Three-in-10 Americans say they believe that President Donald Trump did something illegal regarding Russian involvement with his presidential campaign and 31% say he did something illegal regarding payments to two women to keep them from publicizing their alleged affairs before the 2016 election according to a new poll out by Gallup.

A quarter of people say President Trump did something unethical when it comes to Russian meddling in the election. While those who believe he has done something illegal increased since August 2017 (up four percentage points), those who say he's done something unethical has gone down by 10 percentage points. Those who say they don't have an opinion has increased, perhaps a result of President Trump's ongoing attacks on the special counsel investigation led by Robert Mueller.

Significantly more (37%) say his behavior with regard to the women was unethical, with only 23% who say he did nothing wrong (compared to 35% who say he did nothing wrong on the Russia investigation). The President has denied affairs with the women, but payments to them have been documented and CNN obtained audio of him discussing one payment with his former attorney Michael Cohen....

”Well, fire has never melted steel, right?”

Right. Steel mills are a myth promulgated by right wingers to prepare the public to believe the lies later told about the 9/11 George W. Bush false flag operation. Blacksmiths never existed either. /s (Don’t worry, I know you were being sarcastic, too)

I was sort of quoting that world-famous metallurgist Rosie O'Donnell from her former television show The View.

Joseph Goebells freely admitted that he learned almost everything he later used in Nazi Germany from Colonel House, President Wilson’s propaganda chief and confidant.

Wow, all that work they put in to hurt the president and it only moved up a few percentage points. They should be ashamed of themselves for such dismal results. They want us to believe president Trump is bad while the gun runner, isis founder/financier, Benghazi abandon-er who also used the government to attack American citizens is as clean as a whistle. I won't even mention the clinton crime organization. Then the media asks why we laugh at them and see them as our enemy. They are are a bunch of lying lowlifes.

And 100% of the one-third who said he acted illegally could not cite a single law or fact to support their belief.

Trump rally attendees illegally presented their faces to the fists of Robert Creamer’s thugs and bullies.

It’s CNN.

But certainly there are some lunatics that live to hate all things Trump.

At some point, it becomes actionable.

Those people are totally mislead by the media, because had he done something illegal Mueller would have pounced on it and you would have already seen it in the DNC-media over a year ago.
