President Trump denied any special connection to Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, and contrasted his approach to Russia to predecessor Barack Obama's dealings with Iran.
"I don't know Putin, have no deals in Russia, and the haters are going crazy," Trump tweeted. "Yet Obama can make a deal with Iran, #1 in terror, no problem!"
Trump has claimed to have met Putin before.
In a 2014 speech to the National Press Club, Trump said that "I was in Moscow recently and I spoke, indirectly and directly, with President Putin, who could not have been nicer."

(65,616 posts)Wow, how thick of a delusion must he be living in? You cannot tell me the man does not look in the mirror at night and ask where it all went wrong...and I don't mean the presidency - I mean his entire life.
So many other billionaires out there doing interesting things for society, not Don Don. Far too busy learning to screw people over at a wee age just like his daddy.
That has to be a hollow life. Ego can only go so far, when you are alone it is just you. I bet he hates mirrors, but loves embellished paintings of himself.

The truth seems to adapt itself to whatever President Trump's needs of the moment are.

(146,364 posts)His truth is subject to change, depending on what he thinks is true at the moment. That's one thing everyone needs to get used to.
Trump's truth is not the same thing as your truth or my truth. It is "Trump Truth."
