Americans who supported Trump would like to see justice, a rare commodity in the US of A. They want to see Hillary and crew convicted (including Obama) first. Then they want Neocons and 911 perps convicted. There are strong sympathies for whistle blowers who helped shut down Hillary, and that helped expose spying on US citizens. American liberty has bottomed out while corruption has peaked. These patriots stood up for the truth, and yes even Manning did in the outing of US military war crimes. He erred in other ways, they say, but should be given credit for the good.
When the White House condemns him, they are confirming to the world that war crimes and torture are approved American Policies going forward, rather than hidden past mistakes to be corrected. America's name is mud for supporting terrorists and the world is watching Trump, hoping for a return to Christian - based laws and morals. American criticism of Russia from such a poor US reputation is fooling no one. Russia has set a high standard of justice in international relations over the past decade, and most Western Russophobia has been just that and unjustified. NATO tried to start a World War with Russia, and would have but for a patient peaceful Putin."
Trump. Learning. Curve. Let's hope he learns a lot before he gets a polonium sandwich. He's probably stupid about that, to his own peril. He's no doubt honest, so lets hope for that learning curve to be as sharp as possible. Trump is not going to smash innocents or spark wars if his learning curve is adequate. He has made the mistake of putting a lot of trust in evil people. The only hope is a steep learning curve. He is definitely brilliant and hard to fool, so we do have a decent chance.
