Presidente Trumpo assailed all the talk about Russian connections from his administration as “fake news” in all caps.
Russia talk is FAKE NEWS put out by the Dems, and played up by the media, in order to mask the big election defeat and the illegal leaks!

This isn’t terribly accurate of course because many Republicans want the investigations to continue as well. But they’re all haters and losers and traders, probably.
What is interesting is that Trump keeps defending Putin and denying the connections, while his administration is NOT giving the Russians an easy time at all. Nikki Haley has been slapping them around at the United Nations, while General Mattis has really made it clear that he is not for cooperating with the Russians and he’s definitely for bulking up NATO against them. This has pissed off the Russians royally, especially after Flynn had to be fired, as they believed he was a bridge to this administration. We’ve even told them that we expect them to give the Crimea back to Ukraine!!! So it’s all over the place, really.
Trump tweeted more this morning, helping keep the war between far progressive bernie-crats and moderate establishment obama-crats going:
The race for DNC Chairman was, of course, totally "rigged." Bernie's guy, like Bernie himself, never had a chance. Clinton demanded Perez!

And also ripping into the New York Times:
For first time the failing @nytimes will take an ad (a bad one) to help save its failing reputation. Try reporting accurately & fairly!

Which has been a favorite target for Republicans for long before Trump came around…
And that’s the state of the presidency via tweet today…
