I asked for credible proof with regard to specific accusations; I note that your response is that parts of the intelligence community take these accusations seriously. Okay, so I guess they haven't seen hard proof yet, let's wait if it will surface anytime soon?

Now you've expanded the subject by asking me what more evidence I need to be alarmed. Well, that's just funny, for I was already alarmed by the prospect of his presidency even before the election. That's why I voted for Hillary although I dislike her, remember? ;)

Being alarmed or not alarmed is not the question at hand, however. I'm also a realist. Trump got elected and I can see why. Not because of the Russians. I respect the outcome of the election and consider Trump the legitimate president. Until and unless he commits a serious crime in office, I want him to execute the office to the best of his ability.

That's exactly my concern. I worry that when executing the office to the best of his ability it will not be in the interests of the United States.

This is where the fun will begin, I have always thought of him as an independent rather than a mainstream Republican, actually at a time he was a registered Democrat. Be that as it may, the Republican congress is in for many surprise.
Likely to be Trumps first battle with Republicans:

Part of the article says, "In the interview, Mr. Trump provided no details about how his plan would work or what it would cost."

Why am I not surprised?
