Americans truly are fukking imbeciles to let this guy make it this far.trump making any requests to russia (joking or serious, which by the way bears no distinction with trump) to illegally obtain us gov information is completely irresponsible.
this fool thinks this whole thing is just a tv show?
and this ain't even a hillary issue, i can see him doing other dumb shyt like this across the board. what happens when he's "just joking" about nuking another country or sending drone strikes at a foreign gov official because they "were mean" to him? and don't try to act like this is far fetched.
this dude would be the us version of kim jong il
real talk.
I'm angry at both of these motherfukkers for this shyt show cause both of their acts are absolutely terrible. We can acknowledge both.

Sarcasm? Some Russian leaders think Trump’s praise for Russia was sincere.

When Donald Trump told reporters at a news conference in Florida that he would welcome the Russians' help in unveiling tens of thousands more private emails of his rival for president, Hillary Clinton, he elicited shock, and even allegations of treason. But in typical Trump fashion, he walked back his comments the next morning, saying he was merely being sarcastic.
He may well have been, but some Russian leaders did not seem to think so.
Sergei Aksyonov, leader of Russia's prized, annexed region of Crimea, wrote a Facebook post that took Trump at his word. And not only that, Aksyonov implied that Trump's remarks are a reflection of the American people's increasing pro-Russia sentiment. Trump probably made Aksyonov very happy when he also said, in the same Florida news conference, that he would consider recognizing Crimea as part of Russia, not Ukraine. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.
"Trump says only what his voters want to hear. This means there is a desire to improve ties with Russia in American society," Aksyonov wrote, according to the Russian state news agency TASS. "If part of the US political establishment, such as Trump, is ready to recognize the reality, we can only welcome this."

Businessman Donald Trump officially became the Republican nominee at the party’s convention in Cleveland.
Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the International Affairs Committee of Russia's upper house of parliament, also took to Facebook to praise Trump's statements.
"Trump has repeatedly proven that he, like no one else, understands the public’s demand for a change in course, and the attitudes of a large part of voters who have grown tired of the Clintons and the Bushes," Kosachev wrote on his Facebook page. "The fact that a presidential candidate is speaking out in favor of improving relations with Russia means that similar sentiment is becoming more and more popular in US, and it can bring political points."

Russian officials at times can seem obsessed with the idea that the American public is obsessed with what Russia is up to. Polling numbers from early 2015 show that 70 percent of Americans actually have a negative view of Russian President Vladimir Putin. In those polls, Republicans have slightly more negative views than Democrats of Putin. Trump, however, has gone the opposite way in many statements over the years. He also said recently that Putin has far greater leadership skills than President Obama.
Intelligence officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an issue under investigation, said there is little doubt that agents of the Russian government hacked the Democratic National Committee. They said that it was not clear to them how those emails were passed along to the anti-secrecy site WikiLeaks but that the White House had been informed months ago of Moscow’s actions.

Trump's fellow Republicans were quick to try to douse the firestorm set off by their presidential nominee's comments encouraging the Russians' hacking of a U.S. political party.
His running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, warned of "serious consequences" if Russia interfered in the election. And a spokesman for House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R) said: “Russia is a global menace led by a devious thug. Putin should stay out of this election."
Meanwhile, at the Kremlin, the reaction was largely one of bemusement.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who has denied any Russian involvement in the hacking of the DNC email servers, said the allegations were a "vivid example of the use of anti-Russian sentiment for electoral purposes in the United States."
"We know perfectly well that candidates in the heat of a preelection struggle say one thing, but that later, when under the weight of responsibility, their rhetoric becomes more balanced," Peskov said.

You are such a terrible, terrible poster.

When Russia uncovers Hillary's emails, I bet they show you're a paid Hillary plant :MadTrump2:
