[FONT=TIActuBeta-ExBold_web]DONALD TRUMP’S REACTION[/FONT] to news that some U.S. intelligence agencies believe Russia intervened in the 2016 presidential election on his behalf was to fire back: “These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.”
He might have had a point — were it not for the fact that he was being so obviously and ludicrously insincere. Case in point: Trump is said to be on the brink of appointing John Bolton as deputy secretary of state. He is arguably the man most responsible for hiding the truth about Iraq’s nonexistent WMDs.
The Bush administration, with Bolton as undersecretary of state for arms control, arrived in Washington, D.C., in 2001 with the goal of invading Iraq. They weren’t motivated by whatever WMDs Iraq might or might not have, but, as a senior administration official later explained, by the simple and highly galling fact of Saddam Hussein’s “defiance” of the U.S.

Well that doesnt make a lick of sense.....
 
It doesn't make sense because it doesn't need to make sense. He is using the term WMD because it is powerful. By itself it can make almost anyone question the validity of the hacking allegations, and it can be used to justify why Trump doesn't think attending his intelligence briefings is important. If you were to ask a random person who John Bolton is, they would either say, "I don't know" or "Isn't he a singer?"

Poor Trumpsters, no Hillary indictment, no swamp draining, no mass deportations, and parts of that huuuuuge wall are now a fence. All those flip flops before Cry Baby even gets the WH keys, told ya so!!

Trump is to busy taking an extended victory lap, screw those pesky intel briefs. Thankfully Obama is watching the ball, though a terrorist attack on Trumps watch, and his laziness at attending the briefs, may just bite him on that orange ass.

Donald Trump has had a silver spoon in his mouth all his life. Always had it his way. I actually feel sorry for him when he takes the helm in January 20, 2017; he has never experienced anything in his life what he is about to encounter. God help us all.

Yup

The scrutiny on him, and his family will be like nothing he has experienced, and we all know that orange skin is paper thin. He may well tweet himself a heart attack, now that would be a shame.

I think it is VERY unfair of you to expect logical consistency from the President-elect.
He knows better than you! He started a university!

If Trump is so upset about the WMD lies why would he be considering hiring John Bolton as SOS?

Hillary is old news, a poor debating deflect, lets focus on Trump and his swamp filling.

Probably because he was lying when he blathered about being upset about the WMDs in an effort to make Jeb look bad. Or he was telling the truth which meant he isn't really a Republican. Or he's just a two faced moron. Or probably a combination of the above.

The man cannot even keep track of his own untruths. He encouraged Putin to hack a secure email and release classified emails, which according to Hillary haters has more smoking guns than the Alamo, then he doubts the very hacking existed!! Perhaps the deplorables have a short term memory, the rest of us already figured out the man is a lying, soilt, draft dodging, ignaramouse. The man is an international embaresement, and Putins boy. Sooner or later Putin will be calling to collect from Comrade Trump, and America will pay, as Trump does not pay for squat.

Sure it does: when Trump said he was upset about there not being WMDs in Iraq, he was lying.

He doesn't give a **** about that. He just wanted a catchphrase excuse for ignoring Russian election, something that could be copy/pasted to the internet. Now that his sycophants have been instructed to immediately say "no WMDs in Iraq" every time Russian shenanigans come up, he can rest assured that they won't start thinking about whether embracing Bolton makes any kind of sense.

And I hadn't even read this exchange before posting that. What a perfect example.

Trumpsters have been programmed to redirect all doubt into rants about the left. It doesn't matter how much Trump lies, it doesn't matter how many promises he breaks, it doesn't even matter if he contradicts himself in the same sentence.

They're instructions are to respond by saying "but Hillary" or "I hate the MSM!" or "LIBRULS! Gaaaaack!"

I'm not a trumpster, I was merely highlighting how silly his loaded question article from an activist site was.
 
An excellent question posed by OP. :)
