Trump mocks: Why would I expand energy production and hurt Russia if I 'worked for Kremlin?'

President Trump on Monday asked why he would hurt Russia by expanding U.S. energy production if he was in cahoots with the Kremlin, as most Democrats suspect.

“‘Gas prices drop across the United States because President Trump has deregulated Energy and we are now producing a great deal more oil than ever before.’ @foxandfriends But this is bad news for Russia, why would President Trump do such a thing? Thought he worked for Kremlin?” Trump wrote on Twitter Monday morning.

On Friday, the New York Times reported that the FBI opened an investigation into whether President Trump was working with Russia, after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey.

Special counsel Robert Mueller's team continues to press ahead with its investigation into whether Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 campaign. Prosecutors recently told a court that Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, shared Trump's polling data with Ukrainian oligarchs with ties to the Kremlin.

Democrats and intelligence officials say those documents show there was “collusion” between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Trump has been President for two years. You’d think that if he had been put into office by the Russians we’d see some policy evidence by now. But all the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) can talk about is who had lunch with who one day in 2016.

Did anyone even ask the reporters why Trump would work for the Russians? He is rich enough not to need money like these asses in Congress do. He already had the most power in the world. So what would be his motive? These congress asses have many.motives for the crimes they commit, but are never brought to justice...

It was originally the classic Clintonian “signal to noise” effort to confuse the public by accusing their opponent of doing exactly what they were doing, first. It’s snowballed to such ridiculous proportions now that they can’t escape their own BS, so they’re either going to take Trump down with it or die trying. There is no backing off now, they’re in too deep with too many players complicit. I find myself in awe that Trump hasn’t been ensnared by any of their traps thus far.

Watching DJT horsewhip the left on a daily basis gives meaning to my life.

A President working for the Russians would restrict US energy (oil, natural gas) production and provide Russia with access to US Uranium. These were the policies of the Obama administration. Secretary of State Clinton provided the necessary signature allowing the Russians access to American Uranium.

Thanks E. Pluribus Unum. Unlike Hitlery, Pelousy, Shutdown Chuck, and the rest of the corrupt anti-American party, President Trump works for us, not for the highest bidder.

Here's the hard truth - Trump was barely able to '˜collaborate' with Republicans before the election... he works on collaborating with his staff and Congress...and yeah I mean 'works on'...

No way would he ever collaborate with Russians. President Trump has many skills but the diplomatic 'working with others in a 'collaborative fashion' isn't one of his stronger skills.
