Trump has completely 180ed




Attempting to clean up the fallout, President Trump now tells reporters he has full faith in the intelligence community and accepts their conclusion — after 24 hours of backlash after he sided with Putin and Russia over his own agencies.




MORE: Trump says he meant to say in Helsinki that he saw no reason why it would not be Russia that interfered in elections

Donald Trump says he misspoke on election meddling and he sees no reason why Russia would not be responsible




.........................

This makes it even worse......complete delusion. He now "mispoke"..utter bullshit, remember when Hillary used to get slaughtered for that and she never committed treason.

Which is why we need to keep screaming from the roof tops. He's a TRAITOR. Let's keep saying it. Keep the heat on. While we're at it, no more voting machines. Paper ballots only. If it takes days to count ballots so be it. Russia can have no opportunity to do this again. There are GOPer members of Congress who are complicit in the effort to swing/steal elections.

That had a history of public service. You know, people who knew what they were doing and weren't just criminals or con men off the street.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-17/trump-says-he-accepts-intelligence-conclusion-that-russia-meddled-in-2016-election



Trump told reporters that he misspoke at the summit.

“My people came to me and some others, they said they think it’s Russia,” Trump said Monday, while standing next to Putin. “I have President Putin, he just said it’s not Russia. I will say this, I don’t see any reason why it would be. I have confidence in both parties.”

On Tuesday, he said he meant to say he didn’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be Russia.

This is fucking absurd.

Everyone saw him say what he said, and its meaning was clear in context.

He looks like the classic murderous Russian spy and he made Trump look like a weak, pathetic little lap-dog.
