24 hours later, Trump claims he misspoke in Helsinki, meant to say Russia did have reason to meddle in election

The president also said he backed the U.S. intelligence community's assessment that Moscow interfered in his 2016 race against Hillary Clinton

President Donald Trump attempted on Tuesday to clarify his widely criticized comments in Helsinki, saying that he had misspoken when he said a day earlier that he did not see why Russia would have meddled in the election. Trump said Tuesday he meant to say he did not see any reason why it wouldn't have been Russia that interfered.

"I thought that I made myself very clear, but having just reviewed the transcript…I realized that there is a need for some clarification," Trump said Tuesday at the White House. "The sentence should have been…'I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be Russia'."

At the Monday press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump said about election meddling in 2016: "(Putin) just said it's not Russia. I will say this: I don't see any reason why it would be."

Trump also said on Tuesday that he had "full faith and support" for the American intelligence community and supported their assessment that Russian meddled in the election, although the president to claim that others could also be responsible.

"I have felt very strongly that while Russia's actions had no impact at all on the outcome of the election, let me be totally clear in saying…that I accept our American intelligence community's conclusion that Russia's meddling in the 2016 election took place," the president said.

But, Trump added, "Could be other people also, there’s a lot of people out there."

The president came under widespread, bipartisan condemnation on Monday for not backing his intelligence community's assessment that Moscow had interfered in the election. The president made the comments in Helsinki just days after special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russian intelligence officials for meddling in the election, providing a detailed account of their hacking and other activities in the indictment.

During his Tuesday remarks, Trump also said that his administration took the threat of continued Russian interference seriously and vowed to move aggressively to "repel" any efforts by Moscow to interfere in future U.S. elections. "We’re doing everything in our power to prevent Russian interference in 2018," he said.

Democrats swiftly seized on the president's attempt to clarify his comments.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accused Trump of trying to "squirm away" from his comments in Helsinki.

"President Trump tried to squirm away from what he said yesterday. It’s 24 hours too late and in the wrong place," Schumer said.

Referring to the president's news conference with Putin, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Trump had "one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory."

Former CIA director John Brennan, a frequent Trump critic and a national security analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, called Trump's performance "nothing short of treasonous." And former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a Trump confidant, called the president's comments "the most serious mistake of his presidency."

Despite the backlash against his remarks in Helsinki, Trump said on Tuesday that be thought the meeting he had with Putin was "really strong" and planned future meetings with him.

"I thought that the meeting that I had with President Putin was really strong. I think that they were willing to do things that frankly I wasn’t sure whether or not they would be willing to do," the president said. "And we'll be having future meetings and we’ll see whether or not that comes to fruition."

Nice of him to hang Randlet out to dry after he went out on a limb to defend him.

Simple
Take this to the logical conclusion

Meanwhile, Russian meddling means additional security for elections.

…and no more bogus votes to propel him into the White house.

So he misspoke and meant the exact opposite of what he said? I was hoping he would stick with it and let (((them))) be pissed, instead he flipped. Kind of depressing.

Super disappointed that he pussied out instead of standing his ground. He's lying now and it couldn't be more obvious. Sad.

Just remember faganon, she won in your heart and in your imagination. And if your obsession with Harry Potter and Star Wars says anything about you it is that you have a hard time grasping reality. Embrace that. Flaunt your childlike mentality for all to see user.

He outed dozens of closet backstabbers by 'mis-speaking'


We're gonna need a bigger salt silo.

I'm guessing the cucks in the GOP forced his hand. Still, this is bad for him, and frankly bad for them too. Hope they didn't just blow the midterms.

t. uses Lord of the Rings as an allegory

How exactly did is he out g backstabbers by reversing what he said? Are the backstabbers the ones that supported what he initially said and will be upset he backtracked? Are they the ones that support what he says regardless if it does a 180 24 hours later? Clarify your defense and whom exactly you are referring to.

...

Assuming I did use Lord of the Rings as an allegory I would understand that the reference in such would apply. Soy riddled faggots like yourself think that the wands and force is real and don't make real life associations with the material to make a point, instead you try really hard to summon faggotry from the mystical plane. As evidenced by the fact you believe that in any world a dying hag would win the presidental election, or that communism would benefit you, or the simple minded notion that niggers are your equal. These are your mystical beliefs that keep you going.

Do you think that any of his supporters find it out of the ordinary or bothersome if Russia tried to meddle with our election? We meddle with everyone else's elections and we know it so it's pot kettle black material. No one gives a shit that they bought Facebook ads.

Ultimately, Donald is still the same dumb ass faggot who showed up to RNC convetions in the late 70s and 80s to shill for dipshits like Reagan and Bush. He's a nigger lover, a fag apologist, and his whole family is kiked. Being strident in support and friendship with Russia while doubling down on the criminal network that looted millions of White pensions and ruined millions of White lives in the aftermath of the Soviet collapse is just something he can't stick to. He maneuvers ways to dump even more spicniggers into Eastern Europe and can't even say the word "white" while Russia builds weapons systems to keep the USA niggers from polluting the rest of the world and grants land and asylum to tens of thousands of explicitly White South Africans.

The contrast couldn't be clearer.

Yeah, this isn't chess. This is just a mess up. He could have ridden out his initial statement but instead backtracked due to pressure from a bunch of cucks. Magapedes will flock to defend this royal screw up as some imaginary brilliant move, but won't be able to explain the brilliance of it.

I have no fucking idea what's going on anymore. I'm just here for the libshit salt, and the salt is flowin'.

blm ads on facebook to boot, and michael moore attended a russian organized anti trump rally

Have you heard of 5D chess? :^)

No. The point isn't the truth of the matter, the point is what he originally stated and the accomplishments of that statement and then completely reversing. His job is to show strength and use said strength to maintain faith with his supporters and anger and weaken his rivals. He accomplished that. By completely reversing what you say you cede that ground and all gains from it. If you walk in to the room and take a shit on the floor to show everyone who is boss, you lose that power if you immediately turn around and clean it up then apologize and say it was an accident. He lost the ground that was gained from what he originally said. People can defend it, but I won't and others won't because it was a show of weakness plain and simple.

I don't know if it was his choice. It's possible someone like McConnell said "take it back or you won't have the votes to confirm Kavanaugh" and forced his hand.

(((You))) somehow completely "forgot" the most crucial detail;

public would've forgot about it in a few days if he just kept his mouth shut, instead he decides it's a good idea to make himself look even more incompetent and bring it right back into the news

Because now he 'trusts' the CIAniggers and reverted on speaking the truth, he can act so shocked and ashamed and betrayed by them when the Shillary/400million/Russia payment thing gets more airtime. Why do you think the 400million meme op is being worked on here whilst it's shoah'd on cuckchan? They are afraid.

not to defend his backtracking I think it was a half assed back track like saying "I dont like kikes" at a public speech and the next day saying "I misspoke I meant "I like Icke" " it's still a backtrack but it seems pretty sarcastic to me

if that's the case I expect they'll have hell to pay for in his mind humiliating him I expect ginsburg to die soon and another scotus pick to happen

Genuinely confusing, even if he misspoke he should have stuck to what he said. He's making himself look like an idiot.

checked

He could have guaranteed it more airtime by explicitly bringing it up and expounding on the criminal circumstances that surrounded it instead of backtracking.

I certainly hope so.

This, or in some awkward way "appearing weak, when he is strong". One would think of the implications of backpeddling. I'm sure a bunch of strategests talked about it, and somehow, him making this "correction" from "would" to "wouldn't
was the best thing. Or maybe it was an accidental mistake? Remember when Obama mentioned his "Muslim" faith, and the reported corrected him to say "Christian faith"?

Normalfags don't have that attention span though and he works with controversy. It gets far more views and interest and then can be released in stages to cause maximum PR.
T.thesamethingasusual

I think it's actually a smart move on Trumps's part. It proves the whole thing is pointless and worthless and stupid. What's CNN going to say now, Oh, that Evil Donald Trump, he agrees with us? He didn't say anything either way.

The China narrative is completely irrelevant because it does not matter WHY Trump has a strong conviction that it wasn't Russia, all it matters is that he doesn't believe it was Russia and he cucked out on that belief.
As for China:

There's nothing complicated about it. It's very simple to explain. It's only tricky if you don't actually have a problem with teaming up with ragheads to wreck a White country and then assisting jews with picking its bones and turning it into the same drunken, addicted mass of peasants the Tsar kept trying to rectify in the Pale of Settlement.

you guys see this? Lights go out in white house when Trump says "intelligence agencies" for the camera. ??

It's been raining on the east coast.

It's like the covfefe or his mis-spelled tweets. The talking heads get in a frenzy over something stupid, and then he shrugs and says he was eating french fries while he was typing or something. It shows he thinks it's a total non issue and doesn't even give a fuck either way because the whole Russian Witch hunt is a stupid excuse for Hillary losing, which has been his point all along.

This. Masterful.

It's worse than that. He had nothing to distract him and he knew the whole world was watching. Then, instead of correcting the "mistake" with in an hour, he waits for an entire day to "clarify". This is much worse than a simple typo on Twitter.

So what enemies that we DIDN'T already know about have been unmasked? Because all I see are Communists and the usual list of never-Trumpers pitching fits about it.

I still like Trump, but I can admit that he makes mistakes once in a while. Stop making excuses for him when he fucks up and realize that all Presidents fuck up and overplay their hand from time to time. Trump was never a God, he's only a man, and you need to admit that to yourself most of all.

E pur si muove!

Plausible deniability. Have your cake and eat it too. Piss off the traitors but then act nonchalant about it, like it's not even a big deal anyway, and those making a big deal of it need to get a life. It’s dimensions of chess that haven’t even been invented. Literally no one but screeching leftists and (((certain *chan users))) care about whether Russia hacked muh election versus the grassroots/ insiders / Seth Rich/ independent Guccifer 2.0 actor hypothesis.

What a fag, stick to your guns homo

Nigger this wasn't for you and I this is for the millions of normalfags who still consume kike media. The open sedition on display over the past day or so assuredly startled a large number of people who previously were on the fence. You had sitting congressmen calling for a fucking military coup over this shit. You are a moron if you think that went unnoticed by the masses.

HE ADMITTED HE CHEATED

Welp that's it, he killed himself.
1488D chess indeed.

< 2018 Midterms: "Keep Putin Out of the Polls - Voter ID NOW!"

Next he asks for proof. Come on man, Lift and Drop. LIFT AND FUCKING DROP. Don't tell me you haven't seen the game yet, it's nearly halfway through the first term, man. Start paying attention

Yeah shithead, that would be over half the country. Now that Trump has legitimized the claims of the CIAniggers, he not only gives credence to their lives but makes himself look inconsistent. Everybody but his besotted butt buddies can see that, it's actually you who isn't in touch with reality.

*lies

since when is our intelligence communities conclusion absolutely gospel? they at best are 50/50 like flipping a coin, and, lets assume for the sake of the shills on suicide watch attempting to figure this out, that russia did indeed "meddle" in the 2016 election, see the definition below:
"verb (used without object), med·dled, med·dling.
to involve oneself in a matter without right or invitation; interfere officiously and unwantedly:
'Stop meddling in my personal life! "

so how did Trump illicit them to meddle? if by definition meddling is unsolicited and unwanted?

You should have looked up the word "illicit" when you were copy/pasting from the dictionary

This is the "well I tried but they" routine. No evidence? They get cornered and gutted.

What's he supposed to do about the CIA? They fabricated the Russia thing. They can fabricate anything on anyone, and the boomers & millennial tards are none the wiser.

And so it is thus: our present form of governance is a failure, not for want of men able, but for want of a people wise enough to guard her.

The time has come for Fascism. The light of election has wicked out.

To be fair, e and i aren't that close on the keyboard so it probably wasn't a typo. You just either forgot or didn't realize illicit and elicit are two different words.

question is whether he'll mention Browder and the $400 million. that's the type of shit trump loves. to do nothing about.

Q here. This is all planned. He's playing the dems, lulling them into complacency.

The trap is about the spring. Think about it. Why would he want this? Follow the clues.

Oh shit, Trump put a trap on a spring. He's about to pull some fucking Home Alone shit on Clinton, and I'm not talking about ass-raping Culkin.

Yup. It's law in the end of the day if they want to go down that route.


He has put a damper on them in Syria, they have lost so much territory. Kurds probably will cuck out when the entire Army/Airforce, Turks and Hezbollah come at them. RU may help
And National Socialism is the final solution.

Look, I'll explain why the left is making a huge fucking mistake here, and why they have guaranteed Trump his 2020 election, and guaranteed his stamp on the world, leading to a brief right-wing renaissance, with desperate times befalling morality and the law and justice, at the hands of the Millennials by 2050:

They've made it into a battle.

And this galvanizes people. I'm somewhat shocked, actually, because if they cause enough noise they may even wake up Trump voters and get them out to vote in this 2018 election cycle, btfo the left.

It's incredible to behold, because I thought it was natural and obvious how to manage this situation, but the liberals seem to do it of their own accord. Trump, for his part, had a low-key meeting with Putin, of no interest at all (can you recall any prior meeting with Putin that was considered remarkable by the mainstream press, the lyingpress?)

The left has forgotten about tactics and is enraged. They're fucking up literally everything in the process, and I really did not anticipate this.

I did not anticipate more fucking up.


Right, reason enough is to piss off the stupid fucks who are in power, control all of our institutions, Amazon-Facebook-Google and the rest, online and offline, all one big faggot circle jerk.

What was right about this time though?

Ditto. Shows us how desperate they are, ignoring the 400 mln comment and focusing on a simple word. Trump Derangement Syndrome is in full swing with the left lads, pretty awesome to see tbqh.

Trump hasn't touched the $400M, either.

Trump was already guaranteed a 2020 win. Between 2020-2024 is the timeline when everything (((they've))) ever wanted will be done and Trump will get all the blame. Backlash will go the other way "see I told you whites were evil!" Then the dems will have enough to ensure permanent victory for decades.
