After selling out the United States intelligence community on Monday in favor of Russian president Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump was beaming with pride from his “kiss-ass” rendezvous with Vladi. However, now that he’s back on US soil and realizes that a majority of Americans are calling his performance with Putin an epic embarrassment, Trump is offering what he believes to be a valid excuse: “I Misspoke!”
Oh, Donald — you can’t be serious (regrettably, HE IS!).

Yes, 48 hours after saying (for the millionth time) “I don’t see any reason why it would be Russia” that interfered in the 2016 presidential election (and he knows this because Putin said so), Trump is brazenly backpedaling on his words.
“In a key sentence in my remarks, I said the word ‘would’ instead of ‘wouldn’t,’ ” Trump claimed on Tuesday. “The sentence should have been: ‘I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be Russia,’ ” he added. “Sort of a double negative.”
Trump went on to say: “I accept our intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election took place.” Then, absolutely unable to help himself, Trump diverted from his prepared remarks and added: “It could be other people also. A lot of people out there.”
So, after a year of roaring about no collusion between himself and Putin and how the Russian leader had assured him he didn’t meddle in the US election, “The Donald’s” best excuse for why he kissed up to Vladimir Putin is to claim that he misspoke?? We are all now supposed to believe that after heaping a bushel of praise onto Putin and after admitting he doubted his own intelligence community’s findings, Trump really meant to say ‘I don’t see why it WOULDN’T be Russia’???
Um… Donald… Americans outside of your fanatical base are not the dumb idiots you think we are.
CNN’s Gloria Borger said Trump’s “I Misspoke” statement — which was concocted by aides who feared mass resignations from inside the intelligence community — made “The Donald” appear as if he were a hostage being forced to read words into a camera he didn’t mean.
Well, Donald, we’re smarter than you know. We aren’t for one second buying the “I Misspoke” excuse. Besides, if you had actually mixed up your words, it wouldn’t have taken you 32 hours to correct the “error.”
The fact is, you said what you meant and you meant what you said — and you seem to be the last on the planet willing to accept that we all know better!

Another spot on post DJ, point by point – especially your assessment that this pathetic excuse of a man is “absolutely unable to help himself”…he simply must continue to double-down on Stupid. And you’re right of course- no sane person with a spec of intelligence bought that pathetic attempt at a “walk-back” yesterday. The excuse was beyond pitiful and he certainly didn’t mean a word of it anyway. (SEE: his body language)
Not to mention the likelihood that at some time today he’s probably going to walk-back his walk-back.
Lord. What a colossal mess We have on our hands…smh..
