Back Off
Critics had been asking the Trump to back away from Putin. Most Intel leaders believed that Russia was responsible for election meddling in the U.S.
Trump was however not sure at times and contradicted himself recently while trying to defend his statement in Helsinki with Putin.
“It can be proven beyond any evidentiary burden that Russia is not our friend and they tried to attack us in 2016,” Rep. Trey Gowdy said. “So the President either needs to rely on the people that he has chosen to advise him, or those advisers need to reevaluate whether or not they can serve in this administration. But the disconnect cannot continue. The evidence is overwhelming, and the President needs to say that and act like it.”
In an effort to share the blame or place himself away from the spotlight Trump blamed Barack Obama.
“So President Obama knew about Russia before the Election. Why didn’t he do something about it? Why didn’t he tell our campaign? Because it is all a big hoax, that’s why, and he thought Crooked Hillary was going to win!!!” Trump tweeted.
