"So many people at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump on Wednesday continued to defend his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a day after walking back his remarks in which he would not endorse US intelligence findings on Russian election meddling over Putin's denial.

"So many people at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki," Trump tweeted Wednesday morning.

He continued, "Putin and I discussed many important subjects at our earlier meeting. We got along well which truly bothered many haters who wanted to see a boxing match. Big results will come!"

Trump was fiercely criticized for his comments in Helsinki on Monday, and several top congressional Republicans and conservative media commentators condemned his remarks. On Tuesday, Trump attempted to clean up the controversy when he said he had misspoken during the news conference and affirmed that he has "full faith and support for America's intelligence agencies."

if he doesn't follow the plan he is going to find a horse's head in his bed. Putin on the other hand looks rather pleased with himself.

The American interpreter in that meeting needs to be subpoenaed.

To make nice, Pootie later slapped him around with those rolled up papers.

Their hands look eerily similar.

And indeed, I'm sure the higher-ups in the FSB did love it...

That's called a lopsided interaction. Judging from the words and body language, you're not friends, you're Putin's bitch! SMH!

I like what he said because he showed his true self, evident to all. Even those at Fox we’re upset.
