Trump declared as "fake news" his criticism of May in an early Friday interview in The Sun, even though the tabloid released a recording of the session.
Whats he going to tell the American people after his meeting with Just him and Putin and 2 translators ... seeing he is so Truthful even with a full recording ..

This week is unreal, one in which even with 12 new indictments, our POTUS states the Russian witch hunt is hurting our relationship with Russia. Putin is I’m sure overly prepared for this meeting and our president prepares by playing golf. Our country is attacked by Russian hackers certainly at the direction of Putin and Trump instead of focusing on that, attacks our allies in NATO. Even if NATO needed to be held financially accountable, they our our foes and yet Russia is only to some extent our foe. It is hard for me to believe the Trump supporters can’t see the dangerous road we seem to be traveling down globally.

Asked during the CBS interview whom he considered to be his biggest foe globally, Mr. Trump named the European Union, citing “what they do to us on trade.” He added: “Now you wouldn’t think of the European Union, but they’re a foe. Russia is a foe in certain respects. China is a foe economically, certainly a foe.”

You missed him insisting his older brother did it. |

Can you imagine the frustration in the intelligence community, when they have concrete evidence and proof of Russian meddling, yet even after it's all laid out for our POTUS and Putin to see with 12 new indictments; our president says he believes Putin's denial. It just blows my mind that Trump is either that stupid or something else (money, pee tapes, Putin envy) has him playing right into Putin's hand.
I hope Mueller has the goods on him, I really do. Much as I thought we could live with this clown for four years and hopefully someone would rise to the top and prove to be a worthy opposition candidate; I just can stand what this idiot is doing to our position on the global stage. Are you Trump supporters on board with this BS? Please tell me you aren't all drunk on the same cool aid this idiot is drinking.
Obama already let Russia gain far too much ground in Europe and in the Middle East and now was have a president willing to green light Putin on anything he wants to do. Crap, Trump will even tell Russia to continue it's cyber efforts if it helps his next campaign.
Unbelievable, I am so embarrassed for our country at this point, what an absolute idiot.

I've heard a lot more than that. This is an issue that transcends political parties. I've never heard of a US President trashing the USA standing side by side with an adversary on foreign soil like this ever happening...
Curious how anyone can explain this behavior other than being on a very short leash.
