Trump Stands By Embrace Of Putin, Says He Misspoke One Word | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

President Trump says he misspoke during his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and used the word “would” instead of “wouldn’t”, in a sentence that implied he sided with Putin over U.S. Intelligence officials. Ari Melber examines how Trump issuing this correction is an attempt to “push everyone to play the word game” instead of focusing on the fact that the “foreign policy crisis is the same”.

Wow! No 8 year old would try this level of BS on their parents or teachers to get out of trouble.

[SusanBame]

GASLIGHTING. Those of us who know about verbal abuse, narcissistic behavior, passive-aggressive people, know what gaslighting is. Gaslighting, pure and simple, right in front of us.

[moultonlavagaming]

Yea when you go back and look at the context of what he said, there is no way you meant to say wouldn’t. He was talking about how he believed Putin over the USA claims.

[ld]

If after all we have seen, you are still on the Trump train, soon you will feel the full force from ALL Patriotic Americans, both Republican & Democrat work to derail your train full of your fellow traitors.

[MsMary]

Pathetic. It's killing him that he's being seen as weak.

[mariaelenaarata]

It clarifies that HE is a double negative

[phatma]

Trump has the NERVE to continue to lie to you, me, everyone over & over, time after time 😔 Jesus... Then in his notes he marks thru the part saying to bring the perpetrators to justice

[robbpayne]

I'd rather say I work at Waffle house than the White house. Lol!

[shesmypresident]

[solarnaut]

drumpf is not "sorta" but very much a double negative.

[MyChilepepper]

How much the tax payers paying for this trump-Putin dating game?

[dnice]

This apology is disgusting in its lack of sincerity. How many ways does it have to be made apparent that this TRAITOR has only his interests and the interests of our ENEMIES in mind? As usual: I don't care about your partisan view. Our country is in danger, and this vile buffoon must go.

[CJ-vixm]

Why is anyone surprised by his presidency? Once a liar, always a liar.

[run-cnc]

Treason is a hang-able offense in these parts.... TRE45SON

[jayzenitram]

So you're saying Trump's a failure. I agree.

[ld]

If Nixon & Benedict Arnold had a baby they would name it Drumpf.

[richardalexander]

Dotard Donnie tries to say he didn't say what he said...WEAK! Double Negative, yes, wrong twice...he sided with Russia, and now want's us to believe this juvenile b.s. explanation.

[teriward]

He keeps digging himself a deeper DIGGING!

[TheArtkaw]

Did Stephen Miller type that stupid Trump speech.

[HSTRYWriter]

Sure, he misspoke. Must have had something salty coating his throat. Except how does that explain the rest of his press conference?
