Donald Trump: ‘I Got Me Elected’ Not Russia

President Donald Trump clarified a statement he made on Twitter about Russia, denying the country had anything to do with winning his election.

“No, Russia did not help me get elected. Do you know who got me elected? I got me elected. Russia didn’t help me at all,” Trump said. “Russia, if anything, I think, helped the other side.”

 

Trump clarified a statement on Twitter, in which he was characterizing the Democratic obsession with Russia that suddenly went quiet.

 

“Russia, Russia, Russia! That’s all you heard at the beginning of this Witch Hunt Hoax…And now Russia has disappeared because I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected,” Trump wrote on Thursday morning. “It was a crime that didn’t exist.”

 

Democrats and Trump’s critics in the media pounced on the statement, insisting that the president finally admitted that Russia helped him get elected.

 

Trump said that Hillary Clinton colluded with the media and the Russians to win her election, but lost.

 

“She didn’t make it, but you take a look at collusion between Hillary Clinton and the media. you take a look at collusion between Hillary Clinton and Russia,” Trump said. “She had more to do in the campaign with Russia than I did.” https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/05/30/donald-trump-i-got-me-elected-not-russia/

 

Fact Check: No, Trump Did Not Admit Russia Helped Him Get Elected

The mainstream media and the political left are celebrating what they are describing as an admission by President Donald Trump that Russia helped him win the 2016 presidential election.

On Thursday morning, Trump tweeted: “Russia, Russia, Russia! That’s all you heard at the beginning of this Witch Hunt Hoax…And now Russia has disappeared because I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected. It was a crime that didn’t exist. So now the Dems and their partner, the Fake News Media,………say he fought back against this phony crime that didn’t exist, this horrendous false accusation, and he shouldn’t fight back, he should just sit back and take it. Could this be Obstruction? No, Mueller didn’t find Obstruction either. Presidential Harassment!”

 

The awkwardly worded phrase “Russia helping me to get elected” is being treated as a confession, a Freudian slip that reveals the president’s true state of mind — though he also called the idea “a crime that didn’t exist,” and a “false accusation” in the same tweets, suggesting that Trump was simply rejecting the allegations about collusion as a whole.

 

The New York Times ran a story about Trump’s comments under the headline,

“Trump Admits to Russia ‘Helping Me to Get Elected’.”

The story rocketed to the top of social media as Trump’s detractors circulated the tweets, and the story.

 

The Times added that Trump “has avoided saying publicly that Russia helped him win the presidency in 2016 through its election interference.” The implication of that sentence is that Trump might have said so, or thought so, privately. It also presumes Russia actually helped him win.

 

Yet moments later, on the White House lawn, Trump said: “No, Russia did not help me get elected. Do you know who got me elected? Do you know who got me elected? I got me elected. Russia didn’t help me at all. Russia, if anything, I think, helped the other side. What you ought to ask is this: do you think the media helped Hillary Clinton get elected?”

 

Trump also pointed to alleged “collusion between Hillary Clinton and Russia,” which many Republicans believed was key to the creation of a discredited “dossier” by former British spy Christopher Steele, who was being paid indirectly by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign. The dossier was allegedly used by the FBI to apply for a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to conduct extensive surveillance on Trump campaign associates.

 

Trump has acknowledged before that Russian intelligence agencies attempted to interfere with the election, even if he has also accepted, likely for diplomatic reasons, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s public assurances that it did not.

 

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation concluded that Russian operatives sought to help Trump win, though critics argue that the primary goal of Russian interference — some of which targeted Republicans — was to sow chaos. (Even Hollywood leftist Michael Moore was duped into participating in an anti-Trump rally organized by Russians.)

Assange Is Reportedly Gravely Ill, And Hardly Anyone's Talking About It

Julian Assange’s Swedish lawyer Per Samuelson has told the press that “Assange’s health situation on Friday was such that it was not possible to conduct a normal conversation with him.”

 

This jarring revelation has been reported by a small handful of outlets, but only as an aside in relation to Sweden refusing Samuelson’s request for a postponement of a scheduled hearing regarding Assange’s detention en absentia for a preliminary investigation of rape allegations. The fact that the imprisoned WikiLeaks founder is so ill that he can’t converse lucidly is itself far more significant than the postponement refusal, yet headlines mentioning Samuelson’s statement focus on the Swedish case, de-emphasizing the startling news from his lawyer.

Biden puts his hands on 10-year-old girl: ‘I bet you’re as bright as you are good looking’

Creepy Joe is back!

 

During an event with government school unionists in Houston today, Joe Biden complimented a young girl’s appearance, saying, “I bet you’re as bright as you are good looking,” as he leaned towards her face.

 

The girl told him she wanted to be a journalist, which caused him to stand upright and respond, “I better be more circumspect in my answer!”

 

He ended up putting his hands on the 10-year-old girl, despite promises to respect boundaries:

 

Now his campaign’s efforts to keep him away from voters and the media is beginning to make sense.

Nevada Democratic governor vetoes national popular vote bill

Nevada's Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak on Thursday vetoed a bill that would have pledged the state’s Electoral College votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote.

 

"After thoughtful deliberation, I have decided to VETO Assembly Bill 186," Sisolak said in a statement.

 

“Once effective, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact could diminish the role of smaller states like Nevada in national electoral contests and force Nevada’s electors to side with whoever wins the nationwide popular vote, rather than the candidate Nevadans choose.”

 

“I recognize that many of my fellow Nevadans may disagree on this point and I appreciate the legislature’s thoughtful consideration of this important issue."

 

The legislation, approved by the state's Senate last week, would add Nevada to the National Popular Vote interstate compact.

 

Fourteen states and the District of Columbia have passed legislation to join the pact, which will only take effect if a number of states holding the majority of the Electoral College’s 538 electoral votes join the agreement.
