This is whatever. He said the thing. This appears to be a pre-planned strategic cuck. He knew he was going to have to do a half cuck after all that stuff he said in Helsinki. He knew what the backlash would be.
He does this bit where he says the thing and people whine and he’s like “alright whatever.” I assume that people were threatening some pretty serious threats that he thought might effect the midterms and so he was like “yeah, sure – I just walked 50 steps forward, I’ll walk one step back.”
BBC:
What he said then…
The controversy centres on a response he gave to a question at a news conference on Monday following the summit with Mr Putin.
This is an extract from the transcript posted by the White House.
REPORTER: President Putin denied having anything to do with the election interference in 2016. Every US intelligence agency has concluded that Russia did. My first question for you, sir, is, who do you believe?
TRUMP: 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.
…. what he says now
Mr Trump said he had reviewed the transcript and realised he needed to clarify.
“In a key sentence in my remarks, I 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.”
The US president added: “I accept our intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election took place. Could be other people also. A lot of people out there.“
The point is, he’s leaving it all open.
He didn’t say “Putin’s meddling.”
Putin himself has admitted that people might have posted Facebook memes from Russia, but that they were probably meddlesome Jews.
Furthermore, as Putin mentioned at the summit, one of his Russian enemies sent $400,000 to Hillary Clinton.
So Trump saying “yeah maybe someone from Russia did something, who knows” does not somehow negate anything.
He said the exact same thing he said on the stage in his post-Summit Hannity interview. He isn’t saying he misspoke there.
I think he knew when he said what he said on that stage that he’d be forced to throw a bone later on, and he did the Hannity interview just to make sure it was 100% clear what he was saying.
And the whole speech he gave (at the top there) excluding the minor “lights out” “oh I said the wrong word by accident lol,” was all pro-Putin, pro-Russia, pro-alliance – he just said “oh that one word, okay whatever.”
The thing is done.
Saying “oh yeah, I meant to add an ‘apostrophe t’ to that one word I said lol” doesn’t change anything at all.
(Note: The lights accidentally being turned off as soon as he said “intelligence agencies” couldn’t have been a coincidence, could it? Did he plan that or did they? I think he probably did.)
