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.

And not once have I seen anyone mention Mexican interference in the 2016 election.

How many Russians voted at our polls? How many Mexicans?

Not once have I seem this VERY common sense question posed to anyone!

Oh, yes! He was “going to lead Trump from the stage” if he dared to act in a way chubby Bret deemed inappropriate. Of course, the debate blew up in his face and his consort’s botoxed face.

I’ve watched the last of Shepard Smith. The other “so called” news anchor are much the same. They have been given the go code to behave like the rest of the news presenters, far left. The opinion hosts are on double secret probation, we’ll see what they do going forward. Remember that Fox News is under new management and they love the Left almost as much they love the money.

“”””Fox News has never been crazy about Trump.””””


I was watching Dana Perino this afternoon and I thought: “Why is she so anti-Trump?” Then I thought that maybe she had ambitions for a plum job in the JEB ‘low energy’ BUSH Presidency.

There are a lot of Establishment folks who had hopes for being part of a JEB BUSH presidency that were quashed by Trump. Angry people do not forget who it was that ruined something for them.

I’m not concerned what third parties are saying about Trump misspeaking.

Anybody have a link to Trump’s “misspeak?”

Trump...say no more. Leave it be. The left will blow a hole in their own heads. Or maybe Trump already knows this

That’s one reason why you don’t apologize. Stand by what you said when you are right.

Let those agencies get their act back in order.

Then we’ll talk.

What’s this nonsense about him having to correct his ways. It’s them that need to.

They hate Trump.

The fact he’s being successful has them unhinged and enraged.

Nothing he says or does will ever win them over. Live with it.

This is who they are and the kerfuffle over Helsinki merely brought them out of the shadows.

Your enemies aren’t patriots; they want to destroy you.

That’s what its really all about.

I thought the president said he accepted the intel findings of HIS people.

I can’t imagine President Trump accepting the so-called findings of the Obama Administration, including the coup plotters James Comey at the FBI, John Brennan at the CIA, James Clapper at the Defense Intelligence Agency and Michael Hayden at the NSA.

Bolling’s been gone for months now due to the alleged infidelity that was reported months ago.

“””Fox is oversold as a Conservative outlet.”””


I agree. The conservatives are: Lou Dobbs, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Maria Bartiromo.

The rest are Establishment types or outright Lefties.

Not probably. While Barry was in office the US messed with a number of foreign elections. And Barry didn’t try to hide all of them.

Sad, very sad, that Democrat scu&bags are making headway in delegitimizing the President and his administration.

Very sad, disappointing, and disheartening.

IMHO

Trump didn’t misspeak.

Then again nothing he could have said yesterday would have calmed down the Deep State.

It has its own agenda and the Washington Swamp is fear from drained.

Anti-Trumpers don’t say “collusion” much any more. They say “meddled” (without explaining what that means except “that’s what the spooks said”). The gullible media audience members have heard “collusion” for 2 years and assume it means the same as “meddling.”

Donald looked very worn and haggard in that conference and appears to be developing the nose thing JP Morgan had.

My initial thought about all this was that it might hurt Trump or help the Goebbelsmedia. On further consideration, I remembered all those times it thought they had him.

Of course, the Goebbelsmedia has gone insane but have they gone a bridge too far? Not only is the nation’s Hysteria Quoten been exceeded but its behavior has turned off much of the former Goebbelsmedia audience and now don’t care what it thinks.

Does anyone think that Trump has lost any support among those who voted for him? I don’t.

The only way we are going to win against these people are if some of these corrupt people start going to jail and or CWII.

I have President Putin; he just said it’s not Russia.

I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it wouldn't be.

I like how President Trump is dumping a large full bucket of crap directly on Putin's head.

LOL!!!
