Donald Trump Defies Criticism of Putin Meeting: ‘We Cannot Exclusively Focus on the Past’

President Donald Trump defended his comments referring to the American Russian investigation after his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland. The president defied media and establishment political critics accusing him of allowing Putin to lie about his attempts to influence the 2016 American presidential election.

“As I said today and many times before, ‘I have GREAT confidence in MY intelligence people,’” Trump said on Twitter on Monday.

Putin said during the press conference that he did not try to influence the 2016 election, a statement that Trump called “extremely strong and powerful.”

Trump weighed in on the controversy created after his press conference with Putin as he flew back to Washington, DC, aboard Air Force One. He urged Americans to spend less time criticizing Russia’s bad behavior in the past but to instead focus on the future.

“[I]n order to build a brighter future, we cannot exclusively focus on the past,” he wrote. “As the world’s two largest nuclear powers, we must get along!”

Apparently the FBI/CIA/Mueller believe they have definitive proof that the Russian GOVERNMENT is guilty of hacking the DNC Server.

AFAIK, we have never seen that evidence but have heard that it is very strong.

Even if true, what else besides this hack job extrapolates to “Interfering With Our Election”?

Do we have anything else besides the DNC Server hack? If not, it is Mueller and The Media that have invented the idea that our election process was meddled in any way by the Russians. Just hacking the DNC Server is not enough. At least for me.

Every time the RINO’s conspire with the Dems and Media to play “gotcha”, President Trump is able to reveal who is an actual Patriot and who is all in with the Deep State. Smoking the rats out of their holes. I see a major bloodletting happening after the November elections. Trump is taking names and the “a** kicking” is going to be epic.

How can the FBI/CIA/Mueller believe they have definitive proof that the Russian’s hacked the DNC server when it is missing and they would not allow it to be examined?

It is all crappola. POTUS is right. Where is the flipping server?

The audacity of this is overwhelming. I need more BP meds and it is only 9am :)

I don’t have any problem with what happened yesterday.

I do have a problem with all the pointless whining fools crying about it.

So I just turn them off. I don’t care what they think, and I have no use for any of them.
