Sounds like spin to me. The same people who interpret Trump’s call to the Ukrainian president as a quid pro quo are interpreting the Finnish leader’s comments as a troll.

This was not subtle trolling. It was not any kind of trolling. What utter nonsense from the Daily Mail.

Apparently “Keep it going on” is now code for “Trump, you’re an unstable war criminal”, or something to that effect. Did Adam Schiff write this article? He’s good at this sort of thing.

He didn’t scold him. It was a polite give and take between the two. That’s the way it appeared to me.

What I want to see is all these leaders look into the camera and say:

I understand what President trump means now, you are the fakest, most dishonest media on the planet.

“”” ‘Mr. President, you have here a great democracy,’ he said, looking to his left at the president. And then, dead-panning straight ahead to reporters in the East Room of the White House: ‘Keep it going on.’ “”””

I just watched it. He was looking at the nasty activist reporter. telling HIM to “Keep it going”.

He’s not stupid. He’s sees the coup, RESIST, revolution going on the the dems/MSM.

Finland is a little country full of little men — brain drain is a real thing.

What a puny man.
What a backwater country.

Trump, preoccupied with spitting nails over House Democrats' latest impeachment development, hardly seemed to notice.

No need to read any further than that. I saw the end of the press conference, which is what they are referring to, and, A., Trump was rightfully pissed at the media, and, B., he did notice what the Finnish president said and with his usual diplomatic skill did not call him on it publicly.

I doubt that it bothered him that much anyway. They were off to discuss things privately right after the presser. This is lefty-media spin.
