': In exclusive interview, Trump says he would listen if foreigners offered dirt on opponents (crimes, elections)

No, you are an apologist for the KGB. You have called the KGB more honest than our intelligence agencies, therefore, to be trusted. Wow!

No wonder you voted that presidential candidates should not contact the FBI if the Russians interfere in our elections again.

Whose side are you on?


As I said the conservative movement is dead. Dead and buried.

No I mean like:

Reversing every EO of his predecessor's, because he was owned by predecessor at a Correspondents' Dinner.

Investigating the investigators who have already been thoroughly investigated

Accusing his predecessor of wire-tapping him and a million other things (jealousy).

Threatening to tax Mexico, China, and Europe in an impulsive act of revenge against perceived slights.

Telling people not to buy at Nordstroms because they stopped carrying the Princess Ivanka line.

Starting and perpetuating a Birther lie.

Threatening California with federal money (not his), among other things because they did not vote for
him and do not like him.

Insulting any celebrity or individual that criticizes him. (keep in mind this is a president, and they all
receive criticism).

Making disparaging remarks about Meghan Kelly and other women who he has perceived as having
slighted him.

Attacking Gold Star parents of a dead soldier because they criticized his bigoted rhetoric.

Suing anyone and everyone who looks cross-eyed at him.

Attacking Judge Curiel because he is of Mexican descent.

Tweeting crude insult about Bette Midler in the middle of the night while on a State Visit the day before
D-Day because she was mean to him.

Insulting world leaders who he has perceived dissed him.

I mean like that.

Feel free to jump in--I'm sure I've left out many threats and rude, boorish or dangerous actions for revenge of a perceived slight. He doesn't 'hit back.' He attacks and/or threatens anyone he thinks is not kissing his butt.

Your example is ludicrous...akin to dealing with a kidnapper and agreeing with him that you won't tell the cops. Except a lot worse because your reason for not telling is that it suits your own interests, not because you want to protect a loved one. As if Trump would even do THAT!

Yes, no kidding. Aside from the fact that the guy's example is ludicrous and poorly thought out, it must assume that the sister is also running for a political office. In any case, her life is in danger and both you and your sister go to the FBI or other law enforcement explain it to them and don't turn it into a political thing. Also, still lost as to how this is even a relevant example. Is the sister running against her husband as a political opponent? I am now dumber for having tried to even rationalize that guy's example.

Like head of the FBI and Trump appointee Chris Wray? Who, by the way, believes Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Trump has his own people running the swamp now. And even some of them know he's a traitor.

This is the second time he's done it on camera.

That's who many of them are, especially when Trump is getting bad press.

In that case, go kill someone and have them for dinner, after all, Jeffery Dahmer did it.

It's not me who thinks it's ok because others did it.....


It's you when you didn't give a fat rat's ass about it when they did.

You mean the swamp that Trump was supposed to clean out during his 2016 run? You trying to revive old talking points that never worked, that's why you don't hear anything about the swamp these days. That was a failed talking point, because it kept getting worst, Trump and his administration are knee deep in the swamp.

Left mad trump said he "would"


not mad Hillary hired a foreign national to go get fake information from Russians on her opponent.

Sure we are...but she's not President, not running NOW.

As I said -- Since the 2016 election there isn't a politician except Trump who would tell the world he would take info. about his opponent from a foreign govt.

If you want to debate who did it worse...that's another thread.
