True Trump Colors: Edward Snowden


 

The Donald recently declared: “If I’m president, Putin says ‘hey, boom — you’re gone’ — I guarantee you that,” Mr. Trump said in a CNN interview.

Trump is referring to Snowden when he says ‘you’re gone.’

Mr. Trump called Mr. Snowden a “total traitor” and said he “would deal with him harshly.” Really Donald?

Is Snowden a traitor? Did he expose unconstitutional actions by the feds, as recently ruled by our courts, or did he simply hinder our government from fighting terrorism by revealing the fact that our own government spies on every U.S. citizen’s phone and Internet?

Trump believes Snowden is a traitor.

Hmmm, Trump rails highly against the governmental establishment at every opportune moment, but when it comes to spying, Trump has total trust in the actions of the feds?

Now, Donald Trump might be a genius, and he might be a true American success story and the wild card Americans are longing for to come in and reestablish our Republic….and be wrong on the Edward Snowden issues at the same time. No one human being is perfect.

But, Donald, you need to explain this position. Do you still feel this way? In your eyes, is Edward Snowden a traitor?

Honest people can make honest mistakes or judgements based on inadequate data at hand. But, tell us Donald…where do you stand within your new 2015 political vista?

“He would never keep somebody like Snowden in Russia — he hates [President] Obama; he doesn’t respect Obama. Obama doesn’t like him either. But he has no respect for Obama, has a hatred for Obama, and Snowden is living the life,” he said.

Mr. Trump, who is at or near the top of recent polling on the 2016 GOP presidential field, also said he’s not interested in a vice presidential position if he doesn’t win the party’s nomination.

“It’s not that I wouldn’t — it’s a phenomenal position,” he said. “I think it’s a very powerful position … it’s not for me.

“I’m not doing this to be president — I’m doing this to make America great again,” he said.

He also said he’s had many people ask him if he would run as a third-party or independent candidate.

“I’d get a lot of votes,” he said. “The best way of defeating the Democrats and probably Hillary [Rodham Clinton] — I think it’s going to be Hillary — is to run as a Republican. If I do the third-party thing, it would be, I think, very bad for the Republicans. I think it would be very bad in terms of beating the Democrats, and we have to win.”

He said without independent candidate Ross Perot in the 1992 presidential race, “you would have never heard of Bill Clinton.”

“In my opinion, [former President George H.W.] Bush would have gotten almost a hundred percent of those votes,” he said. “Now, I’ve actually spoken to Bill Clinton once. He said, ‘no, no — [it] was split 50-50.’ That’s [a] smart thing for him to say. No way. Had Ross Perot not run, you would never have heard of Bill Clinton.”
