Trump Takes the Word of Putin Over his Own Intell Agencies
Trump says he believes Putin's election meddling denials
Da Nang, Vietnam (CNN)President Donald Trump suggested on Saturday he's ready to move on from confronting Russian President Vladimir Putin over his country's attempts to interfere in the US election, saying he believes the Russian leader when he denies the interference occurred.
"He said he didn't meddle. He said he didn't meddle. I asked him again. You can only ask so many times," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew from Da Nang to Hanoi in Vietnam. Trump spoke to Putin three times on the sidelines of summit here, where the Russia meddling issue arose.

It is rather astounding who Trump readily believes and who he does NOT believe.

CIA just told me: The Dir stands by and has always stood by the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment entitled: Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent U.S. Elections. The intelligence assessment with regard to Russian election meddling has not changed.

Well, a fairly embarrassing trip by POTUS thus far.
He absolves China, whose economic interactions with the US he once called "Rape". China knows that if you just flatter the old man with a parade he is putty in your hands.
He takes the word of a former KGB agent over his own people.
Calls the head of NK "Short and fat".
And, on the on hand he tells other nations that we have to work together to solve North Korea, but on trade it's every country for itself?
This is what we elected.
