From CNN's Kevin Liptak

President Trump said on Wednesday he holds his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin personally responsible for Moscow's attempts to interfere in the 2016 US election.
.........................................
"I would because he’s in charge of the country just like I consider myself to be responsible for things that happen in this country," Trump said. "So certainly as the leader of the country you would have to hold him responsible."

He said his message to Putin warning against future meddling was "very strong" during their meeting Monday.

"I let him know we can’t have this. We’re not going to have it. And that’s the way it’s going to be," Trump said.

I want to see the translator's transcript. Trump must be dizzy with his back and forth on so many issues!

video clip at link

The article opens with Trump says...........we know he says different things day by day, sometimes hour by hour!

[sandensea]

1. And is eternally grateful he did it.

[Freethinker65]

9. +1000 BFF

[donkeypoofed]

2. I call B.S. !!

He always only says whatever is on his mind at the time. He's lying. He always is these days and the pace is picking up lately.

[Fred Sanders]

3. What time was it when he said this because it will be different the next hour.

Same guy is considering offering up American citizens, and even not his own citizens, for interrogation and death...sure, we all believe you now!

[LBM20]

4. Traitor Don's latest LIE. He is a pathological fucking LIAR and nothing more.

[Talitha]

25. THIS...

[bucolic_frolic]

5. Meaningless Trump Vapor

He hasn't a clue how to hold anyone accountable. He just makes noise. He got his clock cleaned in Helsinki and he's puffing bravery like a blowfish. Vladdy's just going to continue doing it, and Trump will allow it so his party gains. This is TTBS - Total Trump Bull Shit.

[underpants]

6. Bragging around friends on the ride home from getting embarrassed

[yonder]

7. I need a neck brace from all this whiplash.

WTF, make up yer mind, Mr. preznut.

[greyl]

8. Dotard was claiming Putin wasn't behind it.

He purposefully limited the definition of "responsible" to be only in the sense that it happened in Russia, not that Vlad directed it.

Dotard was claiming Putin wasn't behind it, without being so blunt.

[greyl]

24. .

26. YOU'RE FIRED!!!!

He's not living up to his inagural oath.. fire the SOB!!

[SergeStorms]

28. For the past year and a half....

Trump has been denying Putin and Russia had anything to do with it. Now that he's finally starting to get some flack on the home front, from the media and even some Republicans, he's backtracking on 18 months of denials?

Fuck you, Donnie, and the Russian pony you rode in on.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. ROFLMAO Trump is claiming he's got our backs!

What fool would believe him?

[dchill]

27. Maybe Michael McDonald?

What a fool believes he sees
Is always better than nothing

[NCjack]

11. BS. The Yellow F'stick does not have the guts to say this to Putin's face.

An more BS: he doesn't take responsibility for bad outcomes of his Administration. Always the black guy's fault.

[hatrack]

12. As opposed to earlier this afternoon?

Gee, Shitstain, what changed?

Your medication dosage?

Or did you get a phone call from your KGBFF?

[olddad56]

13. He just didn't have the balls to tell that to Putin, face to face.

such a piece of shit. Always has been, what were even the stupid people thinking?

[yallerdawg]

14. Just not to Putin's face...

since we know he is a gutless coward who'll say anything behind someone's back.

Since we can't believe a word he says, one answer is as good as another in the credibility department.

[Stuart G]

15. Old expression....."Day Late, and A Dollar Short"

Kind of looks too stupid to say it is stupid...A full day goes by for this response. A FULL DAY

[olddad56]

17. WTF? The gaslighter extraordinaire is clearly insane (but we here all know that)

[thegoose]

18. The list from the meeting

MONDAY

Say it wasn't Russia because Daddy Poo-Poo said so.

TUESDAY

Say it might have been Russia or somebody else because Daddy Poo-Poo says there's lotsa people!

WEDNESDAY

Say it was "definitely Putin" and act all butch (well, as butch as a bloated, whining, ferret-headed orange anus can get) but it's okay because Daddy Poo-Poo said so -- but just this one time.

THURSDAY

Say it was a fat guy on a bed, like Daddy Poo-Poo wants...

[Solly Mack]

19. Bullshit

[dalton99a]

20. Funny stuff

[peekaloo]

21. Phew. I feel better now!

No cable but I saw him on CBS tonight whining about the fake news media and how they weren't reporting all the wonderful things that transpired during his two hour meeting. I kept waiting for Alfred E Neuman's better looking brother, Jeff Glor, to scream, " YOU MEAN THE ONE WHERE NO STAFF/MEDIA WERE ALLOWED TO ATTEND" but he just sat attentively staring at the fat fountain of un-truth and mildly asked, "What did you two discuss?"



btw are children still in cages?

[Puzzledtraveller]

22. He's putin us on.

[mn9driver]

29. 18 months of denials too late.

He’s been covering up for Putin all this time.

[AlexSFCA]

30. trifecta: collusion, conspiracy, treason (in that order)

all in the open with the evidence we as a public already have at our fingertips.

[duforsure]

31. trump and putin are being exposed

And they're desperately trying to openly stop it now before more is exposed about what they've done. their both serial liars, corrupt , and criminals, and trump and putin devised this scheme now to trade people to go after is all a farse , and they both know it. trumps basically admitted it numerous times he is an asset for putin, and not working for this country, he's working for russia. I think they clearly know it already , and what's taking more time is gathering up all their moles in this government undermining anything they want with their information on others, and using foreign intel to listen in on trumps opponents. I think the info they already have against these two will be jaw dropping when its exposed, and a lot worse than anyone imagined.

[raging moderate]

32. No, he didn't! Trump said he WOULD hold Putin responsible.

Trump was addressing the hypothetical case of how he would feel if such an interference had occurred. "Yes, I would," said Trump, "because he is responsible for everything that goes on in his country."


CNN blew it here. This headline is misleading.
