Trump Backpedaling

It's really funny to watch someone like Trump fumble over his own words and then later try to pretend like he meant something different. You're a liar and a coward
"The sentence should have been, 'I don't see any reason why I wouldn't, or why it wouldn't be Russia' instead of 'why it would'," Mr Trump said.
His comment came — amid rising rebuke by his own party — about 27 hours after his original, widely reported statement made at a summit in Helsinki on Monday (local time) standing alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin.
During the joint media conference with Mr Putin, Mr Trump denounced the "stupidity" of his own country's policy, especially the decision to investigate election interference following the findings of US intelligence agencies."

Dude is not a politician. He’s going to slip up here n there.
Problem is that he tends to try and ad lib shite when he shouldn’t but the guy is human.

I gave the same courtesy to Obama when he would correct mistakes in his speeches. There were several times he misspoke as well. I stand up in fromt of people and talk often and make mistakes as well.
The logical thing to do is give him the benefit of the doubt. What Trump does is far more important than what he says anyway.

He stated it 2 separate times. Now he’s convincing the slower people that he meant the exact opposite.

So yesterday he was treasonous and today he is mocked for becoming not treasonous? It's almost like you guys will melt no matter what he says. Color me shocked.

The CIA, FBI and National Security Agency have all said in no uncertain terms that Russia meddled in the election, and did so with the aim of helping Trump.
The Republican chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee has endorsed that conclusion.
And Trump’s own secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, has acknowledged that he believes it to be true.
But Trump himself, time and again, has held back from fully and publicly accepting the finding — and the issue is newly charged as Trump prepares for a high-profile summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in just days.
Here is a look at Trump’s varying statements on whether Russia is to blame for meddling in the 2016 election.
The 400-pound mystery man: At the first presidential debate, on Sept. 26, 2016, Trump sought to cast doubt on reports that Russia was behind the hacking of the Democratic National Committee — reports since confirmed by the intelligence community.
“I don't think anybody knows it was Russia that broke into the DNC,” Trump said at the time. “She’s saying Russia, Russia, Russia, but I don’t — maybe it was. I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, OK? You don’t know who broke into DNC.”
“Maybe there is no hacking”: At the second presidential debate on Oct. 9, 2016, Trump again implied that Russia was not behind the hacking.

“She doesn’t know if it’s the Russians doing the hacking,” Trump said of Clinton. “Maybe there is no hacking. But they always blame Russia. And the reason they blame Russia because they think they’re trying to tarnish me with Russia. I know nothing about Russia. I know — I know about Russia, but I know nothing about the inner workings of Russia. I don’t deal there. I have no businesses there. I have no loans from Russia.”
“A laughing point”: In an interview with Time Magazine on Nov. 28, 2016, Trump said of Russia: “I don’t believe they interfered. That became a laughing point, not a talking point, a laughing point.”
“I think it was Russia”: In a Jan. 11, 2017, news conference, Trump declared, “I think it was Russia” behind the hacking, though he left open the possibility that other countries were involved.
“Nobody really knows for sure”: In a news conference in Poland on July 6, 2017, Trump stated: “Well, I think it was Russia and I think it could have been other people and other countries. It could have been [that] a lot of people interfered.” But, he added, “nobody really knows for sure.”
“He vehemently denied it”: “I strongly pressed President Putin twice about Russian meddling in our election. He vehemently denied it. I’ve already given my opinion,” Trump wrote on Twitter on July 9 after meeting twice with Putin in Germany.
The Republican chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee has endorsed that conclusion.

This makes sense if Trump misspoke
But he didn't. He said something totally aligned with most of his other positions and today decided to entirely reverse that based on public pressure.

So yesterday he was treasonous and today he is mocked for becoming not treasonous?
And people that act like they believe it are being mocked for being idiots

The DNC also meddled in the election with respect to fixing their primaries and tricking their voters into thinking their votes count.
Zero media attention on that.

If he truely misspoke a statement would have been released immediately to clear it up.
