During his Sunday madness tweet storm over the Russia investigation, Trump claimed that anyone who supports the Russia investigation is not a real American.
Trump tweeted:
….At what point does this soon to be $20,000,000 Witch Hunt, composed of 13 Angry and Heavily Conflicted Democrats and two people who have worked for Obama for 8 years, STOP! They have found no Collussion with Russia, No Obstruction, but they aren’t looking at the corruption…

…in the Hillary Clinton Campaign where she deleted 33,000 Emails, got $145,000,000 while Secretary of State, paid McCabes wife $700,000 (and got off the FBI hook along with Terry M) and so much more. Republicans and real Americans should start getting tough on this Scam.

Blink and you might miss it among the pile of lies and conspiracy theories that Trump tweeted, but read his reference to Americans who support him as being real Americans, which implies that anyone who wants a good, clean, Russia-free, non-corrupt government is un-American. Down is up when it comes to Trump. Keeping foreign countries from interfering in US elections, and prosecuting Americans who illegally cooperate with them is considered an unpatriotic act by this president.
According to Trump if you want to be a real flag-waving red, white, and blue American, ignore the Russia investigation and blindly support the president.
Trump thinks that he is America, and he is demanding your unquestioningly blind worship.
