Read it til the end.

The fact that Trump said a hundred times "she did it" does not make it true. This man is a notorious liar, doing anything to put himself into the spotlight. this is what his campaign all about, lie and throw dirt, and it will stick if you only repeat it a hundred times.

The other fact that alt-right to racist media like Breitbart are now regarded as "respectable" or "socially acceptable" really gives me the creeps.
The last good example was that "imperial wizard" (KKK) defending the southern honour publicly. Nope, not with me.
Then how about this 2015 article from no less than the NYT that supports what Trump has said? Maybe it's this article published when the NYT still pretended to be neutral that President Trump was thinking about:

Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the
world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium
production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a
strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had
to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number
of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually
signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife,
Hillary Rodham Clinton.

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three
separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow
of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman
used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35
million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the
Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama
White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to
the company made donations as well.

And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a
majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a
Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin
that was promoting Uranium One stock.
So none of this happened? The Russians didn't get controlling interest in Uranium One? The Clinton foundation never got those donations? Bill never got half a million bucks from the Russians for a speech? I think you pick your sources but one thing is for sure. Clinton herself claimed to be dead broke when she left the White House (maybe that's why they tried to steal the furniture) but now she is worth millions. Pretty good for a poor public servant just trying to help people...
