        America wasn't divided by Russian ads on FB or Russian trolls on twitter…that influence was infinitesimal compared to CNN, MSNBC, FOX, and talk radio. Twitter is an outrage machine…it needs no foreign input to promote division. https://twitter.com/inartic/status/937098643651174400 …

        Now what about when the CIA funnelled money through the NED & started the Reform Party in Canada, which became the Alliance Party. They made a hostile takeover of the Conservative Party, & finally won with an election fraud scandal? Wasn't that "meddling in our elections?

        Trump unexpectedly attacked our friend Qatar, siding w/the Saudis/UAE soon after he took office. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
