Trump says he did not raise election meddling with Putin in phone call

Cue the conspiracy nuts with their own far fetched narrative.

Your fellow rightists will be here soon enough spewing conspiracy theories.

How do we know when Trump is lying? His lips are moving or he's tweeting.

Putin hangs up phone, rolls eyes, chuckles, and says “too easy”.

but did not raise with him concerns about Russian meddling in U.S. elections.

Of course Trump didn't raise concerns about Russian meddling in US (and other nation's) elections. Trump and his far right supporters are well aware how much Russia, the globe's most politically far right nation, helped them last election using the NRA, KKK, and other anti-American organizations.

Soon Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham and other GOP politicians - who've also got investments in Russian oil and support from Russian oligarchs - will also parrot Trump.

@burningbsh Cue the conspiracy nuts with their own far fetched narrative.

Only those, US and 'foreign', who claim the US intelligence agencies have been lying all along about Russian 'meddling' think Russian meddling is a far fetched narrative. Only those, US and 'foreign', who didn't read the Mueller report (the report redacted by Barr and other Trump lackeys) think Russians didn't meddle.

Non-story.

Why would asking about it for the 500th time be any different than for 499th?

If states are so bad at protecting their elections from people over the internet, they deserve to be hacked, just like the 2M+ wordpress sites that are hacked right now.

Did California ever fix their online DMV registration system that automatically registered people to vote? Only a few people who weren't qualified to vote got registered and other checks in the system caught those errors, but putting anything related to voting online is just ... stupid.

This is why trump is referred to as : THE COWARD DICTATATOR.

but did not raise with him concerns about Russian meddling in U.S. elections.

Not even a "thank you"? Seems kind of rude.

Putin: Donnie?

Trump: Yes Master...

Putin: We have work to do - first, criticize NATO more - it's the biggest thorn in my side, keeping me from spreading Russian influence and subverting western governments. Then, place more tariffs on your trading partners, furthering undermining your relationships and trust in America. Lastly, keep up the story that we didn't interfere in your election - I know its hard given all the proof, but keep up the lie - remember repeat the lie and it becomes the truth...

Trump: Yes Master...

Putin: And keep saying nice things about me even...I like that....

Trump: Yes Master...

Putin: Good, we're already working our influence campaign for 2020 - hang in there, we'll work our con on all your supporters again...

Actually, Mueller just rehashed the canards that have been put forth already by the documented liars of the U.S. "intelligence" community and DNC (who wouldn't let the FBI do a forensic analysis of their computers)-paid-for, CloudStrike.

It's never long until a rightist trots out a conspiracy theory.

It's never long before someone on this site displays their complete ignorance of another's political views.

Complete ignorance is the exclusive purview of conservatives.

And Trumpers here continue to do Putin's work for him - denigrate and delegitimize our intelligence, security and law enforcement agencies so that Russia can more easily infiltrate and subvert our democracy...

They are all doing their part to Make Russia Great Again...at the expense of the US...

They need to drop the pretense and put away their US flags at Trump's Vegas lounge act rallies and start waving the hammer and sickle...just like Trump, that's who they are beholden to...

The hammer and sickle isn't coming back.  The USSR is dead, but a corrupt Russian government that rules over it's own people through manipulation, deception, and cronyism is much worse.  Putin wants the US to become like Russia.   Fake elections, oligarchs, and no prospects for a better future.  How long has Putin ruled Russia?   I was still a teenager when he first got in power... I'm now in my 40s.    He doesn't know how to step aside.   And like the generational gap we have in the US, the younger generation is being screwed by the older generation in politics and the future potential of the country.

The Trumpeteers are being controlled like the useful idiots they are.  Just let them hear the right kind of propaganda they want to believe in (doesn't matter if it's a lie...) and they'll eat out of the IRA's hand like a loyal dog.  They want to believe that "Not enough evidence" equals "No evidence of any wrong doing" is what they want to hear.   Because it's the same con game that many corrupt businesses engage in to hide their misdeeds.   "Anything is ok, as long as you don't get caught", and "It's only wrong when you do get caught..." motto. 

Trump only puts people he thinks are loyal to HIM, to protect HIM, and will only do what he tells them to do... instead of their job, which demands loyalty to the people of the US... NOT HIM.   There are still people who are loyal to the country, and not the orange dictator.    Some chose to resign from those positions instead of being "fired" for not protecting Trump above country.

Of course Trump didn't. He's tough on allies and soft on dictators.

"My people came to me, Dan Coats came to me and some others, they said they think it's Russia. I have president Putin, he just said it's not Russia. I will say this, I don't see any reason why it would be. ... I have great confidence in my intelligence people but I will tell you that president Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today."

Pres. Donald Trump in Helsinki

Trump is:

a. an idiot.

b. a traitor.

c. both an idiot and a traitor.

What! An hour long phone conversation with Putin! More collusion! Lock him up!

That's some wild imagination ya got there lincoln, haha

"The president's been clear that no one needs to meddle in our election. He doesn't need to do that every two seconds."

“no one” = don’t want to upset Trump by spoiling his denial of clear Russian interference in 2016 on his behalf

”no one needs to meddle” = Wow! Tough language there.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders in another shining moment of moral integrity.

Trump said he and Putin talked about "the Russia Hoax,"

Amazing. Trump is still denying what the intelligence community has clear evidence of. Trump’s ego trumps national security.

I don't really care what Trump says he said in a phonecall to Putin. We know he lies about everything anyway. Maybe some more interesting news would be good... like a Boeing 737 sliding into a river... or something about North Korea's latest missile launches.

Pressed on whether he urged Putin not to meddle in the upcoming 2020 election, when Trump will be seeking re-election, the president said the issue was not discussed.

Of course Trump brought up the issue of meddling - how can you not talk about it with your Shadow Deputy Campaign Manager?

Putin probably got more promises on his penthouse at Trump Tower Moscow...

Putin's mouth moves, Trump talks...Putin pulls the strings, Trump dances...

Trump/Pence/Putin 2020 - Make Russia Great Again...

How do we know when Trump is lying? His lips are moving or he's tweeting.

How do we know the media is lying? Well, they haven’t been honest for a very, very, very long time.

Of course Trump brought up the issue of meddling - how can you not talk about it with your Shadow Deputy Campaign Manager? 

Maybe he didn't. I mean, it wouldn’t be the first time that the media lied on him and definitely won’t be the last.

Putin probably got more promises on his penthouse at Trump Tower Moscow...

Hillary and Lavrov talked about it while holding that plastic comical reset button, now her grin is prominent.

Trump/Pence/Putin 2020

Definitely.

Embarrassing!

Trump finds that he has more in common with unfriendly dictators than allies .

How do we know when Trump is lying? His lips are moving or he's tweeting.

How do we know the media is lying? Well, they haven’t been honest for a very, very, very long time.

So it’s better not to trust either.

Trump/Pence/Putin 2020

Definitely.

Well, thanks. I wish all the other Trumpers here were as honest and enlightened enough to just come right out and admit it - if you're for Trump, you're for Putin, and all he is doing to destroy our democracy...

You are glad Russian interfered in our democracy in 2016 to help elect Trump, and you want them to do it again in 2020.

As I said before, they ought to be waving the hammer and sickle at Trump's rallies...

Thank you for confirming it...

Of course he didn't raise any concerns because the dictator-in-chief is NOT concerned, he's happy about it. He offered praise, and the usual butt kissing of Putin. And right-wingers will in turn kiss Trump's butt for kissing Putin's.

Reporter: Mr President, what did you talk to President Putin about on the phone today?

Trump: Well, we discussed important things; first - election interference - I love it - the more the better. I thanked him for his "sweeping and systemic" influence campaign that helped get me elected. Then we talked about our plan for 2020 to again hoodwink my supporters...

Reporter: Mr President, don't you think this subverting of our democracy is dangerous and an attack on our country?

Trump: Nah, that would only be the case if Russia was supporting a Democrat - then it would be "DEFCON 1" - send over the B2s....

Reporter: Did you talk about Venezuela? Sec Pompeo and others in your administration said the Russians and Cubans are actively supporting Maduro?

Trump: Vlad said he isn't doing anything, and I believe him...

Reporter: Mr President, what did you say to close the conversation?

Trump: Trump Tower Moscow - we start building soon - I guarantee it will be built before the wall...

Well, Trump never lies, so I guess we should just take him at his word. Hahaha

The envy of the world!

How do we know the media is lying? Well, they haven’t been honest for a very, very, very long time.

I know. It's so horrible of the media to do its job and report the president's words and actions. The horrors!

Maybe he didn't. I mean, it wouldn’t be the first time that the media lied on him and definitely won’t be the last.

Hilarious that Trumpophiles main justification for Trump's actions is "two wrong male a right."

Hillary and Lavrov talked about it while holding that plastic comical reset button, now her grin is prominent.

And, the other justification they constantly trot out, "But, but, but Hillary!"
