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?

Trump is being diplomatic.
You’re just being a dipstick.
He never said there was a moral equivalence. But what if you do happen to know his innermost thoughts on the subject? If he can get past his negative thoughts and do everything right, as you’ve indicated you think he’s doing, why can’t you?
What part of this is not true or accurate?
I agree with this statement.
Is there some other way to interpret this other than Trump created a moral equivalence between killings in Soviet/Putin Russia and the USA?
Utter balderdash. Stuff and nonsense. If he HAD made an ACTUAL moral equivilent, I might see your point, but you INFER he was referring to Stalin's genocide of his own people and trying to equate it with the scattering of killing America has done (very seldomly against it's own people!)
Jeez, this is some Concern Troll shit, right here.
Whenever I have doubts about Trump I simply remind myself of who hates him and why. And then I am reassured that he is absolutely the right guy for the job.
Trump on!
MAGA!
No personal attacks.
The thing is, is this is just one thing Trump said and we have it out of the context of an interview.
I’m not a fan of the statements by themselves; so we will have to see.
Actions speak louder than words.
“and under Putin regularly murders political opponents “
Probably no more than the Clintons have murdered people.
I hope you’re drunk.
Dude tries to falsely conflate Stalin's Russia with America, and tries to falsely claim that Trump implied a moral equivalence with Stalin's genocide. The word "Stalin' was never even uttered -- the topic was PUTIN --and President Trump correctly observed that our hands are not exactly clean either.
I'd even suggest he (Trump) might be speaking about the Clintons and Obama, in that observation.
Ruby Ridge, Waco, lavoy finnecum, Seth rich. There are many more.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves... lol.
The Clintons have killed more people than Putin.
You won’t debate and you’ve repeatedly evaded questions directed at you.
“not a single poster — not ONE — has been able to dislodge the interpretation that Trump was making a moral equivalence between political killings in Russia of any decade from 1917 onward and political killings in the USA.”
Many have, but you refuse to admit it because you are a libtard troll.
The only point you have is under your hat.
Reply #6 on your thread asked ‘Who created Isis?’
I don’t think you answered the question, but the link below does. As far as I can tell the National Review thinks it was Obama and thereby the United States.

I *am* a fan of the statements. The joy of President Trump is that he calls a spade a spade. He's accurate in his observation, and may have even been talking about Putin's body count vs. the Clintons / Obamas.
Don't forget, President Trump has access to information we don't, now.
I don’t necessarily agree CC is a liberal troll, but I do think he’s a bit of a pearl-clutcher.
Lol. THREAD WINNER!
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.
