Trump: 'Fake news' tried to 'disparage' a 'great' meeting with Putin

Source: The Hill



BY KYLE BALLUCK - 07/22/18 09:28 AM EDT

President Trump said in a tweet early Sunday that he had a “great” meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding that “fake news” has worked to “disparage” it.




Trump was roundly criticized for his performance at a press conference last Monday alongside Putin in Helsinki during which he appeared to embrace Putin’s denial of election meddling and said the U.S. shared blame for tense relations between Washington and Moscow.

The president and his staff later attempted to walk back and clarify his comments.

Trump last week also blasted coverage of the summit, calling the “fake news media” the “real enemy of the people.”

putin, of course, exploits trump's fragile ego by seeming to sympathize and commiserate with him because putin says he shares his "fake news" trouble. sad.

So great that Putin is setting the tone for the 'verbal agreements' and Donald cannot disprove them.

America is expected to follow up on these unspecified agreements.

This is the kid who flunks the math test and keeps telling his teacher he got an 'A'.

It's a mental disorder. The subconscious refusal to recognize reality, to believe anything other than the greatest about oneself.

Will be remembered 500 years from now. If there are 500 more years.
