Unfortunately, I do think President Trump did look like a deer in the headlights when a reporter asked him if he would call out Putin about the Russian meddling in the post meeting press conference between the two leaders.
Let’s break it down, however. If Trump called Putin out in a public setting like they were in, it would be all over the news that President Trump admitted to the collusion, and the media would have tried and convicted him, and a few decades back, probably had him tarred and feathered. Questions immediately flew around that Trump would rather trust Putin’s word, over that of the American intelligence agencies. I say, he can’t trust Putin, the media, nor his intelligence agencies.
Why would Trump trust these agencies, when he’s had to fire the head of the F.B.I., the assistant is under investigation, the assistant to the attorney general at the D.O.J. is subject of review, even the impeachment word has been circulating, both have publicly indicated bias towards party opposition. The media are constantly fabricating stories to support their questionable agenda. The former head of the C.I.A. has become what amounts to a spokesperson for MSNBC, probably one of the most Liberal left propagandists’ media outlets ever established. Anyone with an I.Q. over 50 would have reason to question the intelligence agencies. These guys have outspokenly put a target on the back of the President to unseat him.
Trump’s response, wisely, was to ask for the corroborating evidence that is required to substantiate the whole collusion premise. We have been given only the prosecution’s side of everything with the Mueller indictments. What about the defense’s arguments with regard to the relative evidence that could be found or not found on the D.N.C. server, the center of the alleged hack by the Russians? The D.N.C. server was never released.
What I still find remarkable about the Russian meddling and collusion accusations, is that all the meddling occurred on the Democrats computers and as Trump pointed out, their computer tech-guy has managed to get rid of all the info that pertains to any details pertinent to the alleged meddling.
Somehow, the Republican party and President Trump are the ones that are being accused of wrongdoing. This is like a bank robber that loses the money from the hold up, and the bank employees being accused of the crime.
