with information now released it shows China did interfere

The answer is obvious, he’s afraid of the midterm elections will turn out and is therefore attacking the integrity of the election system. He is a serial liar as we all know. This is simply another one of his legion of lies.

I am Chinese. In China, we call Trump "川建国," meaning "Trump helps building China." If China truly meddling in the US election, believe me, China was definitely supporting Trump.
@
any rational person can see the lie, only MAGA can believe it's truth from a liar and a felon, repeat it enough, the poorly educated and uniformed will believe it's truth!

Trump is a grifter a liar and there to take fools money. America has become a sad commentary in the past years. Its leaders and citizens should be ashamed and disgusted and force change, but your weak, easily led. Id be voting for China if I were you.
@

@
Trump would accuse Jesus if it meant he could destroy democracy and stay in power
@
If we understand private property,the accuse is most probably inside and then people blame others
@
Lol why would Trump be worried about Chinese meddling?
Like Russia, China prefers Trump as president because he's always helping them or messing up
Hence why the Chinese call Trump their Nation Builder
@
I think he meant israel
