Obviously, Even Putin Thinks Trump Is A Joke
Trump began the meeting by asking Putin, Im going to get this out of the way: Did you do this?
After Russian President Vladamir Putin met with President Trump for over two hours on Friday, the Russian government emerged with a stunning claim: Putin denied interfering in the 2016 president election and Trump accepted his denial.
This would mean that Trump took the word of the Russian autocrat over the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the Director of National Intelligence and the unanimous opinion of his entire national security team. This includes Mike Rogers, Trumps NSA Director; Dan Coats, Trumps Director of National Intelligence; and Mike Pompeo, Trumps CIA Director.
........
More than 24 hours later, White House officials have refused to publicly reject the Russian governments account of the meeting.
***Putin, for his part, seemed to be enjoying the spectacle. Asked by reporters about the White House silence on his account of the hacking discussion, Putin joked he would punish them very strictly, very severely.***

Thanks, Vlad. Some of us will wait to see what Robert Mueller and team have to say about it.
