Trump, at Putin’s Side, Questions U.S. Intelligence on 2016 Election

By Julie Hirschfeld Davis

July 16, 2018

HELSINKI, Finland — President Trump stood next to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia on Monday and publicly challenged the conclusion of his own intelligence agencies that Moscow interfered in the 2016 presidential election, wrapping up what he called a “deeply productive” summit meeting with an extraordinary show of trust for a leader accused of attacking American democracy.

They said they think it’s Russia; I have President Putin, he just said it’s not Russia,” Mr. Trump said, only moments after the Russian president conceded that he had favored Mr. Trump in the election because of his promises of warmer relations with Moscow.

“I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be” Russia that was responsible for the election hacking, Mr. Trump added. “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.”

The 45-minute news conference offered the remarkable spectacle of the American and Russian presidents both pushing back on the notion of Moscow’s election interference, with Mr. Putin demanding evidence of something he said had never been proved, and Mr. Trump appearing to agree.

Is this literally surprising to anyone? Truthfully this is not at all surprising. He's the modern Hitler.

Welp. Republicans will find a way to support this. He could've literally admitted to it (he basically did though...) and they'll spin it.

The thread title is misleading though tbh :green: "Trump shocks no one - sides with Putin over U.S." will get more views and is actually accurate :sis:

That's the thing though, the majority of Americans didn't vote for Trump. I hate our voting system here.

I won't be surprised if there's Russian interference in the 2018 elections either :madge: What a disgrace.

I didn't vote for this traitor! In fact, the majority didn't vote for Putin's puppet. I voted for the person that predicted this was coming: 

CLINTON: Well, that's because he'd (Putin) rather have a puppet as president of the United States.

TRUMP: No puppet. No puppet.

CLINTON: And it's pretty clear...

TRUMP: You're the puppet!

CLINTON: It's pretty clear you won't admit...

TRUMP: No, you're the puppet.

CLINTON: ... that the Russians have engaged in cyberattacks against the United States of America, that you encouraged espionage against our people, that you are willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do, and that you continue to get help from him, because he has a very clear favorite in this race.

So I think that this is such an unprecedented situation. We've never had a foreign government trying to interfere in our election. We have 17 -- 17 intelligence agencies, civilian and military, who have all concluded that these espionage attacks, these cyberattacks, come from the highest levels of the Kremlin and they are designed to influence our election. I find that deeply disturbing.
