Trump does 'about face' on issue of foreign interference

In the spirit of Joe Biden and most other politicians (except for the crazy socialists like Bernie Sanders), President Trump has walked back what he said on ABC to former Director of Communications for the Clinton administration, George Stephanopoulos earlier this week.

Specifically, Trump said that if was told by a foreign source that they had information on one of his political opponents, would he accept it and would he contact the FBI. He said that he would be willing to listen to a foreign entity with damaging information saying "there isn't anything wrong with it." 

Other than it being immoral and potentially damaging politically due to the hostile media that actually found Trump to be at fault when Iran mined two ships in the Straits of Hormuz this week. In other words, anything that goes wrong or is wrong with the world, is somehow Trump's fault.

On Friday in a Fox News interview, the president, singing a totally different tune, said that he would "of course" contact authorities.

In the initial interview with ABC, he said he disagreed with his FBI Director Christopher Wray's position that if approached by foreign entities, political campaigns should report suspicious communications from them.

Those comments drew sharp criticism from the hypocritical Democrats, who said Trump was giving Russia a green light to interfere in the 2020 presidential election. They failed to condemn Hillary Clinton's use of the foreign national, Christopher Steele, with the Steele dossier, when her campaign used him for opposition research for the 2016 campaign and for which the Mueller probe was based on.

Trump did his "about face" Friday telling Fox News, "Of course, you have to look at it . . . but of course, you give it to the FBI or report it to the attorney general or somebody like that. You couldn't have that happen with our country, and everybody understands that," he said.

“If I thought anything was incorrect or badly stated," he stated imprecisely, "I’d report it to the attorney general, the FBI. I’d report it to law enforcement, absolutely.”

Former Vice President Joe Biden, the current frontrunner at the moment for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, countered Trump on Friday by releasing a video statement on Twitter pledging to not use misinformation in his campaign or tolerate outside interference.

Trump was “dead wrong,” Biden said. “I won’t be part of any attempt to undermine our democracy or public confidence in our institutions.”

Biden's presidential platform seems to be that a) Orange man bad; b) I will cure cancer if you elect me, but not before then; c) Orange man very bad.
