Trump says he misspoke on Russia meddling following Putin meeting - Chicago Tribune
Update: President Donald Trump says he meant the opposite when he said in Helsinki that he doesn't see why Russia would have interfered in the 2016 U.S. elections.
Back at the White House on Tuesday, the president told reporters that he said he meant he doesn't see why Russia "wouldn't" be responsible. (Double negative admitted by Trump.)
=================================================
The Waffler-in-Chief came as close as he could to admitting that he had made a mistake when he spoke at the news conference yesterday in Helsinki: he stated this afternoon that he misspoke when he said 'would' instead of 'wouldn't.' This is called spin or 'walking back' a statement that he actually & intentionally made.
