More evidence that Donald Trump is actually just 10 different catchphrases operating a giant leather pumpkin.

On Friday, it was revealed that a federal grand jury has indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities for alleged illegal interference in the 2016 election in the favor of — you guessed it — the gob of cheese wiz in chief.

The indictment, which came from special counsel Robert Mueller's office, said that a Russian organization called the Internet Research Agency attempted to wage "information warfare" against the U.S. by using fake personas and social media platforms.

Officials of this so-called "troll farm," allegedly under the control of a wealthy associate of Vladimir Putin, reportedly travelled to America to conduct research for fine-tuning social media posts and steal real people's identities to purchase online ads.

The effort was apparently launched in 2014, and, according to the indictment, was "supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald J. Trump … and disparaging Hillary Clinton" by early to mid-2016.

So, what does the stable genius have to say about all this? His two favorite words: "No collusion!"

The President took to Twitter to profess that the "Trump campaign did nothing wrong," reminding citizens that the Russians launched this campaign LONG before he announced his presidential bid:

Russia started their anti-US campaign in 2014, long before I announced that I would run for President. The results of the election were not impacted. The Trump campaign did nothing wrong - no collusion!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 16, 2018

Hmm… maybe Vlad's campaign started a year before Trump's official announcement, but the blabbermouth was teasing his presidential run throughout 2014 — MAGA catchphrase included:

We need a President who isn't a laughing stock to the entire World. We need a truly great leader, a genius at strategy and winning. Respect!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 9, 2014

I wonder if I run for PRESIDENT, will the haters and losers vote for me knowing that I will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN? I say they will!

If that's not enough, Twitter responders supplied even more detailed receipts:

Mr. Trump, you told the Russians you'd be running for president in Moscow in November 2013—and indeed it was that declaration that led to the anti-U.S. campaign in early 2014. Cohen had made clear by mid-2013 you were running; you confirmed it to the Agalarovs and Yulya Alferova. https://t.co/UyjT9QMqbE

2/ In Spring 2013, The New York Post interviewed Michael Cohen about the bevy of presidential polls you had put in the field. Cohen said, in answer to questions about whether this meant you were running for president, "Well, we're not taking these polls to stow them in a drawer."

3/ Immediately thereafter—mere weeks—Russia suddenly put in a bid for the 2013 Miss Universe pageant by wooing you face-to-face at the Miss USA pageant in Las Vegas in June. The Russian delegation needed mere hours to convince you Russia should leapfrog 19 nations for the honor.

I mean, it’s not like you were there the year before… Wait! What? You were? In 2013? Ain’t that some shit. pic.twitter.com/kCkRq70pin

Need we say more?

Okay, we will…. collusion.
