Trump uses 'no collusion' 7 times in a single Russia answer

(CNN)This is a real exchange that happened between President Donald Trump and Fox News' chief White House correspondent John Roberts in a

press conference with the Norwegian prime minister on Wednesday afternoon.


Roberts: "Are you open to meeting with (special counsel Robert Mueller)? Would you be willing to meet with him without condition? Or would you demand that a strict

set of parameters be placed around any encounter between you and the special counsel?"


Trump: "Well, again John, there has been no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians or Trump and Russians. No collusion. When I watch you interviewing all

the people leaving their committees, I mean, the Democrats are all running for office, trying to say this that -- but bottom line, they all say there's no collusion. And there

is no collusion.


"And when you talk about interviews, Hillary Clinton had an interview, where she wasn't sworn in, she wasn't given the oath, they didn't take notes, they didn't record

and it was done on the 4th of July weekend. That's perhaps ridiculous and a lot of people looked upon that as being a very serious breach and it really was.

He does it all the time with various words and phrase but the “no collusion” over and over is just annoying.

He learned a long time ago that the key to the big lie technique is to repeat it over and over and over and it worked to con people in business and to get loans and it works on his base now.

I’m just trying to tone down my expletives and descriptors for the new year. My Trump hate was bleeding into my real world interactions and I needed to consciously tone down my comments, lol.

I think that's true for millions. I was just adding something that a lot of people know but we can't forget: dump is an evil idiot but in some areas - such as propaganda and lying for greatest effect - he knows what he's doing.
