‘This is an American Disgrace!’: Trump Says ‘Memo Totally Vindicates Trump’

Cites ‘Russian Witch Hunt’—Again

Donald Trump began his weekend by tweet-touting his approval rating and offering the world another lie.

“Rasmussen just announced that my approval rating jumped to 49%, a far better number than I had in winning the Election, and higher than certain ‘sacred cows,’” Trump wrote. “Other Trump polls are way up also. So why does the media refuse to write this? Oh well, someday!”

Trump was referring to the latest conservative-leaning Rasmussen poll, which just yesterday advised that “forty-nine (49%) of Likely U.S. Voters approve of the president’s job performance. Another 49% disapprove.”

Next, the president turned to the highly-controversial Devin Nunes memo released yesterday.

“This memo totally vindicates ‘Trump’ in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on,” the president wrote, with a clear affinity for the third person. “Their [sic] was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!”

There is no “Russian witch hunt.”

The president has a long history of attempting to discredit all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies, which have unanimously agreed that Russia worked to disrupt Americans’ opinions in an attempt to install the candidate Putin preferred: Donald Trump.

As for the Nunes memo, it’s a dud.
