Twitter Explodes in Anger as Trump Joins With Putin in Condemning Hillary Clinton and Democrats
‘You’re Quoting a Man Who Poisons His Political Opponents, Murders Critical Journos’
Donald Trump is under fire again for a tweet. The man about to become Commander-in Chief took to Twitter Saturday evening to join with Vladimir Putin in condemning Hillary Clinton and all Democrats – a stunning attack, especially against nearly half the nation’s voters. Many on Twitter exploded in anger and shock, noting the incoming President had just took sides and joined with a murderous dictator to condemn American citizens.
Vladimir Putin said today about Hillary and Dems: “In my opinion, it is humiliating. One must be able to lose with dignity.” So true!

Not only did Trump attack his former political opponent, who has done nothing but lose with dignity, but he did so with a jocularity wholly inappropriate – and chilling – especially for the season. Trump’s missive came just hours after issuing a press release bragging about a letter the Russian President sent him congratulating the president-elect on his win and wishing him his “warmest Christmas and New Year greetings.”
Here’s how some on Twitter responded:
You empty-suit, empty-souled fuck. You’re quoting a man who poisons his political opponents, murders critical journos. No dignity for them. https://t.co/QnIGcMLVZX

@KeithOlbermann @realDonaldTrump Trump is openly siding with a hostile foreign killer against more than half the American electorate.

You should be ashamed of yourself @realDonaldTrump. You’re a poor excuse for an American, let alone POTUS. No wonder no one voted for you. https://t.co/aOf7GuoUtV

@realDonaldTrump can’t tell if these are real tweets anymore or this is your teenage diary

Trump loves Putin more than the millions of Americans who voted for Hillary Clinton. Sad! #PutinPuppet #TrumpTreason #NotAmericasPresident https://t.co/DMT4p1beoN

Trump fans and Trump himself have a higher opinion of Putin than they do of Hillary Clinton. Let that sink in.

How much more graceful could Hillary Clinton lose? She basically put on a cardigan and went into the woods. Trump is still crying.

@owillis @realDonaldTrump I’m confused – in what way has Hillary been anything other than gracious and dignified after election? Such crap!

@ParkerMolloy @realDonaldTrump @vine Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States!
