This is the first time Donald Trump has mentioned the massive Russian government cyberattack:
Of course it’s all about him.
We can’t expect anything more from him. He’s overwhelmed with the reality that he’s the biggest loser and sorest loser in world history. But I don’t think we’ve fully grasped the national security threat he poses after he is out of the White House .
Think about this for a moment:
In his calls to allies, Trump has been asking them specifically how he can campaign for four years, and soliciting advice on how to navigate the first two years. He has talked about traveling to the Middle East, a region where he would be well-received, according to the two people familiar with the calls. The visit would allow him to promote his policies there, including agreements his administration helped negotiate to normalize relations between Israel and several Arab nations.
He has never been trustworthy with America’s secrets and has had access to all of them. I think his state of mind today indicates that he’s becoming actively hostile to the United States. Imagine what kind of trouble he can cause, particularly if he’s saying he’s running again and foreign actors believe he is worth investing in.
I honestly don’t know what is to be done about this but it seems to me that it’s a very dangerous situation.
It’s Happy Hollandaise time! If you’d like to help keep this old blog going for another year, you can do so here:
