Trump’s lawyers say that Trump has no financial ties to Russia, “with a few exceptions.” And Twitter responds hilariously with new hashtag, #WithFewExceptions.
On Thursday, Donald Trump made his latest pathetic attempt to clear himself from the Russia investigation. This time he had his lawyers send him a certified letter stating that he has no financial ties to Russia.

Fun little fact….Trump’s law firm, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, actually has an office in Moscow and was named “Russia Law Firm of the Year” in 2016. Seriously. You just can’t make this shit up.
But I digress.
In the letter, Trump’s lawyers say that after reviewing the past 10 years of Trump’s tax returns, they didn’t find “any income of any type from Russian sources.” But they added one very important little clause, “with a few exceptions.”
And social media pounced.
Within an hour after the letter was released on Friday, the Twitter hashtag #WithFewExceptions was trending number one in the U.S. and number three worldwide.
People here at home and around the world are once again mercilessly mocking the President. And the responses are hilarious.
Trump has always been honest, #withfewexceptions
