Donald Trump can’t stop talking about Russia, even with a great economy
CNNCNN — Probably only President Donald Trump could simultaneously preside over the best economy in half a century and bring the nation closer to a constitutional crisis than it has been for almost as long. Tactics that alienate non-supporters also mean that Trump does not have the option to point to the economy and declare “It’s Morning in America” as Ronald Reagan did in cruising to re-election in 1984. The special counsel also concluded that Trump’s team “expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.” The report also did not establish a conspiracy between Trump’s campaign team and Russia, and the special counsel chose not to reach a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice – though offered evidence on both sides of the case. “ is not looking at all to get involved in Venezuela other than he’d like to see something positive happen for Venezuela,” Trump said. “There has been no President in history that has given what I’ve given in terms of looking at, just a total witch hunt,” Trump said on Friday.
