This is a very complex deception.

On the surface it seems like Trump is saying there was no Russian involvement and he's dismissing all accusations out of hand. Which seems fucking retarded. At this point it's dangerous to predicate an argument on speculation about Trump's intelligence. He's not a complete moron. Parts of the Left want to dismiss him on grounds of stupidity. So it seems when you look at Twitter and Facebook. Whatever. His intelligence is unknowable. His specific motives are unknowable for now.

What's clear is his affinity for speaking favorably of Putin and engaging him. Also engaging North Korea. Don't know those two things are related Something is obviously going on. What exactly? That's unclear.

He seems to be saying that Russian involvement in this shit show is the responsibility of independent hostile actors inside Russia. And that's not how the government there works. Any geopolitical action sourced from Russia is going to have, bare minimum, some KGB influence. I'm straining to speculate further because the implications that we can guess at now with available information lead to all sorts of easily imagined scenarios.

We know his history and can guess that he's just fundamentally an insecure, narcissistic crazy person after 70 some years of protecting the wounded ego of a spoiled child. His motives since he launched his campaign are the hard thing to tease out.

OK. Enough Trump World for a while. I feel like left wing Alex Jones so I should probably do something mindless for a few hours.
