First, plenty of people are messing with America, of course. The Russians would never have dared to do the DNC hack if they respected or feared Obama. And the same goes for many other examples. Trump ran on an American nationalist platform -- we're not looking to start any trouble or intervene in other people's affairs but we're not going to be taken advantage of anymore. Which is just as it should be.

Second, this point, in addition to being completely correct, also happens to be very useful in framing the issue. The Democrats are trying to somehow associate Trump with the Russian hacking and portray him as virtually Putin's man in the White House, which is a f'ing outrage. In reality, the hack happened on Obama and the Dems' watch and if it shows anything, it's the weakness of the administration that permitted it. That weakness, which invites derision and disrespect, is coming to an end as of 1/20/2017.
