Too funny:
After telling reporters he spoke with Putin about Russian meddling in the 2016 election and Putin denied it (and Trump says he believes him), the Kremlin reports that it's all fake news and that Trump never mentioned the election at all. . .

(37,648 posts)when they had their first phone conference?
Then Mexican President made a public comment that not only had he not agreed to that, but they never even discussed the Wall.
Trump just makes sh*t up. He's a pathological liar.

Stonepounder
(4,033 posts)Putin (via his Press Secretary) denies that Putin and Trump never even discussed anything about the 2016 election, while Trump is crowing that Putin denied election meddling.
Now, who are you going to believe? Putin could have easily gone along with Trump and denied meddling, but instead he hung Trump out to dry by saying the subject never came up.

(3,115 posts)When he's actually face-to-face with world leaders (and not Twittling), it's really unlikely he'd bring up something so confrontational, especially to his beloved Pootie. And Dumpie's track record of lying? The question just answered itself.

(31,261 posts)Earlier this week a Russian lawyer openly contradicted a Trump campaign claim, from Russia. Now Putin essentially calls Trump a liar hours after Trump spoke. Does seem like Putin may be trying to sink Trump.
The Republican Party, all of it, went full in to support Russia against charges of election meddling. Republicans cannot undo that. Putin likely realizes that he has a big swath of a whole party beholden to him and Russia, so he no longer need Trump.

(12,448 posts)Putin may be lying, of course, and we know Donnie lies like other people breathe, so who knows what, if anything, happened?
