Trump denied the veracity of allegations that the Kremlin directed Russian intelligence agencies to hack the Democratic National Conventions’ emails in order to benefit his campaign. Then, he said he hoped that such hackers would find Hillary Clinton’s missing emails.
How can that be interpreted as anything but a joke? Oh wait, Gawker's reporting it.
More and more excuses, every time Trump does something inexcusably stupid. There's plenty of other sites reporting this too.
It's fairly clear that neither candidate is qualified to be president at this point.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,”
That's the direct quote.
Later when questioned on it
Later in the news conference, when asked if he was really urging a foreign nation to hack into the private email server of Mrs. Clinton, or at least interfere in the nation’s elections, he dismissed the question. “That’s up to the president,” Mr. Trump said, before finally saying “be quiet” to the female questioner. “Let the president talk to them.”
Ever hear of the phrase "Stupid questions deserve stupid answers?
