Overhyping a foreign meddling narrative as the blame for Democrats losing the election in Nov 2016 brings consequences – the President is not going to accept that narrative.

Why should he? Even Obama said foreign meddling has a negligible impact, so beyond telling Putin to ‘cut it out’ he did nothing extraordinary to counter anything being done.

And besides…any nod towards meddling by Trump would immediately get blown up into a huge firestorm of ‘see, we told you so’ ranting that ends up delegitimizing his win.

Nations meddle with other nations constantly, but the truth of it is simple.

Elections involve 1) campaigning, 2) voting, and 3) counting votes.

AMERICAN Democrats (not Russians) nominated Hillary as their candidate.

AMERICAN Voters (not Russians) went to the polls.

AMERICANS counted votes (not Russians) that resulted in Trump being elected.

This manufactured outrage is meant to do one thing – undermine trust in our process.
