Trump on addressing election interference with Putin: 'I may'

Source: The Hill

-snip-

Asked by host Chuck Todd on NBC's "Meet the Press" if he'd directly address the issue with Putin, Trump said, "I may."

"Are you going to tell him not to do it?" Todd asked.

"I may if you'd like me to do it, I'll do that," Trump replied.

The president later dismissed the significance of his recent comments about potentially listening to damaging information against an opponent from a foreign power during an election.

To win , then he said yes to both questions, yet trump still claims russia was helping Democrats and Hillary was getting help because they wanted her to win. See how he never tells the truth when he clearly knows it. When asked questions he simply lies all the time, and deflects , accuses, and denies , then claims the opposite of the real truth.

meddle in your elections again?" Don the Con "Yes, please Vlad. Even more this time" He is aware that Hillary WON that election, and it scares the HELL out of him that enough people may have wised up ready for the next election. He is enjoying this living free, free golf, transportation, staying out of prison. The fact that he has family members in high office should be stopped immediately. Does he really think his family members smart enough to run this country? Obviously, the gop thinks so, since they do nothing to stop any of them. Neither of the Kushners should have security clearances, yet here they are. Kushner only got into Harvard because his daddy paid a bribe. Money well spent, since he has padded the family fortune BIGLY since tRump took over the WH. A MAFIA family would be more suited to the jobs.

Try to imagine the outrage and actions the GOP would take if a Democratic President did any of this!

Even if a Dem Candidate spoke this shit...

from NBC is asking the President not to break the law, and he answers I will say that if you want me too?

Please pass me my inhaler, and I don't even have a medical diagnosis for it.

Crazy town.
