The reporter who asked President Trump whether Russia is still seeking to meddle in U.S. elections asserted on Wednesday that the president was answering her directly when he said that it was not.
"Yes, he was looking directly at me when he spoke. Yes, I believe he heard me clearly. He answered two of my questions," Cecilia Vega, a White House correspondent for ABC News, wrote on Twitter, posting a transcript of the exchange.

The tweet came after White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that Trump was not answering Vega's question, but rather "saying 'no' to answering questions."
"He does believe that they would target, certainly, [the] U.S. election," Sanders said.

(38,453 posts)It means this, "No, Russia is not now targeting the U.S."
and....of course that is a lie, because as these words are typed on a computer, you better believe that Russia is targeting the U.S. And you had better believe that we are targeting Russia. Isn't that the way it works?, Has worked, and will work?
Or am I missing something?

It's not that difficult to say "no more questions" when that's what you mean, and I'd wager that TheRump has said exactly that many times because that's what you say when you don't want to take any more questions.
