President Donald Trump Says Whistleblower Report Is 'Another Political Hack Job' | MSNBC
If he thought it was a political hack job why not declassify it to all and let his republicans defend his actions!
Exactly. If it was a totally appropriate conversation, why not release it to Congress as his own IG appointee wanted to have done? Trump is done.
@Nick Phongsa Hey Dumbfuck. It’s not too hard to understand. Trump said the conversations were completely appropriate. All he needs to do is let his appointed IG do his job and let him give the information to Congress. Why is he stopping it? (See the common sense in that statement?)
@Nick Phongsa No one filed a whistleblower complaint form on Obama and I didn’t say everything just the phone calls and Trump just said it himself it was a totally appropriate call. If so Trump has nothing to fear. Right?
Piteus X because Trump just told you… he told the press to keep running with it, he’ll let them hang themselves with it. Trump was cocky, which means he’s got something in the bag and we don’t know it yet…
@txhorn10 Trump has been “cocky” for his entire adult life. He’s also gone bankrupt 7 times. Being cocky didn’t help him then, and it won’t help him now.
This means it’s true then. If we go off of everything else Trump has made this claim on that turned out to be true.
One thing all Americans can agree on, this is the most corrupt and criminal Administration in US History.
@Pokarot Heard Bill Clinton was a frequent flyer 26 times on the Lolita Express and a regular WH visitor when Bill was in office….As for Trump, once, had a falling out with Epstein, even Epstein mistress no lolitas around Trump.
@e r GTFO. The Obama administration was clean. No remarks about him screwung his daughters, no stormy daniels, no paid wife that copy a speech, no running behind twitter when you’re defeated, no encouraging other countries to hack our systems, and Obama was actually elected by the people not the electoral college. Also, no second White House and at least Obama paid his share of taxes. This draft Dodger military, firefighter hating baffoon surpassed any president in idiocy.
@e r “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Mr. Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
@Eastwood Unforgiven Muslims can marry at below 10, what do you think, consent varies in different parts of the world, some say 17 and some 18 in various states….so your point is? Does it bother you older women going out with younger men or older men with younger women?
What a disgusting excuse for a human being!
maga serves allah
and mbs for cash.
Partisan whistleblower inside your government. COME ON MAN!
The question didn’t include Biden, but not surprisingly, the answer did.
So, which is it..you don’t know what conversation the whistleblower is referring to, or it was a “beautiful conversation”?
He doesn’t know which country they are referring to when he wants them to look into Joe Biden’s son.
Beautiful conversation, the Democrats did it, I’m going to win in twenty two oh. He says nothing of substance. Ever.
stevens others were caught in process crimes. And for things like tax evasion that they used to threaten or leverage to get confessions out of . No one was convicted of colluding to influence the outcome of a election. Clinton lost because she was a pandering sniveling, identity politician.
@Kevin stevens you’re very cliche . I you have do is step outside your echo chamber and stop your basic upload from keeping your thoughts on predestined rails and you can awaken from your intellectual stupor .
Dustin Klumpe more lies. TMZ. Really a gossip site. Laughable Trumpy was warned by the Obama administration about Flynn and Trumpy did listen
Dustin Klumpe they couldn’t prove intent but there was so much collusion. It is all over in the report. Trumpy just admitted on camera that he would take foreign help. You are okay with that?
He fights for himself and takes from all .. he’s a disgrace
Well said.
@j walsh good luck voting for cannibal harris or any other moron on the left.
A political hack job, by the Inspector General he appointed? Who’s stupid enough to believe that response???
The last six thousand “bombshells” you guys got your hopes up for turned out nothingburgers, enjoy seeing this one go down as fake news in about 24 hours.
@Glenn V Obviously you’re another Trump Sheep. Crimes can’t be pursued when Senate Trump Sheep and his own hand picked Attorney General refuse to hold him accountable. Enjoy the fact that your Dear Leader is a traitor to the country. He will be held accountable sooner or later.
@DWB womp womp
@Glenn V brilliant response. Run out of sheep chow?
Trump lies. Says he knows nothing about it, then explains it, then smears the whistleblower while hiding the evidence. Typical Trump tactic….
“It was a partisan person….meaning it comes out from another party”….this might be the most intelligent thing this Moron has ever said. How pathetic can this imbecile of a President get.
It’s sad though because he probably doesn’t even know that about the whistleblower. But why bother with facts?
@JoAnne Middaugh it’s beyond sad unfortunately. The Trump base and the Republicans who continue to support this crook/con artist is beyond sad and is disgusting.
This is like an old school Star trek episode we are living in. I just can’t believe the amount of crap that comes out his mouth.
Which episode? What was it about?
@Scott Scotsman the old gangster episode. Trump seems to be running the country like a old school mobster. Control the judges.
@a. barker https://youtu.be/zU1wrEKimV8
I see now what you mean.
Follow link to YouTube video clip of afore mentioned episode.
Can this freak show stop waving his creepy little hands around …WTF
Is it a micro aggression?
U can almost hear the little mouse running on the wheel in his big jug head.
Wtf is a beautiful conversation? Can’t wait to find out what the conversation was about and I have a feeling we’ll find out sooner than we think.
“Beautiful, totally appropriate conversation”. Why not release it then? So that we all can appreciate the beauty of it?
A President who would lie about the path of a hurricane would certainly lie about this. Don’t believe a word Trump says. Trust the whistleblower.
Taliban Trump is as good at damage control as he is stringing words together.
Question: Who changed the weather map with a Sharpie?
Trump lie: I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know.
Question: Was it the call to Ukraine on the 35th?
Trump lie: I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know.
Trump Repeatedly Pressed Ukraine President to Investigate Biden’s Son(WSJ).
