If The Russians Engineered a Trump Victory

[Bob Butler 54]

Here is CNN reporting on the Trump White House suggesting collusion with Syria in the recent chemical attacks.  White House: Russia, Syrian regime trying to 'confuse' the world over chemical attacks.

CNN Wrote:The White House said Tuesday the Syrian regime and Russia are trying to "confuse the world community about who is responsible for using chemical weapons against the Syrian people in this and earlier attacks."

Senior administration officials stopped short of saying there was definitive proof of Russian collusion with Syria on the chemical attack last week, but the administration bluntly accused the Russian government of helping the Syrian regime cover-up chemical weapons still in the country.

The article ends...

CNN Wrote:White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Tuesday that, despite the report, there was "no consensus in the intelligence community" that Russia was complicit in the attack.

The comments from White House officials come after Russian leaders, including President Vladimir Putin, dismissed the idea they were aware of the chemical attacks.

Exasperated, Putin told reporters that that the story is "very tedious."

This to me echoes the Trump style.  If anyone opposes him, he will make up stuff and go on a PR offensive without being able to back it up.  I guess it worked during the campaign.  Running international diplomacy that way seems questionable.
