I honestly feel like I'm living in an alternate universe. This is no longer a partisan political issues. Trump says he is "like, a smart person." Ergo, he has told the daily intelligence briefers to let him know if something changes!!!!! He says he doesn't need to be told the same thing every day.
He doesn't believe the CIA's statement that Russia was behind the hacks with the goal of electing Trump. Trump doesn't believe the CIA and suggests the Democrats are behind the revelation. Trump said the hacks could be China, could be a guy on his bed in New Jersey. Making his refusal to accept CIA's statement even more troubling - insane, really - is the myriad ties to Russia by Manfort and his Secretary of state nominee and his many favorable comments on Russia.
Trump also declares his victory was a landslide, the greatest in US history. WHAT? Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 2.8 million. Think about the elections of Reagan and the Goldwater loss. Trump either doesn't know history or he lies, or both.
Our national security and personal safety will be in this man's hands. Along with an array of nominees that is truly bizarre, maybe excepting Genral Mattis and Representative Mike Pompeo. And a couple appointees not requiring confirmation who maybe worse yet, ie, Bannon and Flynn.
Terrifying.
