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.

Just tell them he wrote it late at night. Wasn’t doesn’t really mean “wasn’t”. Whatever “is” “is”.

Should I not have clarified anything. What he should do is call these phonies’ bluff. Get war authorization powers from Congress. Have them declare war on Russia and give Trump the power to fight it. Watch them cowar!

Yes, but saying he misspoke just isn't good enough.

Certainly not after all the faux rage and caterwauling the MSM, Dems and RINO's had to gin up over the last 24 hrs.

He should have let it go. Just gives the criminals fodder.

Ditto. He didn’t say anything wrong at the press conference. No one with any brain would blame him for not trusting our “intelligence” since so many of those people are anti-American, seditious, delusional traitors. Screw them. I trust the Russians more than them and I don’t trust the Russians.

Oh, well, maybe this will settle down now, and the left will stop calling for Trump to be overthrown because he said something they don’t like.

“I accept our intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election took place,” he said, adding: “It could be other people also.”

Trump already knows it was Seth Rich. He had to go through this nonsense to quell the storm. But I like the way he mentions “other people” as a signal he knows the truth.

Seems like this week both Dems & Repubs are coming after him with a vengeance.

I think it will only get worse.

A sign that the *&** is about to hit the fan? One can only hope.

Meanwhile, Sean Hannity has the highest rated show on TV. It even beat out the Bachelorette. Who care what these rivals say, the TV viewer gets it.

The morning Fox guys and 2 gals are still with Trump.

No, they’re not. Doocy was whining all morning that Trump should have let Putin have it - as if some doofus on TV knows better about how to move our country’s agenda forward than Trump.

no but its enough for the majority of voters. These deep state hysterics were going to scream about something because the indictments specifically exonerates all American involvement on the alleged “hacking” which I don’t think even happened.

Did not hear doocy this morning... had it on but missed his turncoat. Brian has been a supporter.. and Abby’s father was on Fox from russia... she was still speaking for Trump. I have watched very little TV since all this hit the fan... can’t take their lies and biased reporting while obama and hillary are not mentioned!!

the media and globalist robots think they see blood in the water re the President—but it’s just the spilling over of their own Kool-Aid...


Excellent and accurate description. Love your commentary.

Watched the interview with Hannity. President Trump looks worn down, which makes me wonder if all the constant attacks are taking a toll on him.

To be honest, you couldn't PAY me enough money, to be constantly run through the meat grinder, like this man, and his family, have been.

I wrote a message to Fox News this afternoon saying I never thought I’d stop watching Outnumbered... Until today, and that The Five was probably not far behind (out the door). I’ve gotten tired of finding something else, like TCM or Pawn Stars so I can hit “previous channel” when Juan, Marie or the other lefty idiots’ mugs appear on the screen.

You know the scam FAKE media has their collective deep state stories in synch when every single one of them pees their panties collectively. Just like that Gold Star knave story. Hmmm. I would have preferred the President not say anything. It makes it appear he actually cares about what the FAKEs peddle on the airwaves. Tempest in a teapot though. Move on to the next fake news outrage.

No, we’re not still debating that Trump own.

Only the losers are doing that.

They must have gotten to Trump somehow... I wish he had not had to apologize... they have done so much dirty attacks against him... They are unworthy of any apology or explanation.

I feel more kindly toward putin than I do any of those in our government.. I know putin is not my kind.. but the ones we send to Washington and all combined.. have done so much against us out here and Trump.. there is no respect left for them and their lies have become their best trait... they hate and revenge anyone that doesn’t bow.

A)
President Trunp” “The Russians meddled”
The news freaks: “Trump is a paid Kremlin troll.”

B)
President Trump: “I don’t know if the Russians meddled.”
The news freaks “Trump is a paid Kremlin troll.”

The boilerplate never varies
