Trump says he misspoke on Russian meddling during press conference, accepts US intel findings
Fox News ^ | July 17, 2018

Posted on 07/17/2018 12:11:11 PM PDT by SMGFan

President Trump said Tuesday that he misspoke when he said he doesn’t see why Russia would have meddled in the 2016 presidential election, clarifying that he accepts the U.S. intelligence community’s findings of election interference.

At the White House on Tuesday, the president told reporters that he meant he doesn't see why Russia "wouldn't" be responsible.

In Helsinki, speaking at a press conference next to Vladimir Putin a day earlier, Trump had said he doesn't "see any reason why" Russia would be behind election meddling.

Stupid. His people give him terrible advice. They tried this after Charlottesville. He came out and tried to walk it back before giving a presser the next day and calling out Antifa (which he should). Why not a statement saying Russia did do some meddling which has been condemned in words and actions, and they will face consequences if they do it in the midterms. He should have brought up all the times Obama acquiesced to Russia and the media didn’t care. Then I would end it with details as to why the meddling and collusion have been interlinked in the press and the abject bias of the intel agencies as to his doubt. Yeah, the media would have a fit, but who cares anymore? If I were him, I’d say what I believe and screw it.

Who cares what they say? Honestly, he shouldn’t base anything on their complaints.

Both the UK Times and Sunday Times are Murdoch owned and both very anti Trump.

Poison fodder. Now all their angry chimp noises were wasted and they look even stupider.

Today Tucker had a great show with Cohen.

Also, Judge Jeanine Pirro is good.

Oh good lord.. Fox News is un-bearable anymore. That is your litmus? He was banging on bammy’s IC, not HIS IC heads. But you go right ahead and drink that koolaide Fox is feeding you. Do you still have cable? If so, that is your first mistake.

Maria Bartiromo Even she is borderline; she gets it: “don’t let the inner “mediot” show; or else. Fox has been going downhill for a long while now. That they have that poofter Shepard Smith still on is all that you need to know.

His remarks today (delayed video taped) weren’t even released and the news tickers were already ridiculing him and twisting his message.
Trump did fine. This is all just the latest “outrage” they are using to gaslight the ignorant. Next week it will be the next OMG!!! Drumpf!!!
Its getting so tiring people simply don’t care anymore. Their lives are actually good and they have money in their pocket.

I’m not watching the news these days. It’s no fun watching journalists foam at the mouth over subjects they have no clue about.

He should’ve stayed with the opposite viewpoint. If my intel agencies were going behind my back and trying to hamstring me, I wouldn’t trust them either.
