Donald Trump is currently being investigated by Mr. Mueller for the possibility that his campaign team colluded with Russian interference in the American elections of 2016. From what has been learned from other sources, and especially from Mr. Trump’s many tweets, I believe that there was indeed some minor coordination between Trump campaign workers and the Russians. However, I believe that any crimes that were committed were fairly minor in nature and carried out at arm’s length from Mr. Trump.
For me, the first significant piece of evidence is Mr. Trump’s warning that any investigation of his finances would cross a red line. This strikes me as rather like the driver who has been pulled over by the police for a broken tail light blurting “Whatever you do, DON’T look inside the trunk!” On many occasions Mr. Trump has tweeted his denials of any connection with Russia. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
Trump’s financial relationship with Russian individuals and companies goes all the way back to 1987. When he traveled to Russia to investigate the possibility of a hotel deal. He made a more concerted effort to build several properties in Moscow in 1996. This took place immediately after he suffered major setbacks in 1995 and declared losses totaling nearly a billion dollars. It was during this time that, I believe, he made a number of deals the upshot of which was to launder dirty Russian money through Trump real estate, and his operations in Russia have continued ever since. I have no direct evidence of this, but Mr. Trump in early 2017, in response to stories about his Russian financial ties, emphatically denied any financial ties to Russia, tweeting “Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!” A few months later, Sean Spicer again denied any financial ties to Russia. The fact that Mr. Trump has been so emphatic about denying any connection with Russia strongly suggests to me that his crimes involve Russian finance.

>It's actually incredible how out of touch the GOP leadership, the Fox News board and RINO'S are from the Republican voter base. All of them work for either the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; a globalist whoring outfit; AIPAC and the ADL; Zionist saboteurs who want the U.S. majority non-European; or Wall Street and London banks and law firms; whose interests can only be described as unremitting evil.

My guess is that Mr. Mueller’s investigation will not find any criminal activity on Mr. Trump’s part with respect to collusion with the Russians during the 2016 electoral campaign. At the same time, I expect that, if that investigation is completed, it will find Mr. Trump guilty of serious financial crimes involving laundering Russian money.

Any of you still have a tape player around? I found this tape...
Mr. Trump is utterly unprepared for the complexities of international relations. Mr. Putin will flatter him and obtain his acquiescence to Russian aggressions in Eastern Europe. In particular, Mr. Putin will seize the Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) under the guise of “restoring order” to countries that he himself will have destabilized. These are NATO countries, and NATO has pledged to defend them. Mr. Trump will refuse to take action against Mr. Putin, and NATO will collapse. The European Union will set up its own military force, but it is already facing serious internal fractures that might well tear it apart. If so, Mr. Putin will be free to re-establish Russian control over Eastern Europe and the Finlandization of Western Europe.
These developments will move rather quickly, because Mr. Putin does not want to lose the opportunity given him by the four years that Mr. Trump will serve as President. He’ll spend the first year or two buttering up Mr. Trump, and will then make his move in 2018 or 2019. Russia will resume the superpower status that the Soviet Union had enjoyed.

Give me a good documentary to watch /ptg/. I'm in the mood for behind the scenes politics stuff. Any era or country. Just watched the 4-part BBC documentary "Inside the NY Times Reporting on Trump's first year" and "The Final Year" on Netflix about 2016 during the end of the Obama Presidency and I need more comedy material.

But the more serious problem will arise with China. In Mr. Trump’s puerile perception, China is a “bad guy” who must be opposed. He has already promised to declare China a “currency manipulator”, which will subject China to trade penalties. China will of course retaliate, which in turn will anger Mr. Trump, causing him to escalate the confrontation. It will appear to be nothing more than a nasty trade dispute, but meanwhile, China will seize the opportunity to establish suzerainty over East Asia. Mr. Trump’s idiotic rhetoric about making allies pay for their defense will, of course, undermine their confidence in American security assurances. Already resistance is crumbling with the Philippine’s own version of Mr. Trump, Mr. Duterte, thinking that he’ll play off the USA and China against each other — which of course won’t happen. Instead, Mr. Duterte will end up a Chinese client. Vietnam will probably be the next nation to fold, trying to negotiate a favorable surrender to Chinese interests. After that, we’ll see Taiwan give in to Chinese suzerainty. Japan and Korea will try to hedge their bets by a two-pronged strategy. On the one hand, they may well yield to Chinese demands that they ban American military facilities in their countries. But they might also seek to develop their own nuclear weapons.
There will be much danger during this transitional phase. My fear is that Mr. Trump will figure out — too late — that he has been taken for a chump, and react with his typical temper tantrum. He’ll shove an American aircraft carrier group right into the middle of the South China Sea, the Chinese will nuke it, and then he might well launch an all-out nuclear war.
Repost AWOO me Shit at this rate we'll need SubVersioN numberings to keep track of current_year or TRUMP_CURSE_2018_07_22 (because of ISO 8601 and english britbongs who put days before months for damn reason) >en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 Holy shit, we can now claim Trump's Curse is ISO compliant!
I love how the media just doesn't matter at all anymore. Actually they probably would matter if they sided with Trump. That might actually hurt his numbers.

FUCK TRUMP. FUCK THE SYSTEM. You morons want real change? stop looking into these political systems. Trump is just another ZOG Shill. >No Wall >No Clinton Arrest >No Muslim Ban >Continuing Middle-East Conflict >Arming Shitsrael more >Attacking Syria twice >Letting out that Jew that Stole millions, billions? >Nikki Haley >Giving Jerusalem to the JOOS >Pointing Another Joo in the Federal Reserve It is all bullshit. Fuck it to hell.
The more outraged the media is, the more confident I feel that Trump is doing the right thing. If the media started praising him, I would be very suspicious.

>That might actually hurt his numbers. Jej, the mainstream media could tank Trump's numbers anytime they wanted. Think, for instance, when he entertained at the idea of giving amnesty not to 800k DACA recipients but to 1.6 million, couple with a path to citizenship. The media reaction was > THIS IS NOT ENOUGH, FUCK TRUMP AND FUCK WHITE PEOPLE That obviously was the reaction he expected in the first place and it took that issue out of the hands of the democrats.
Imagine if the media had played it like this: > Thank you Trump! By following the merciful footsteps fo Reagan you are proving you are a friend to the hispanic community and that your hard words on immigration are actually just pandering to a segment of your voting base. Thanks for the constructive step, we always knew we could count on your NY values when it mattered.
Trump numbers would tank as hard as it possibly can, it could have been the death knell of his presidency. Instead Joe taunted him with "Amnesty Don", he hardened his position, his base was satisfied and his poll numbers improved.

FISA docs absolutely destroy their narrative and prove that several of their people lied under oath
Elijah Morgan
FISA warrant is public; Dan Harmon deleted his Twitter to hide his pedo Tweets; Michael Ian Black having a meltdown about how his pedo Tweets are everywhere; other Hollywood pedos getting exposed on Twitter; Trump met Putin and Americans didn't march in streets demanding his immediate impeachment (and in fact his polls are up); a media meme about "division" in the Dem party has them worked up (even though Bernie and Ocasia will cuck for certain) And so on. Just another day of the Left losing.

next step is to convince the population of their findings
Kevin Jenkins
Yeah, they could have done that back then, when people were still uncertain about how Trump would actually work.. I have my doubts that anything they can do now will jar anyone. Everyone has seen so much ample evidence of media manipulation and lies now, that they wouldn't believe it.
Nathan Young
How many kids do you think she has raped and ritually murdered?
They could always have done that but never did. They're 100% invested in meeting force with force (a game Trump masters) instead of redirecting Trump's energy against himself (something that would work as I detailed). They can't now because after 500 days of rage they can't just revert to praising the president.
