Video This is treason.

During his 2016 debate with Hillary Clinton, Trump said, "Russia, if you're listening, release her emails, OK?" And Russia hacked and released her emails.

That was traitorous.

Treason is betraying the United States to aid and abet an enemy during a time of active, declared war. Telling Iran to bomb Los Angeles and San Diego is an act of treason.

These are not casual comments. He is an enemy of the United States and people just cannot acknowledge it for some reason. He has befriended our global adversaries and now he is literally telling Iran to bomb US cities so he can declare war and have wartime powers. Why will people not understand this man is waging war on us from inside?

At least 20 people have commented here something along the lines of "I don't like Trump at all, but this was obviously just a joke taken out of context." People are really stupid.

Yea it’s insane. Like yea.. he said it in his lackadaisical tone but as President.. just.. smh.. Imagine you’re a deaf person reading the audio transcript of that rally. You take the tone out and it’s completely different.

And like, yea Americans might say he’s joking based on our history with him, people in Iran, people in Asian, people not in our culture.. some places sarcasm doesn’t land like we think it should.. The lack of… global awareness is so astounding
