NBC Interview: Donald Trump Has Called Russia Probe A Made-Up Story And Excuse By Democrats For Losing Election
US President Donald Trump has called Russia probe a made-up story by Democrats for losing election. He also claimed they should have won the election considering the Electoral College is almost impossible, very hard for a Republican to win. Trump told NBC:
“When I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story, it’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won.
“And the reason they should have won it is the electoral college is almost impossible for a Republican to win. Very hard. Because you start off at such a disadvantage. So everybody was thinking, they should have won the election. This was an excuse for having lost an election.”
Asked whether he was “angry” with Mr Comey because of the Russia investigation, Donald Trump Trump said:
“I just want somebody that’s competent. As far as I’m concerned, I want that thing to be absolutely done properly.”
He added: “Look, I want to find out if there was a problem with an election having to do with Russia. Or, by the way, anybody else. Any other country. And I want that to be so strong and so good. And I want it to happen. I also want to have a really competent, capable director. He’s not. He’s a showboat.”
