Trump says Putin denied Russian attempts to interfere in the US election. He says he believes Putin means it

this headline on CNN is a riot....

Da Nang, Vietnam (CNN)President Donald Trump suggested on Saturday he's ready to move on from confronting Russian President Vladimir Putin over his country's attempts to interfere in the US election, saying he believes the Russian leader when he denies the interference occurred.

"He said he didn't meddle. He said he didn't meddle. I asked him again. You can only ask so many times," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew from Da Nang to Hanoi in Vietnam. Trump spoke to Putin three times on the sidelines of summit here, where the Russia meddling issue arose.

"Every time he sees me, he says, 'I didn't do that.' And I believe, I really believe, that when he tells me that, he means it. But he says, 'I didn't do that.' I think he is very insulted by it," Trump said.

Trump said he was ready to move on to other issues.

“I believe him.”

The use of meddle is interesting. What many of us are talking about and the uncertainty is if he meddled directly with Trump. We know for a fact that Putin meddled. Shit, I don’t blame Putin for it and expect it. The US does it on a large scale as well. Using that word is beyond stupid and is an attempt to whitewash not only the known, but the expected.

But he's also so stupid he might actually believe Putty Put over every intelligence agency in the US. Probably a combination of both factors.

BULLSHIT! Call it what it is. Our country has been ATTACKED. What Russia did and is DOING is...flat-out fucking war.


Putin has donald's testicles in a vice. He can call in the loans and/or release "kompromat" at any time. BLOTUS knows this. What a groveling, treasonous, rat-bastard this so-called president is! LOCK HIM UP!
