Worrying Trend
“This has to be recognised for what it is, which is simply an effort to clean up the mess he made yesterday, which is beyond the capacity of any short statement to repair,” said Adam Schiff.
It was clear that many people believed the President could be out of his league when it came to dealing with International matters.
On many occasions Trump backpedalled on many statements he made. He either said something different altogether or had to clarify what he said or meant.
“He made a horrible statement, tried to back off, but couldn’t even bring himself to back off,” Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor. “It shows the weakness of President Trump that he is afraid to confront Mr. Putin directly.”
Trump claimed he wasn’t “pro-Russia” and lashed out at CIA Director John Brennan who commented on his performance.
“Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin,” tweeted Brennan. “Republican Patriots: Where are you???”
“I think Brennan is a very bad guy and if you look at it a lot of things happened under his watch,” Trump said. “I think he’s a very bad person.”
The President seemed in his interview to be trying to direct blame to others despite his statements while standing with Putin.
But the big question now on many minds could be what does Putin have on Trump?
If he does, what would that be?
