Why does a hostile foreign

nation back GOP, Trump?

Re: “2016 election: Scale of Russian influence revealed” (Page A1, Dec. 17):

A report prepared for the Senate studied millions of posts on Facebook, Twitter and Google. It found Russia used every major social media platform to deliver words, images and videos tailored to voters’ interests to help elect Donald Trump.

All the messaging clearly sought to benefit the Republican Party and specifically Donald Trump. I wonder if those who have supported the GOP and, more directly, the president have had an introspective moment when they ask themselves: “Why does a hostile foreign nation who wishes ill will against the U.S., whose leader is a murderous criminal, support the same party and president that I did?”
