Well, last week, Donald Trump was officially nominated for president from the Republican party. He had a press conference Wednesday morning.
He made a ginormous political, possibly illegal, gaffe at this meeting. Of course, he is talking about emails. He is still wanting to see Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails from her server.
If Russia or any other country or person has Hillary Clinton's 33,000 illegally deleted emails, perhaps they should share them with the FBI!

He said he hopes Russia hacked the emails. Yes, a presidential nominee is calling for espionage. Trump said:
“They probably have them. I’d like to have them released. It gives me no pause. If they have them, they have them… If Russia or China or any other country has those emails, I mean, to be honest with you, I’d love to see them.”
After this incident, Trump was very rude to a reporter who was asking him about this comment. NBC reporter Katy Tur. She asked this question:
“Do you have any qualms about asking a foreign government– Russia, China, anybody– to interfere, to hack into a system, of anybody’s email system?”
She started to read his response, he interrupted with:
“Well they probably have them. I’d like to have them released.”
They argued and talked over each other for a few minutes, them Trump said:
“Here’s what gives me pause– be quiet. I know you want to save her.”
Honestly, it’s not surprising that he would talk to a reporter this way. We all know about the long feud he had with Fox News reporter, Megyn Kelly. Check out more of some of his sexism on this list. He often insults women. Also, never forget that #DonaldTrumpWantsToBangHisDaughter.
Today, he was asked about the statement he made about Russia on a Fox News interview. They asked him if he was being sarcastic, and he said:
“Of course I’m being sarcastic. You have 33,000 emails deleted, and the real problem is what was said on the emails from the Democratic National Convention.”
A sense of humor is a nice thing to see from a politician; however, joking about a foreign nation committing espionage is not funny. Also, Trump is so batsh*t crazy that we are not sure if the truth is coming out of his mouth or if he knows what’s true.
