Never heard of 'em. No idea. Can't remember a thing.

That's, essentially, what the con artist said when asked about the arrest of Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks. His longer statement:

“It’s not my thing. I know there is something having to do with Julian Assange. I’ve been seeing what’s happened with Assange and that will be a determination, I would imagine, mostly by the attorney general, who’s doing an excellent job. So, he’ll be making a determination . I know nothing really about him.”​

And yet . . .

5 times the con artist praised WikiLeaks in 2016:

November 4, 2016 in Wilmington, OH: "Getting off the plane, they were just announcing new WikiLeaks, and I wanted to stay there, but I didn't want to keep you waiting," said Trump. "Boy, I love reading those WikiLeaks."​

And only a month before the 2016 election:

"This WikiLeaks stuff is unbelievable," Trump said during a Florida rally less than a month from Election Day. "It tells you the inner heart, you gotta read it."​

So yes, the U.S. version of Sargent Schultz knows nothing about WikiLeaks in the same way he knows nothing about having multiple affairs with women and paying those women to keep quiet about the affairs.

tRump has been known to drape himself onto anyone that has the public's attention. In this case, Julian Assange had double the value for tRump.


“I know nothing about Wikileaks,” Trump told reporters. “It’s not my thing.”

However, as CNBC’s Christina Wilkie reports, Trump loved WikiLeaks so much back in 2016 that he had a poster of Assange in his campaign’s debate war room that featured the caption, “Dear Hillary, I miss reading your classified emails.”

Trump literally had a poster of Julian Assange up on the wall in his 2016 presidential campaign debate war room. It featured Assange saying: “Dear Hillary, I miss reading your classified emails.”

All told, Trump extolled WikiLeaks more than 100 times, and a poster of Assange hung backstage at the Republican’s debate war room.

Yeah, candidate Donald Trump LOVED WikiLeaks back when they were releasing all of those hacked Democratic Party e-mails revelaing just how corrupt & dishonest Mrs. Clinton and her campaign were, but now that Julian Assange has been arrested and faces extradition to the U.S. it would seem that President Trump is no longer interested.

It's kind of like the Democrats were with Robert Mueller. I mean, he was their HERO back when they were reporting on CNN that Trump's presidency wouldn't make it to the end of 2017, and then they were saying that it wouldn't survive beyond 2018, but now that Mueller's investigation has been completed and Trump has survived, the Democratic Party feels betrayed.

Some liberals are still clinging to the hope that Mueller actually said that Trump colluded with the Russians and obstructed justice, and that it's all there in his report if we just dig down hard enough to find it. But the realists among them know that it's truly over.

You know it, Ruben! Presidential lying is BAD - and if you do it under oath you can even be IMPEACHED!

"I never had sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky - and I never asked anyone to lie about it - not a single time!" - President Bill Clinton

And if you repeatedly lie to pass a deeply-flawed piece of legislation, your party can (and will) lose 63-House & 6-Senate seats in a single election (see: 2010!)

"If you like your doctor, you can keep him... PERIOD! And if you like your current health plan, you can keep it... PERIOD!" - President Barack Obama

He'll be gone on January 20, 2025, Ruben, after wrapping up his second term!

And then you can be happy again.
 
Here's the funny thing. All your deflections tell us is you voted in someone who is at least as bad as Clinton, and yet you keep defending him.

Obi Wan was correct. Who is more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him?
 
Trump forgot all about Wikileaks because his brain is full. What can you do? He can’t handle any more. His brain is full.
