CNN: Trump "believes" Putin's denial of meddling in U.S. election

First of all, Putin says the issue was not brought up. Secondly, we are to believe Donnie? Oh, please.

And this:

"Every time he sees me, he says, 'I didn't do that,'" Trump said. "And I believe, I really believe, that when he tells me that, he means it. I think he is very insulted by it," Trump added.

Meetings between heads of state are always recorded by secretaries so no one can misinterpret.

As always, the default position is that Trumpy is lying. But the more important takeaway is that Trumpy is revealing his loyalty. He’s a vile traitor.

Trump is looking more desperate and guilty. The only chance he has is to discredit the investigation. My hunch is that Putin has had him over a barrel all along for money laundering.
