President Trump is sticking with his argument that millions of illegal immigrants voted in the 2016 presidential election, amid calls for him to provide proof and questions about whether he’ll indeed have an official probe into the issue.
“Many people have come out and said I am right,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly to be aired Sunday before the NFL Super Bowl.

Trump also said in the Fox interview that he has "respect" for Russian President Vladimir Putin, but that respect does not mean they'll get along.
"I say it’s better to get along with Russia than not,” he said. “And if Russia helps us in the fight against ISIS, which is a major fight, and Islamic terrorism all over the world -- that’s a good thing. … Will I get along with him? I have no idea."
Pressed about Putin's history of violence, Trump said: "There are a lot of killers. We’ve got a lot of killers. What do you think? Our country’s so innocent?

You won’t debate and you’ve repeatedly evaded questions directed at you.
You ask questions, and you get questions. That’s the way debates and exchanges work.
Stop evading the questions.
I am that single poster.
That very one.
If you choose to ignore my refutation(s), that's on you, not me.
A coward, a p***y, and a troll walk into a bar...
America has killed 60,000,000 unborn babies and sold the parts.
We’re just like everyone else in the world.
That is what this life battle is all about. To return to being a people better than that.
There certainly are things we ordinary Americans do not know. But I am Conservative as any and Trump is correct and I hate to say it. I also am a retired Police officer and have even been elected in politics.
RUSSIA and Putin HAS DONE TERRIBLE THINGS from what I Read AND
I Do not trust Russia or Putin but every nation at one time or the other has used help from an enemy.Our country has also helped Saudi Arabia and Syria.
Remember Waco,our nation murdered those people.
Do not fault Trump for telling the truth.
I ALSO have worked the polls and also ran for office once and was elected.After being elected and seeing the inside and how it works it is filthy and corrupt.I could have even bought some votes and would not Trump needs to learn to play the game but he is right.
Where is “there”?
When he says ‘THERE are a lot of killers’, I took it to mean that the WORLD has a lot of people who kill, not the USA- and when he spoke of OUR country not being so innocent, to me, he was implying that we have done some bad things along the way (Benghazi etc)...but in my mind, I did not take his comment to mean we were the moral equivalent (or amoral even!) of the murderous regimes around the world.
Maybe I’m just not a deep thinker, but that’s all I got from what he said. He’s a pretty simple guy at times and I think sometimes we’re so USED to having to parse a politician’s every single word to get at the truth, its just a habit.
That’s my two cents- going back to baking wings for the game!
Go Patriots! .....SuZQ
That was awesome.
So, in point of fact, we DO have DIRECT moral equivalency with Stalin. Not quite the point President Trump was trying to make -- he was clearly talking about Putin vs. us in the same era -- but still.
donna, thanks for that really awesome observation.
Damn! We should gave elected Hillary. She would have invaded Russia and taught Putin a lesson or two about civility and human rights like abortion and gay marriage and free healthcare and socialism and unlimited immigration, etc. Peace, bro. /s
Apparently you are immune to facts. I have only read a few replies so far and you have already had your position obliterated with facts.
As they say, you can't change a person's mind using reason when they didn't use reason to form their view in the first place. Your "interpretation" is based on a false premise that you have not supported with either logic or facts.
LOL. Thank God a few of ya are sane in CA. :) :) :)
And to think I used to like you. :)
RISE UP!
Of course there’s a moral equivalence...Trump knows that...I know that...Who doesn’t know that???
What did Putin do in Crimea that Obama and Hillary did not do in Libya, or Egypt, or Syria??? Why pretend we are the White Knight when anyone can see we’re not???
Trump knows that to deal with Putin and the rest of the world we have to clean up our act if we are going to be persuasive...And that is Trump’s plan...
Hey Mr. Con-servative, instead of running for the tall grass, next time ya put up a thread with a bogus title instead of the link title, you should at least be prepared to answer legitimate questions.
It’s. Not about what Trump said, it’s about what you said regarding sitting. Out 2020 election.
Makes you look like a flaming Pussy.
>However, to suggest there is some sort of moral equivalence between our killings and those of a regime that under Stalin murdered, what, 10 million, 20 million people? and under Putin regularly murders political opponents — WTH???
Conflating Putin and Stalin might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Now Stalin and Hillary... might just fit.
I actually think that Trump doesn’t sugar coat and is very honest. I like that. Conservatives have always always believed in dem vote fraud. Also we have to deal with unsavory governments all the time. That’s all he’s saying.
Like always, you can’t always vote for who you would like, more and more we vote to exclude who is unbearable (we may be deplorable but Hillary was unbearable). What if Trump was running against Chelsea Clinton, fr’instance. UGH. President Trump is NOT and has never been a politician, he can fix problems, sometimes speaking too loudly and carrying a BIG stick. Our country has inherited a lot of problems...just as Obummer blamed everything on Bush, I don’t know why President Trump doesn’t declare outright, Obummer’s fault.
LOL!
Who? Hmmn. Do you deny Assad buys a lot of their oil?
ISIS has many fathers including Iran and Syria; powers that Russia backs that killed our soldiers in Iraq.
No one denies Russia is a dump and Putin a gangster while their populace lives in poverty but he’s still better than ISIS or AQ.
No, the question he was asked limited it to Putin. How many people do you suppose died in Lybia, Syria and Iraq because of the actions of the US government? How many died because of the Arab Spring our government supported? Is Putin responsible for more deaths than that? I would guess no.
