I know that the "thin-skinned" narrative is one that Trump haters feel very strongly about and repeat to themselves like a mantra, but I sure don't think it holds up. I don't think he is thin-skinned. I think he is fueled by conflict. He seeks it out. That is not a compliment at all, BTW.Since Trump stood in front of the world's cameras in Helsinki, with Putin by his side, and said Putin told him that Russia had not interfered, and Trump didn't see why they would have interfered, (and I don't buy his next day correction, it would have been absurd in the context at the time), and since it apparently bruises his ego to have Russian interference in 2020 raised in his presence, and since he basically does not give a **** if they do interfere, he was fine with it in 2016 after all, then, yeah, I think so. Leave it to him, and he will do nothing whatsoever. A worse job? He would do no job at all if left to him alone.
Who stopped Obama from getting a joint condemnation of Russia before the election, by both parties? McConnell, who stated he would call it interference in the election by Obama.
Regarding my initial comment, though. It's interesting to me that the Dems don't really seem all that concerned that this breach of our sovereignty they are so crazed about happened under Obama's watch. They are only upset about it to the extent that they can tie it to Trump and use it to explain Hillary's defeat. I don't believe it would have mattered to them at all had Hillary won.
