The Wrap reports:
President Donald Trump was watching “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday, tweeting out his gratitude to the Fox News morning show over a segment focusing on President Obama’s handling of the Russia threat. Trump added an attack on Obama, pulled word for word from the “Fox & Friends” line up. The tweets came after show co-hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade all but addressed Trump directly on Tuesday with an extended case arguing that President Obama had not been tough enough about confronting the Russia threat while he was in office.
Thank you to @foxandfriends for the great timeline on all of the failures the Obama Administration had against Russia, including Crimea, Syria and so much more. We are now starting to win again!

“There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections, there’s no evidence that that has happened in the past or that it will happen this time, and so I’d invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and make his case to get votes.” …..

….The President Obama quote just before election. That’s because he thought Crooked Hillary was going to win and he didn’t want to “rock the boat.” When I easily won the Electoral College, the whole game changed and the Russian excuse became the narrative of the Dems.

Republicans are now leading the Generic Poll, perhaps because of the popular Tax Cuts which the Dems want to take away. Actually, they want to raise you taxes, substantially. Also, they want to do nothing on DACA, R’s want to fix!

Hope Republicans in the Great State of Pennsylvania challenge the new “pushed” Congressional Map, all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary. Your Original was correct! Don’t let the Dems take elections away from you so that they can raise taxes & waste money!

I have been much tougher on Russia than Obama, just look at the facts. Total Fake News!

The facts are that @realDonaldTrump won’t impose Obama’s sanctions on Russia.
The facts are that Trump doesn’t mind if Russia keeps interfering in our elections if it benefits him politically.
The facts are that Trump is doing more to threaten our democracy than Putin. https://t.co/lTgU6f7qan

Trump then: “I will tell you this, Russia: If you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,”
Trump now: “Obama was President up to, and beyond, the 2016 Election. So why didn’t he do something about Russian meddling?” https://t.co/rD0wIMII6Q
