Trump said, “With that all being said, if we can get along with Russia that’s a good thing not a bad thing. There was nobody tougher. I was very honored by the report. It was totally conclusive, strong, powerful. Nobody knew about and said in a strong way. They were forceful in saying the Clinton campaign did contribute to Russia. Maybe somebody ought to look at what we really should do is get on with our lives and get on with a lot of things.”

Just ignore the fact that Russian election interference put Trump into office. Ignore it. Move on with your life, and accept Donald Trump as a legitimate president. That’s what Trump was saying. Russian theft of US democracy? That was so 2016. According to Trump, everyone should move on.

Donald Trump’s theory of politics is based on the idea that the American people don’t pay attention or care, but the Russia scandal is proving him wrong. The scandal has been with him day in and day out. No matter what distractions he uses, he can’t shake the Russia scandal.

The American people are paying attention, and they do care about the future of their country. People aren’t going to forget about what Russia did to get Trump elected, and they want to know what potential crimes Trump committed to win the election.
