Discussion: Trump Corrects Himself: I Meant 'I Don't See Any Reason Why It WOULDN'T Be Russia'

Trump: “What I meant to say is, ‘Putin is awesome.’ No, what I meant to say is, ‘Why wouldn’t Putin be awesome.’ No, wait . . .”

We should start using this description. It fits Trump perfectly (and would get under his skin.)

What was the remark that was the first time the Queen had reviewed her troops in 30 years???

Really? He admitted making a mistake. That would be an all time first for Trump. . . . I don’t think he really sees it that way.

Hans Nichols: so after supposedly reviewing the transcript, the only thing that gave Trump any concern about what he said yesterday was one word. Now he’s stuck with the rest of it.

My wife asked me if I saw our president in the Helsinki press conference.

I said, “Yes, he was standing next to Vice President Trump.”

So you can put that in, and I think that probably clarifies things pretty good by itself.

It’s so adorable: he still thinks his words mean something to the rest of us.

  1. Trump is lying about what he meant

  2. Even if he wasn’t lying, he doesn’t get a do-over after standing on a global stage dismissing our intelligence agencies and their conclusions about the thug standing to his left.

If he believed himself, even a little, he’d add, “And so now we have to prevent it from happening again, and prosecute all those responsible.”

Exactly. The original statement made sense in the context of the rest of his butt-kiss-a-palooza, while this one makes no sense at all.
Of course, the term “makes sense” is…relative when you’re talking about this guy.

I seem to be hearing RExxon murmuring somewhere in the country “I told you he’s a fuckin’ moron didn’t I?”

“In a key sentence in my remarks said the word would instead of wouldn’t,” he said. “The sentence should have been, ‘I don’t see any reason why I wouldn’t or why it wouldn’t be Russia.’… Sort of a double negative. So you can put that in, and I think that probably clarifies things pretty good by itself.”
