President Trump on Friday asserted that Democrats were behind recent news reports that intelligence officials informed Congress of Russian interference in the 2020 race to help his reelection, with the president dubbing it a “misinformation campaign.”

Is misinformation really coming from the Intelligence office?? What do you think?

I wish someone could tell me exactly HOW it is the Russians meddle. That piece of information would be useful. Obama is reported to have meddled in an Israeli election.

So the question is: how much actual substance is there to this narrative, and how much is to delegitimize the results of an election?

I don't think the problem here is that Russia is meddling (we know they are - they always have - similar to how we meddle in their affairs - CIA)...

The problem is that Trump always goes against anything "negative" about his administration. And, a lot of of these "negative feedback", are from his own administration.

If he doesn't like what somebody says, he fires them.

That's the problem.

What kind of government does that sound like to you?

I don't think he fires people because he doesn't like what they say. I tend to look more at results than what is being said about him. One of the things he should have done on inaugeration is fire all the holdovers from the previous administration. Obama did that. Any president needs to have people he can trust, not be constantly undermining him.

I try to look past all the rhetoric; too much of it is self-righteous and misleading.

Do you still believe that Trump doesn't fire people because he doesn't like what they said (insufficient loyalty to the Trump narrative)?

The pattern seems pretty obvious.
