.
This was stated in a bi-partisan meeting of Congress members. No damage occurred due to Trumps statement. The only POTENTIAL damage occurred because someone from that meeting felt the need to leak what was said. I wonder what motivation was behind that?

Do you think it was to advance American interests? I don't.

Screw you and the scum who cannot put America first and feel the need to tattle about what was said behind closed doors.

You are all truly disgusting people.

This was a private conversation - not a public statement.

You are suggesting that FDR never said a disparaging word in private about the NAZIs or the Japs
