america that, you know, this is what is dangerous. the media is dangerous. hillary clinton is dangerous. the justice department is dangerous. anything that is a threat to me and my power and to my freedom, frankly, is dangerous. so, you know, frankly, i ve been telling thaw mexicans and central americans are dangerous. we know for a fact that the russians attacked this country. we know for a fact that the russians targeted this country, again, in the midterms and maybe weren t as successful, but, in fact, perhaps targeting this country again in the 2020 election. this country has not done anything or at least not done enough to stop them or to prevent or to protect our elections going forward. so this president has left our country unguarded. and, yet, he is saying that, hey, be afraid of this, this, this and this.
