Another day, another Donald Trump rage fest on Truth Social. This one was normal for the most part, typical grievances and memes calling him the greatest president of all time.

But on Monday, Trump went too far and said something so shocking, people can’t believe it. We all knew Trump thought this way…but to actually say it out loud?

Trump took to Truth Social and said that he trusts Russian president Vladimir Putin more than the “lowlifes” who work in U.S. intelligence.

Those “lowlifes” are American men and women who have devoted their lives to keeping our country safe. And the former president actually calls them lowlifes, and says he trusts a dictator and murderer like Putin over his own American intelligence officials.

Trump referred back to comments he made after meeting with Putin in Helsinki, Finland, in 2018 when he said that he didn’t “see any reason” why Russia would have meddled in the 2016 election, despite what the FBI stated.

Trump once again suggested he trusts Putin over U.S. intelligence while sharing an article about former FBI official Charles McGonigal, a leading figure in the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia ahead of the 2016 election. McGonigal was recently arrested on suspicion of a number of offenses, including working with sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.

And there’s much more to the McGonigal scandal that Trump is leaving out:

Just to be clear, when the New York Times reported that the FBI saw “no link between Trump and Russia” — a week before the 2016 election — the FBI agent who was just arrested over ties to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska was heading up the investigation.

Just an absolute scandal. pic.twitter.com/0SQ6zr1zMV

Trump wrote, “Remember in Helsinki when a 3rd rate reporter asked me, essentially, who I trusted more, President Putin of Russia, or our “Intelligence” lowlifes. My instinct at the time was that we had really bad people in the form of James Comey, McCabe (whose wife was being helped out by Crooked Hillary while Crooked was under investigation!), Brennan, Peter Strzok (whose wife is at the SEC) & his lover, Lisa Page. Now add McGonigal & other slime to the list. Who would you choose, Putin or these Misfits?”

Trump has repeatedly been criticized for siding with Putin both as president and since he left the White House. In 2018 following his disgusting defense of Putin in Helsinki, Chuck Schumer said that “in the entire history of our country, Americans have never seen a president of the United States support an American adversary” in the way Trump has Putin.

“For the president of the United States to side with President Putin against American law enforcement, American defense officials, and American intelligence agencies is thoughtless, dangerous, and weak,” Schumer tweeted. “The president is putting himself over our country.”

Trump did eventually say he misspoke, but with this newest post on Truth Social, we see that he was telling the truth at the press conference in Helsinki.

BREAKING: Pres. Trump says he misspoke during a key moment in his remarks about Russian interference in the 2016 election: "I said the word ‘would’ instead of ‘wouldn’t’ … The sentence should have been: 'I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be Russia’” https://t.co/CEtaU7vcEG pic.twitter.com/qFEB3HG4EY

And people on Twitter were equally disgusted, and shocked:

This morning, Donald Trump posted on TruthSocial that he sides with Vladimir Putin and "trusted him more" than the U.S. Intelligence Community, and refered to the men and women of our intelligence agencies as "lowlifes."

No, this is not parody.

The Intelligence Lowlifes have kept AMERICA SAFE from Russia for 78 years now.
Donald Trump is a moron and if you listening to him you are a fucking idiot.
He is going to flee prosecution and leave you standing there looking even dumber.

We learned last week that Bill Barr said to NSA they'd better not 'f*ck him' and to play ball in his attempts to help Trump cover his ties to Russia and find dirt on HRC. Today Trump called US Intelligence lowlifes and again sided with Putin over USA and we still pretend its OK.

The only 3rd-rate lowlifes, bad people, slime and misfits I find in this statement are the entire Trump family, ALL of his "advisers" and most of his ill-informed voters. If I had to make the choice he's asking for, I'd go with any American over Putin, any day.

But, but… he would have ‘gotten Putin out Ukraine’, because he’s the ‘Putin whisperer’… uh huh.

Vlad didn’t want this chump in the Oval Office because he liked the way he did his hair, that’s for damn sure.

Here’s what John McCain said after the Helsinki summit.

Will there be one Republican who would stand up to #TraitorTrump today? How about McCain’s friend @LindseyGrahamSC? pic.twitter.com/YvSya3jSLE

Trump's sedition continues. He is a disgrace to the United States.

And here is the picture, just before the question of who he trusts more…

Clearly Putin just told him how to answer that…..or Putin releases the Epstein tapes of Trump

I saw the Helsinki statement live and was utterly stunned that a President would commit open treason in front of the entire world. I was even more stunned that he suffered absolutely no consequences for his treason. Where is justice in America?
