Americans against good U.S. relations with Russia are “stupid,” the president-elect tweeted on Saturday.

Under fire for refusing to denounce what U.S. intelligence officials insist is Russian interference in the 2016 election, Donald Trump said the nation needs warmer relations with its longtime adversary.

“Having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. Only ‘stupid’ people, or fools, would think that it is bad! We . . . have enough problems around the world without yet another one. When I am President, Russia will respect us far more than they do now,” Trump tweeted.

Trump continued to blame the ongoing Russian hacking controversy on the Democratic National Committee’s porous computer security and insisted the exposure of the private DNC e-mails did not sway the election.

“Intelligence stated very strongly there was absolutely no evidence that hacking affected the election results. Voting machines not touched!” he tweeted.

Trump wrote, the “only reason the hacking of the poorly defended DNC is discussed is that the loss by the Dems was so big that they are totally embarrassed!”

A 25-page report released Friday and prepared by the CIA, FBI and the NSA stated Russia’s cyber spying represented “a significant escalation in directness, level of activity and scope of effort compared to previous operations” to disrupt the “US-led liberal democratic order.”

Russian propagandists supported Occupy Wall Street and anti-fracking movements in an attempt to destabilize the U.S. and eliminate competition for Russian-owned energy companies, the report also asserted.
