I feel sick...

Despite the unified assessment of the U.S. intelligence community — including CIA Director Mike Pompeo, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, and White House Homeland Security and Counterterrorism adviser Thomas Bossert, who have said they support the conclusion that Russian sought to manipulate the election — Trump said he takes the Russian president at his word when he denies directing the influence campaign.

"Every time he sees me he says, 'I didn't do that,' and I really believe, that when he tells me that, he means it,” Trump said. ”But he says, 'I didn't do that.' I think he is very insulted by it, if you want to know the truth. Don’t forget. All he said was he never did that, he didn’t do that. I think he is very insulted by it, which is not a good thing for our country.”

1. Trump is only trying to save his ass he dosen't care about anything else

[orangecrush]

13. The kompromat

Is evident.

[SummerSnow]

2. "I think he is very insulted by it, which is not a good thing for our country.

[orangecrush]

7. I know!

What is this, the f'n twilight zone!?!!

[SummerSnow]

9. It's worse than the Twilight Zone it's the Outer Limits

16. You ain't kidding...

There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are now controlling the transmission. We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can deluge you with a thousand channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond. We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive. For the next hour we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest inner mind to the outer limits.

3. Just like a grade school playground.

[True Dough]

14. It's reinforced every time

Trump is addressing a crowd and he says, "I like XXXXX and I think they like me too."

He's so preoccupied with being worshipped and yet he alienates 2/3 of the country with his projected bravado, hypocrisy and outright lies.

[orangecrush]

15. With very serious

Consequences.

[doc03]

4. Sounds like a Sarah Palin word salad..

[superpatriotman]

5. Battered president syndrome

He's terrified of him.

.45 needs a safe space.

[orangecrush]

10. Disgraceful

A mockery of the office.

[Iggo]

6. He is literally a Russian agent, as in he's an agent for the Russian government.

And since it's not out in the open, and he's trying to keep it a secret, well...

[orangecrush]

12. Not secret

Anymore.

[Iggo]

24. But up until it was known, yes...secret.

Which kinda technically makes him a Russian spy.

[uponit7771]

18. IKR !?!?!?

[orangecrush]

22. Yup

[Kaleva]

8. Putin's press secretary says the subject never came up.

[orangecrush]

11. Probably because Putin has better sense

Than to want America to know Trump is his llittle orange lapdog.

[CaptainTruth]

17. Trump is projecting again.

His message is "you should believe a criminal when they deny their crimes," which means "you should believe ME when I deny MY crimes."

Remember, in his mind it's always all about him.

[orangecrush]

20. Good point!

That is EXACTLY what it sounds like.

[jalan48]

19. What is it about Putin and Republican Presidents. Didn't George Jr. say something about looking

into Putin's eyes and seeing his soul?

[HipChick]

21. He only cares about Putin's feelings, not America...

[orangecrush]

23. Apparently

He is afraid of Putin.

I see only one possible explanation for that - blackmail.
