So it took 2 days for Trump to say he trusts his intel leaders?

When that call comes in at the White House at 3 AM, what will Trump say? He'll say you're a liar and come back to you in two days.

Just let that sink in.

Trump got information about Russian interference in the 2016 election from his intelligence agencies that conflicted with what Putin was telling him. Trump went with Putin.

Even Paul Ryan was moved to remark that Trump perhaps needed to be reminded that Russia is not our ally.

what the reports said about their testimony was fake news?

To my knowledge he hasn't said he believed them.

And no one can believe a word he says.
