I watched Trump's original statement again this morning.

[MineralMan]

He strongly emphasized the word "WOULD" when he said it the first time. His halting reading of yesterday's script does not change that. He said "WOULD." He meant "WOULD."

No question about it.

1. Someone pointed out yesterday.

That not only did he use the word would, but in several answers to press questions he reinforced that he believed Putin and did not believe our intelligence agencies.

3. Exactly. The only thing he could have done to make this clarification even less credible ...

...was to have winked.

2. I didn't watch...my mind is already biased that he lies all the time..

He reminds me of my narcissistic sister...she creates drama,LIES all the time, and then creates more lies to cover the lies she created...she's exhausting
I limit my interactions with her..

4. Trump also misread his correction statement. Truth isn't misread.

Watch him read "I wouldn't" and then correct the correction to say, "It wouldn't." Total failure, of course. The man who lies about lyiing about Putin is still the man who stole innocent children and put them in cages... And that's just a couple of weeks worth of dumbass evil.

5. I see Flake, Corker, Ryan, and Sasse are all over it.

NOT

[ProfessorPlum]

6. Right, and then immediately afterwards he talked about how his crush Vlad

denied the allegations "strongly" and "powerfully". In context, his new lie makes no fucking sense.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. We all saw and heard his original statement

He isn't fooling us with his second statement, but that will, of course, be enough to sooth the GOP Congresscritters.
