WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says in an interview with CBS News that he told Russian President Vladimir Putin that the United States won’t tolerate election interference in the future.
Trump says: “I let him know we can’t have this. We’re not going to have it and that’s the way it’s going to be.”
The interview comes after Trump’s meeting with Putin in Helsinki on Monday and his shifting statements on whether he agrees with the findings of U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. The president said Tuesday that he accepted the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that the meddling took place.
Asked if he holds Putin personally responsible, Trump tells CBS, “I would, because he’s in charge of the country.”
Trump: “Election interference won’t be tolerated. It will be enthusiastically aided and abetted.”
BULLSHIT
If he’d actually said anything even close to this, he would have stated it in front of Putin to make himself look strong. Looking strong is second only to money when it comes to what he cares about.
Instead, he was a cowardly simp next to his handler.
“It’s sort of a triple double-negative thing.”
Ah! I guess he found out that his base might not keep toeing the line re: Putin.
Liar, liar, pants on fire!
