Sarcasm?

Trump says his comments about Russia hacking our systems to find Hillary Clinton's missing emails was sarcasm http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/28/politics/donald-trump-russia-hacking-sarcastic/.  I think I know sarcasm, and when I list to his remarks, I do not hear sarcasm.

This is Trump, once again, recreating his history.  This is a common theme with Donald Trump.  He says something, then denies saying it, or tries to change its meaning.  And then he says Hillary Clinton is crooked.  How crooked can he get? Look at his businesses. They so misrepresent what they are. 

I just think that sarcasm about encouraging espionage is in poor taste coming from anyone, but coming from someone who is running for President?  It shows his lack of judgement and self-control.  This is not leadership behavior.

Trump's Real Reason for Running for President?

Donald Trump went to Scotland, to promote his golf course in Turnberry.  The press followed, and the United States citizens footed the bill for his Secret Service security detail.  His trip was to tout the Trump golf course.  It coincided with the "Brexit" vote in the United Kingdom, a referendum to decide whether or not to leave the European Union https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jun/24/donald-trump-hails-eu-referendum-result-as-he-arrives-in-uk.  So, this is my question.  Is this the real reason Donald Trump is running for President of the United States.

The truth is, although he is this self-proclaimed business tycoon, he has experienced bankruptcies, law suits, and questionable business practices. He admits himself if he does not like the work done for him, he does not pay, yet tries to hire the same companies again. 

So, here is my take.  I think Trump has seen all of these people in politics who enter with moderate or affluent standards of living and leave politics, or at least leave their elected positions with untold wealth.  Is this a scheme to promote his businesses? 

Who knows. But he is doing just this, and strategically landed himself in the United Kingdom at the time of the Brexit vote. Who is he trying to influence?  What is he trying to pull off here?  I am suspect of him.
