GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Presenting himself as both vindicated and vindictive, a fired-up President Donald Trump on Thursday turned the findings of the special counsel’s Russia investigation into a political weapon at a boisterous Michigan rally that was part victory lap, part 2020 campaign push.
Basking in his supporters’ adulation at the Grand Rapids rally, his first political event since Mueller found no evidence no evidence that his campaign “conspired or co-ordinated” with the Russian government to influence the 2016 presidential election, Trump said the investigation was an attempt to “overturn the will of the people” and that many “innocent people” were swept up in the probe.
“The Democrats now have to decide if they will continue to defraud the American public with this ridiculous bulls–t,” said Trump, who urged the opposing party to instead work with him on issues like infrastructure repair and drug pricing. — Donald J. Trump March 28, 2019He also framed the Democrats’ presidential candidates as “radical,” and he slammed the Green New Deal, an ambitious, wide-ranging plan to combat climate change, as a “dangerous” reinvention of American society.
Mueller’s report stretches more than 300 pages, according to a Justice Department official. But Barr’s four-page summary released Sunday has been seized upon by the Republican president and his allies as a weapon to use against Democrats, the so-called Deep State and the media. With an eye on local matters, Trump announced he would reverse his administration’s own budget plan, which had proposed a 90 per cent spending cut for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. Trump said he would fully fund the cleanup program, offering the $300 million the program has typically received.
