RUSSIA PUTTING A BOUNTY ON US TROOPS SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF PHONY BALONEY

Donald Trump says 'nobody told him' about Russia paying the Taliban to kill US troops, calls the New York Times report 'another hoax' and blames Obama and Biden for letting Moscow 'have a field day'

Donald Trump has insisted 'nobody told him' that Russia had reportedly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants if they killed U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan

In a series of tweets Sunday morning, the president scathed: 'Nobody briefed or told me, VP Pence, or Chief of Staff Mark Meadows about the so-called attacks on our troops in Afghanistan by Russians, as reported through an 'anonymous source' by the Fake News New York Times.'

'Everybody is denying it & there have not been many attacks on us.....' Trump continued.

The president's comments follow a report from the Times that he was briefed in March about the apparent Moscow led murder-for-hire plot, but has yet failed to take action against it.

He demanded the Times out the source from whom the newspaper obtained the information – claiming otherwise, it's likely the source was made up.

'The Fake News @ nytimes must reveal its 'anonymous' source,' the president asserted. 'Bet they can't do it, this 'person' probably does not even exist!'

In a rebuke of the claims made in the report, Trump affirmed that 'nobody has been tougher on Russia' than his administration, continuing that 'with Corrupt Joe Biden & Obama, Russia had a field day, taking over important parts of Ukraine.

This appears to me to be unfortunately true.
When Ronald Reagan was President, America projected strength and the world’s despots knew not to test him.
One us serviceman was killed in a bombing organized by Libya . Reagan responded by blowing up Muammar Gaddafi’s home and killing one of his daughters.
Records released after the collapse of the Soviet Union disclosed that the Soviets were terrified of Reagan because they thought that the slightest miscalculation by them could lead Reagan to initiate a nuclear war. They didn’t like him, but they damn sure respected him.

With the current occupant of the White House, none of the worlds leaders fear or respect him.
They view him as a bunker- hiding coward who projects weakness and incompetence-America’s laughable fool in chief. As so many insiders have said, the latest being John Bolton, Putin knows he can play him like a fiddle.
Putin knows he can kill American soldiers without consequences, especially when Trump has said with the election interference, he trusts America’s enemies word more than that of his own intelligence agency chiefs. Putin will deny it and Trump will agree.

Now that America’s soldiers are dying because of Russia’s bounty, we need more than ever to defeat this clown in November.

Somebody said John Bolton reminded them of Dr. No. Hilarious!

Please show us these records that were released by the Soviet Union. By the way, who was President during the Contra weapons for drugs and money scandal? Maxine Waters knows because it was her district that was flooded with drugs and the beginning of the crack cocaine epidemic. Nancy Reagan stood by and repeated, "Just Say No."

You want to know what a sitting President really knows? It's usually what the people that work for him want him to know.
