Who OK’d their lighting and staging? It made them look like if you say their names three times while facing a mirror they’ll appear behind you. It would make anyone look harsh. They went with this optic with all the people they know in Hollywood and the networks? Seriously. pic.twitter.com/8PusDio0iN

Russia:
If you look at the headline, it justifies the liberal idea that Trump was working with the Russians. However if you look into the story, Manafort was talking about polling info with a friend and that friend had a friend who was a Russian.
