.MaddowBlog: Team Trump peddles odd Obama-Russia message to its 2020 donors.
Donald Trump’s preoccupation with Barack Obama has been a little creepy lately. In fact, the Republican tweeted about his presidential predecessor a couple of times again this morning.
The “survey” – really just a mechanism for gathering voters’ contact information – promises that the President will “personally review” the responses of those who provide their answers .In the Trump campaign’s telling, the “Waste of Money Mueller Report” proved that “Cheatin’ Obama” intentionally declined to prevent Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential contest.
So let me get this straight. Russia attacked the U.S. elections, as part of a military intelligence operation intended to put Donald Trump in power. Obama, the Trump campaign wants its supporters to believe, may have given Moscow “the green light” to intervene in our elections, and the Democratic president may have even “worked with” Russia.
Why would the Democratic president give the Kremlin “the green light” ‘to help the Republican campaign? I haven’t the foggiest idea, though the Trump campaign’s mailing suggested the conspiracy theory may have involved the Iran nuclear deal in some way.
