Trump is now claiming, having watched the tapes, that he misspoke during the Putin press conference. He meant “wouldn’t” instead of “would”.

What Trump said: My people came to me...they said they think it's Russia. I have President Putin. He just said it's not Russia. I will say this, I don't see any reason why it would be.

He’s a coward. And an idiot.

He's saying he accepts the findings of intelligence agencies saying Russia interfered in the election, then immediately contradicts himself by saying "could be others". It's just another Charlottesville moment.

EDIT - Anyone at the BBC should be embarrassed to be there. Inexcusably inept. :fp:

"Anyone involved in that meddling to justice"

He also can't spell collusion.

PostRe: US Politics by **Peter Crisp** » Wed Jul 18, 2018 12:28 pm

How can he not be able to spell collusion by now he's seen it written down about a million times?

They should add that to the list of reasons he shouldn't be President. If he can't learn to spell a word correctly after seeing it constantly for years then maybe he shouldn't have access to the launch codes.

No colusion!

Money down? No, collusion!

President Trump, asking why the US should honour NATO Article 5 (an attack on one is an attack on all) if Montenegro is attacked. Now, it is extremely unlikely that Montenegro will be attacked, but the similarly small Baltic states right next to Russia? Not so unlikely.

Clearly, Trump will not act if Russia launches a war of aggression and territorial expansion against them.

Edit: Nevermind, looks like Russia has designs on Montenegro already...
