It is the thought that he didn't win on his own which offends him so much he resisted all the intelligence into the Russian meddling of the 2016 election. Which is why he obstructed justice to try and stop it all along the way, every chance he could and in some cases tried and was stopped by others in his administration. The fact the US was attacked by Russia in a propaganda war mattered not a bit to him. If Russia had attacked the US in a bid to help Hillary win the election and failed, it would have been a different kettle of fish.
And you know some posters on this thread act as though there was no reason to suspect Trump in regards to Russia in his public statements and actions both in his campaign and after he was sworn in as President when he in fact gave every appearance of being in favor of Russia. Of course that would make him look guilty. Moreover, there were contacts within the Trump campaign and Russian government and intelligence officials. For some reason those contacts never panned out into a collaboration. So the Russian investigation itself wasn't a witch-hunt, but a legitimate investigation with probable cause to conduct one. If only Trump had just let the investigation proceed in it's natural course, instead of obstructing justice, he would not have committed a crime which had the effect of making it seem he did in fact collaborate with Russia. But he did, but because you can't indict a President and we have a corrupt Senate, we are left with our hands tied.
Sorry for the rant. personally this whole thing upsets so much, I hate to see someone getting away with something.
The root cause of all this anti-Trumpism is a global network of socialists who abuse US government, elections, etc. as a means of making the US economy into a cog within a larger global economy.
There is nothing wrong with free trade globally, but it is not currently free. It is highly-structured trade, which is structured in the interest of investment banks that seek to control economies to exploit them for certain purposes so that certain other governments/welfare-states can benefit.
So, for example, China is used as a cheap industrial/manufacturing production region, while the US is used as a big-spending consumer market. If investors can produce unlimited cheap goods in China and ship them to the US where everyone is driving around in cars, buying expensive health care, driving up infrastructure costs, etc. then that makes the US a fatter calf for the vampires to extract blood/money from. Then, because China is producing so much so cheaply, they can use the money they make in the US to buy what little they need.
Keeping pharmaceutical cheaper outside the US also helps exploit the US for free drugs for everyone else. If you sell a pill for $200 in the US that costs $1 outside the US, you can buy 200 such pills by selling a single one in the US.
But how do you keep US people paying $200 per pill? By juicing up the insurance industry to pay the costs, as per ACA insurance mandate. How then do you make the economy churn up enough money to afford expensive insurance? By keeping everyone buying expensive cars, expensive houses, and everything else you can get them to buy in various ways.
Consumerism is how the US gets exploited to benefit everyone else globally, and the media is heavily invested to whitewash and promote consumerist values, not only by advertising but by all the sets and costumes designed to promote new purchases of everything from clothes to furniture to interior design. It is a massive money game that drives US people into debt, and causes politics to resist reforms that would make more affordable choices available to the public, including alternative transportation, more affordable/sustainable infrastructure, etc.
It is a bad joke to be angry at Trump and the Russians who made some silly political propaganda while ignoring the grand global collusion to make the US into an easy hunting ground for the sharks of global capitalism, who are leashed to the tax-masters of global welfare states to provide the tax-funding that all those people need to live for free, get free drugs/health-care, etc. etc.
Might as have called it freedom fries. Sometimes we are so embarrassing.
