Trump's cavalier response to this is shocking. These are serious allegations. His statement is mind melting on so many levels: Asked on Wednesday night at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., about reports of the impending sanctions, Mr. Trump said: “I think we ought to get on with our lives. I think that computers have complicated lives very greatly. The whole age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what is going on. We have speed, we have a lot of other things, but I’m not sure we have the kind, the security we need.”

He is not winning any friends with the non-investor, blue-collar coder crowd with his arrogance that's for sure. I don't think he realizes we and those who follow are the future of manufacturing, the people who actually breath soul into the "automation" Joe J. Miner so desperately fears and lusts after.

  Whether or not US manufacturing continues upward per prediction, that Joe the Miner isn't going to get those new manufacturing jobs -- his children maybe can, but not him. That Joe the Miner may realise that as Americans, we are truly not in the same boat, and neither are our children. While one American sinks, another sails to millionairedom.

Given Trump's personality, I wonder what material is being held back by "state actors" to be used at an appropriate time.

Trump isn't going to do or say anything that makes it look like his election might in any way be the result of Russian meddling, because it brings into question the legitimacy of his presidency.
