At last week’s press conference in which Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein indicted 12 Russians for hacking the Democratic National Committee, he made three things clear: 1. There was no evidence of Americans colluding with Russian officials to hack the DNC, 2. There weren’t any Americans involved, 3. The hack did not alter the election outcome. To insist otherwise is to contradict U.S. intelligence agencies, the very thing Trump’s critics are hitting him for.
To the surprise of no one, Trump’s critics never fail to say the dumbest things and to present them in the stupidest way possible. And many mainstream media outlets gave lots of airtime to the kookier critiques of Trump’s presser flap.
Trump’s Supporters Will Forgive If Soft Talk Bears Results
Trump’s supporters voted for a guy who promised different policies and tactics to improve relationships with countries the United States has long been at odds with, such as Russia. Taking a meeting with Putin — despite all the handwringing from the usual suspects that this violates decorum and the usual norms — is exactly what Trump promised that he would do when he ran for president. His political opponents (looking at you, Sen. Chuck Schumer) who say this meeting should have never taken place are just plain wrong, as maintaining the status quo with Russia failed miserably under presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton.
It’s also important to note that Trump’s supporters elected a tough guy who does not shy away from telling it like it is. He is not one to hold back and speak nicely to foreign leaders whose interests are contrary to ours (see: here and here and here and here). That’s a platform and demeanor he was elected on.
