Well then call me crazy

When money isn’t being spent on additional cyber security measures, you’re inviting continued Russian election interference. Multiple secret meetings/calls between Trump and Putin, while ignoring our allies, is also far from tough. Trump acts like he’s welcoming his new masters.

So tough our president discusses the Mueller report with him.
