"George W. Bush: There's clear evidence Russia 'meddled' in 2016 election"

In an article on Politico by Louis Nelson, he takes a look back at the controversial 2016 presidential election. Former President George W. Bush has been lead to believe that there is evidence that Russia meddled in the election, whether or not they affected the results of the election is a different story though. This caused for George W. Bush to say, "It's problematic that a foreign nation is involved in our election system. Our democracy is only as good as people trust the results." Clearly Bush isn't happy with what has currently been going on in the presidential race or the results of it. Even though the former president never mentioned Trump by name, everyone is well aware of who he is talking about and the situation at hand. The article says, "Bush's unequivocal statements on the issue ran counter to the rhetoric that has emerged from the Trump administration." So basically everything that Bush was criticizing had to relate to the Trump administration, whether or not that was ever clearly stated, it was implied. 

With all these accusations over the matter that Trump has been receiving the ones from George W. Bush weren't the only ones coming at him. Even with many people judging the situation he still stuck to concealing that the Russian government was behind the cyberattack and had no involvement, yet his rhetoric about the subject increasingly has become weaker and weaker. Overall, Trump's stance and relations with Russia has perplexed many U.S. citizens, allies, and lawmakers from both the Republican and Democratic Party. Along with all this confusion I know I am also on that side. It's hard to believe what President Trump is truly doing and if he really has the best intentions for our country in mind. I guess the only way to find out is to tell with time, but he already has a lot of that without much to show for it.
