Media slamming Trump after Putin summit: 'One of the most disgraceful performances by an American president'

      

http://www.foxnews.c...-president.html

 

CNN’s Anderson Cooper called it “perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president”

 

“Trump, finally asked whom he believes on Russia interference, gives a vague and rambling non-answer, with renewed complaints about Hillary’s server. Says he trusts US intel but made clear he takes Putin’s denials seriously. Lame response, to say the least,” Fox News’ Brit Hume tweeted  

 

Fox News’ Neil Cavuto called the press conference “disgusting," while his colleague Stuart Varney added, “It was not a very forceful presentation from President Trump with Putin standing right next to him. Not forceful at all.”

 

CNN’s Gloria Borger added, “Everybody around the world has seen the president stand next to Vladimir Putin and basically cave.”

Former CIA director John Brennan said Trump's press conference with Putin was 'treasonous' — here's what legal experts say

http://www.businessi...a-summit-2018-7

 

• Former CIA director John Brennan called Trump's failure to acknowledge Russian meddling in a joint press conference with Vladimir Putin "treasonous."
  
   
• Two constitutional law experts talked to Business Insider about what exactly treason means per the law, and if Trump could be guilty of it.
  
   
• While they slightly disagreed on the chances of Trump being impeached, they both concluded that his conduct at the Helsinki summit could have other legal implications later on.

"Trump is clearly helping Russia — whether it rises to the level of 'aid and comfort' would be for a jury to decide or for the House of Representatives to decide if it pursues articles of impeachment," Ohlin wrote.

Whoops! Even Fox News admits this was a major blunder.

 

The word "Treason" keeps getting bantered about.

 

Trump faces bipartisan criticism over press conference with Putin

 

http://www.foxnews.c...with-putin.html

 

the president angered members of both parties by saying both countries share blame for damaged relations and by not firmly standing by U.S. intelligence assessments that Russia meddled in the 2016 elections. 

 

Trump said he has great confidence in the intelligence community, but Putin gave a "strong and powerful" denial. He said he doesn't "see any reason why" Russia would be behind election meddling.

 

"Russia is not our friend. Russia attempted to undermine the fundamentals of our democracy, impugn the reliability of the 2016 election, and sow the seeds of discord among Americans. Our intelligence community, including the current one, concluded this, as did the Majority House Intelligence Committee report, as did our fellow Americans who served on grand juries which returned true bills on two separate occasions,” House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said in a statement

Even his base now turning on him.

 

Yet, suck-ups right here on this forum continue to defend him.      
We have a place for them: Defending Russian troops on the Syrian border.    

Trump surprised at fierce criticism of Putin news conference

 

 

https://www.cnn.com/...ence/index.html

 

by the time he returned stateside on Monday evening, his mood had soured considerably amid sustained fury at his extraordinary embrace of the Russian leader.

 

 

The conservative editorial page of The Wall Street Journal declared the news conference "a personal and national embarrassment" for the President, asserting he'd "projected weakness." Newt Gingrich, ordinarily a reliable voice of support, wrote on Twitter the remarks were "the most serious mistake of his presidency."

[UncleVinnys]

Even his stalwart supporters are turning on him. 

 

Here is today's cover of the (normally blue collar) NY Daily News.

 

Notice the word "TREASON" in the headlines.  

This does not bode well for the bloviator.

Trump goes off script while reading a carefully prepared walk-back statement.

First he claims he accepts the Intelligence community's findings, then

adds (off script)

 

"but of course it could be other people too" which blows up the damage control effort entirely. 

 

Check out from about 4:40 on the video below.

Then try to convince me we don't have a moron in the highest office in our land.

Tide is a-turning.   

Some of Trumps most ardent supporters now see that the Emperor has no clothes.  

 

The Unwinding of Donald Trump

What happened in Helsinki on Monday will not be so easily forgotten.

 

Just as the President’s comments following the torchlit white-supremacist march last year in Charlottesville made it clear that racism was at the core of his character and his political strategy, the contemptible remarks he delivered alongside of Vladimir Putin seemed to mark a turning point, even for some of his most ardent defenders. In the course of a single European journy, Trump set out to humiliate the leaders of Western Europe and declare them “foes”; to fracture long-standing military, economic, and political alliances; and to absolve Russia of its attempts to undermine the 2016 election. He did so clearly, repeatedly, and with conviction.

 

Republicans in Congress (but not enough of them) and a selection of commentators on Fox News declared that Trump’s performance in Helsinki had been disgraceful.

Trump claims he "misspoke" during the Helsinki conference. 

 

He really thinks the American people are dumb enough to believe his lies.    

 

Even during the walk-back spin session, he undercut his own prepared statement by adding:

"It could be other people too!"

 

I believe in our Intelligence agencies, but it could be other people too.  

How sad, the level of incompetence!           

 

Sad too are the die-hard Trump cult suckers, who even as the Titanic

is sinking keep singing "We can still make it to port!"

RAND PAUL: “John Brennan started out his adulthood by voting for the communist party presidential candidate. He is now ending his career by showing himself to be the most biased, bigoted, over the top, hyperbolic, sort of unhinged director of the CIA we have ever had. And really it is an insult to our government to have a former head of the CIA calling the president treasonous just because he doesn’t like him."  Brennan = Psychopath. CHECKMATE!!

Budowsky: Democrats are the patriot party

 

http://thehill.com/o...e-patriot-party

 

Democrats are united as the patriot party, seizing the high ground and a powerful advantage throughout the nation, as the free world watched in horror when a Republican president appeared weak and submissive in the presence of a Russian dictator who is attacking our country.

 

The secret weapon of Democrats who will retake control of the House is the surge of young, dynamic, heroic and patriotic candidates with military and security experience.

 

Many serious people ask whether the dictator of Russia, who attacks our democracy, is blackmailing the American president, who adamantly refuses to defend democracy against these attacks and often appears to be aiding and abetting them.
