Trump Says ‘Nobody Briefed’ Him On Alleged Russian Plot Offering Bounties On U.S. Soldiers
The president is a traitor, and should be charged as such!
WE ALL NOW DEMOCRATS ARE BEHIND THIS ,ITS TIME FOR PELOSI TO BE HANGDED NOW
Can anyone spell, “National Security Risk”?
Trump knows of another Anti Russia polemic. Bounty hunters are collecting cash from Syria, Iraq to Afghanistan.
It is a total nonsense, fake news just like always. cia shoudl be dissolved, it is really very criminal and hypocritical organization. For what is it? It hamed people locally, globally and led only to tragedies of all possible kind
Oh for goodness sake. It’s YOUR JOB to know. Get off Twitter, pull up your big boy pants, and take responsibility for your actions, you BIG BABY!
Resign, allow us to heal as a nation. You must resign, for reasons of no confidence.
sense of responsibility he doesn’t have that…
FIRST OF ALL, NO ONE CAN CONFIRM IF THE SECRET AGENTS WERE RUSSIAN OR NOT. THIS STORY HAS THE STENCH OF MOSSAD ALLOVER . THE ZIONIST STATE HAS BEEN TRYING FOR DECADES TO DESTABILIZE RUSSIA, AND THEY LIKE TO USE AMERICA AS A PROXY, AND LIKE COWARDS THEY ARE, USE THE CORRUPT ELEMENTS OF BOTH SIDES TO FIGHT THEIR BATTLES. PUTIN IS A REAL INTELLIGENT AND ASTUTE LEADER, HE WILL NEVER RISK TO PROVOKE AMERICA , AND CERTAINLY NOT LIKE THAT.
THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN LIBERAL FAKE OUTRAGE. BOUNTIES HAVE BEEN ON OUR HEADS FOR DECADES. SMH
they didnt read the rest of the tweet.by the fake news nytimes.
you guy should give up on that heroin… come on it’s 2020, smoke weed !!
Putin briefed him
This is new footage… Trump 2020 … Nov to win
I see their problem, they should have presented it to the so-called President in a coloring book.
Oh, please!🙄 Of course he knew! He needs to go back in his bunker until he’s voted out of office! I can’t wait to see his demise!
He is in denial
More fake news to prevent a well deserved reelection and what should’ve been the overturning of roe vs wade 2020 prior to this fake hoax aka covid-19
Trump was just too busy playing golf.
Trump is sooooo stupid
So we not gonna talk about 👇🏾

I said all along that trump works for Russia he dont care about the usa
Could have been worse. By now, I expected Trump to get a slice of the action for every dead GI if he revealed their location to Putin.
Criminal negligence
Why not?
This is not the problem for republicans or democrats. Trump is so greedy and selfish that he ignored the intelligence briefing about Russia plans. It’s all about himself and his re-election. This man is a great danger to the American people. VOTE THE TRAITOR OUT!
Trump is answering casting calls for the Revamped Hogan’s Heroes … As Sgt. Schultz
Briefing or no briefing, the real issue is: being a selective listener, will he or would he listen and act on it?
Sure he was briefed but either didn’t care to read it since it would cause waves with whatever deals with Putin to crash. He is so scared of Putin so he didnt confront him .
More fake news!
Get to the bottom of trump lies cause what had happened is a cirme
Hold on a second, Fox didn’t brief Trump on this Bounty ? How irresponsible of Fox.
Junk network switch to oan
I said it before, if Trump is reelected this will be a war torn country in a year or two.
Trump is like that awful coworker that takes all the credit, takes no responsibility, and blames everyone else when things go wrong.
Weird….. i remember telling my dad the taliban had bounties on us when I was in Afghanistan in 2009.
Trump’s always in the dark. Pelosie should be in the dark.
I only have one word. “TREASON”….
All you Dorothy’s out there clicking your heels together three times and crying, ‘Fake News’, to make it go away LOL.
Maybe the bounty is on the heads of the black soldiers….???? Just saying….maybe????
Maybe Putin blackmailed that orange monkey..
What a joke , worst pre Americans have ever had . lies only thinks for himself and family . should all be put.jail and the fools that back him.befor he steals all the money out of your bank’s and runs to Putin his buddy
He’s lying…
Y’all in good company, Putin does it too; https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/18/europe/russia-putin-world-war-history-rewrite-intl/
This has got to be the nail in the coffin!!! This man is a complete disgrace and danger to our nation!!! This is just plain disgraceful and pathetic!!! HE’S GOTTA GO!!! Our American soldiers are not expendable for him to cozy up to Putin!!!! This is appalling!!!
he did not understand the briefing, too much words….
Putin Briefed him!!!!!!
Trump 101 – Anything good going down, it’s all his doing.
Anything negative, he takes no responsibility.
This man works for PUTIN. He should be dragged out of the white house. Racism should not let this traitor off the hook.
Lying a$$ “President”
Trump simply does not trust our intelligence agencies…..which is complete nonsense.
During the Obama administration an average of 220 American soldiers per year were killed in Afghanistan, nearly triple the death rate during the George W. Bush administration (79). During the first three years of the Trump administration, an average of 18 American soldiers have been killed per year. I thought you might like to know.
Plot Twist: The first lady is actually Putin’s younger sister!!!!
Muahahahahahahahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂✌✌✌✌
TREASON More WHITE HOUSE LIES 🍑🍑🍑
There’s no truth at all in trump at all ,he was brief over a year ago because Bolton spoke to him about it. In trump there’s no truth at all in the man i fact to him truth is lie a d liesare truth. the man is willi g to put putin above the Americans his own people.
How can anybody miss the racial white power chant?
It was the main point in the video.. oh yeah, does trump even know John Bolton?. Bet he says he does not..
A bullshitter bullshitting
“A lie can travel around the world and back again, while the truth is still lacing up its shoes.”
I’m only the President of the US, no one tells me anything! For Instance, Barr firing Bergman I’m not involved, all up to the AG.
Donald Trump was told about Russia’s Bounty against US Servicemen but Vladimir Putin OWNS Donald Trump (remember their interference in the 2016 Election) . And Iran is right behind Russia to revisit the Assassination of General Quasem Solemanei. It appears that the US is getting attacked from all over the world, while battling COVID 19, Social Unrest, and a Collapsed Economy. Can we survive this? And, what will Trump do about Russia’s Bounty against our Servicemen.
White Geriatric power … LMAO
There he goes again: lying.
I find it funny that Trump did not get the memo during Black History Month/back in February because, in reality, the absence of light is darkness… #LeftInTheDark
TRUMP is LYING. He always lies. What is wrong with these people. You know Trump cannot tell the truth.
The Sergeant Shultz defense won’t work anymore…
he got the brief – he just didn’t read it – the end
Trump is a traitor 😡🤬
It’s over for dump
“New fallout” Yuck Yuck Yuck – Just he latest “Get Trump” POS with its 24 hours of fame.
Trump” is truly a Shitstain” and trash!! He does not care about anything or anyone But himself! He should be in prison
Does anyone know the name of the most unbriefed Mother F**ker in history ??? Say his name !
Traitor trump* stab in the back for American troops, stab in the back for his actions on corona virus. When are republican supporters going to wake up to traitor trump*.
As POTUS it’s your job to know all that goes on…
Putin is playing orange man 😲
Mess
He may be right. The intelligent agencies don’t trust trump and his minions. Trump and Moscow Mitch are traitors. Let’s end this nightmare America VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO
Recognise this as a Wake Up call, get him out now!
Not even friend Vladimir?
This just makes me really sad that they play with the life of our soldier’s this way they all knew but decided to take no action
What Trump is saying is he does not have intelligence
Trump is a animal that needs to be impeached for Treason and Crimes against humanity !!!!!!
Trump is incompetent time to Fire him
Anyone who believes trumps lies should not discipline their children for lying 🙄
Sometimes ya gotta read something trumpy … after all from what all reports show you don’t listen either … so guess you’re just in the wrong job ✅
Maybe he missed it because of bunker inspections.
Get him for treason and be done with it.
NANCY HELLOSI
“The administration officials did not mention anything in the House Republican briefing about intercepted data tracking financial transfers” as the proof that we already have that Russia offered bounties for the killing of U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
How can anybody, Republican or Democrat, be OK with such an intentional omission from this administration?
THIS IS THE PRESIDENT… SELLING OUR TROOPS !!! PEOPLE WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE !!!! HE LET THIS HAPPEN AND DID NOTHING DISGUSTING…
He’s up Putin’s butt
This is what will happen, Trump calls Putin and says buddy pal I need a target that I can bomb so I can show I punished you for paying for hits on our Troops. Putin says give me a day to think about it, then Trumps calls meeting with Republicans to discuss how to spin the story. He tells the Senate Republicans he just found out about this and he wants to punish Russia, they give him the OK to seek out targets. Putin meanwhile calls back Trump and gives him the green light for some targets in the middle of nowhere to bomb. In the next few days Trump will order the bombing of a supposed Russian/Taliban coordination bunker with no one in it, the republicans will be falling all over themselves for being so bold, so daring. Trump will boast once I found out, I took swift and decisive actions and I punished those Russia to dare and arrange the attacks on our troops. Trump supporters will be going crazy, their hero took such bold action. This is exactly what happened last time Trump bomb something. Watch as the American public gets played again by the Republican spin machine.
Now is the time for Republican leaders to follow Lindsey Graham’s 2015 suggestion that Trump be thrown out of their party. Not to do so now will result in the GOP going down with the Titanic replica sinking on Pennsylvania Ave.
Every person in intelligence told this buffoon!
Unreal. This doofus President is a lying sack of stupidity who’s put all Americans, military and civilians, at risk worldwide. He was told. He was told over and over again but because of his love for Putin, did nothing about it.
Trump also threatened Joe Biden.
We all know Trump was involved in Epsteins hanging
Trump is a buffoon.
My president is more interested in the McDonald’s 99 cent menu.They to attach the briefings to some hot models and then maybe they have a shot of him reading them or since he has a low IQ have Elmo read it to him slowly with pictures!😇
What is offending is for Trump and his administration to think most people are clueless enough to know that this report of Bounties on our soldiers was just play play. Nothong to see here.
What a scandal. That is unbelievable. Completely outrageous. President Trump is crazy. He bought and cheated his way into office. He’s made a shattered spectacle of America on the world front. And, now he is trying to sale is out. Bounty on American troops. Trump has completely traumatize America’s. This is a hellish affair for America. What next? If Trump is not retired (stopped) will America host King Trump the Donald.
then the ‘best of people’ should really have done it!
