Normally, I wouldn't include a Fox news article, but I'm making an exception for this piece, in case anyone wants to share it with family or friends who are Fox watchers.

Most importantly, on election meddling, Trump refused to stand with U.S. intelligence and charge Putin with interference, saying he doesnt see any reason why it would be the Russians carrying out the illegal meddling.
For a sitting U.S. president to say publicly that he believes a foreign leader over his own intelligence team is shocking and admonishable. At a time when our democracy faces grave threats, it is deeply troubling that the president would side with the very country who attacked us.
Additionally, Trumps failure to distinguish between campaign collusion and Russias blatant attack on our democracy allowed Putin to sow more discord during the press conference.
Could you name a single fact that would definitely prove the collusion? This is utter nonsense, just like the president recently mentioned, Putin told a reporter.

Nothing is going to happen once again.
