Did Trump Lie?

First, did you really expect Trump to meet with Putin in earnest, only so that he could "confront" him?  Like Obama did?  Like Bush did?  Like Hillary did?  None did and none have..in person, that is, publicly.

Second, why wasn't the media outraged when Obama kissed Iran's butt?  Or Bashar Al-Assad's but (Hillary: "..he's a Great Leader".  Or even Russia's butt ("reset button")?

Thirdly, this is how Trump negotiates with some adversaries, like North Korea.  Yes, he pummelled, but then rotated to being very friendly and complimentary.  This is how he negotiates.  We elected him.  Don't like it?  Unelect him.  I trust him.

Now..on the statement, where he "..threw our intelligence folks under the bus".  Yes..he meant to say that.  It's a side effect of one of his biggest assests: Speaking off the cuff.  Occasionally, it can bring a severe or moderate gaffe.  But I LOVE the fact that he shoots from the hip so much..so REAL..so POWERFUL!  Ii mean it!

So, YES, Trump is lying when he says, "I didn't mean it".  Most important here is that he came out and said that's not what he meant.  I told you he'd have to roll it back, and he did.  Yes, he's wrong on that part, but you'll never find the perfect prez. #maga
