In an impromptu media availability Wednesday night, President-elect Donald Trump responded to a question about sanctions against Russia by suggesting that “we ought to get on with our lives.”
“I think we ought to get on with our lives,” he said, according to a transition pool report, before segueing into an apparent discussion of information security.
“I think that computers have complicated lives very greatly,” Trump said. “The whole age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what’s going on.”
The President-elect said that computers have “speed” and “a lot of other things” but said he isn’t sure whether “the kind of security we need” is available. He then returned to the subject of sanctions.
“I have not spoken with the senators, and I certainly will be over a period of time,” he said.
Multiple members of Trump’s transition team confirmed that the President-elect’s decision to speak to reporters was spontaneous, according to a Yahoo News report.
In an interview with CNN that aired Tuesday night, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said that senators are largely in agreement that Russia was behind hacks into the Democratic National Convention and other Democratic groups during the 2016 election. He urged senators to act in response by enacting sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
One big ol’ bowl of word salad. No wonder the Orange Thing doesn’t hold press conferences. He’s dumber than a box of very used ass dildos.
It’s really quite remarkable that this once-great country could (in some fashion) elect this moron to be President. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. I’m glad my father, who fought in WWII and Korea, isn’t here to see this.
I am going to get on with my life and use this wonderful photo of the president-elect as my inspiration.
That will be the same look on his face when he nukes San Francisco by mistake.
Seriously, I don’t know, without evidence of collusion in his campaign or among his surrogate, whether this issue will ever be properly investigated and taken seriously by the voters. I don’t want to invest too much hope in that report.
I intend to continue calling every Trump voter I know a Russian traitor from now until eternity one way or another.
“I think we should get on with our lives.”
I’ve never been more sure that Trump collaborated with the Russians. This is how a 12-year-old tries to deflect.
