President Trump said Sunday Russia accomplished its goal of creating “discord, disruption and chaos” in the United States and now Russians are “laughing their asses off” at the U.S.
“If it was the GOAL of Russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the U.S. then, with all of the Committee Hearings, Investigations and Party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. They are laughing their asses off in Moscow. Get smart America!” Trump tweeted.

Trump spent the early part of Sunday morning tweeting thoughts about Russian meddling in the 2016 election, criticisms of the Obama administration made by Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and a $1.7 billion payment to Iran made by the Obama administration as a part of the nuclear deal.
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation revealed a yearslong influence campaign run by a St. Petersburg-based firm to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
According to the indictment, a firm of paid Russian trolls used social media to stir up partisan rancor and political anger online throughout much of 2015 and 2016. The influence campaign was not only meant to divide Americans but to also harm Hillary Clinton’s chances of getting elected, the indictment argued.
While the indictment did not allege any members of the Trump campaign knowingly worked with the Russians, it did state the firm eventually developed a preference for Trump and worked to get him elected.
