"So many people at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump on Wednesday continued to defend his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a day after walking back his remarks in which he would not endorse US intelligence findings on Russian election meddling over Putin's denial.

"So many people at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki," Trump tweeted Wednesday morning.

He continued, "Putin and I discussed many important subjects at our earlier meeting. We got along well which truly bothered many haters who wanted to see a boxing match. Big results will come!"

Trump was fiercely criticized for his comments in Helsinki on Monday, and several top congressional Republicans and conservative media commentators condemned his remarks. On Tuesday, Trump attempted to clean up the controversy when he said he had misspoken during the news conference and affirmed that he has "full faith and support for America's intelligence agencies."

So many people at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki. Putin and I discussed many important subjects at our earlier meeting. We got along well which truly bothered many haters who wanted to see a boxing match. Big results will come!

3. He(Trump) looks like a whipped puppy!

No confidence or power around his Putty!

[madaboutharry]

6. Trump looks like a man who was just told

if he doesn't follow the plan he is going to find a horse's head in his bed. Putin on the other hand looks rather pleased with himself.

The American interpreter in that meeting needs to be subpoenaed.

13. Look Ma, no strings!

To make nice, Pootie later slapped him around with those rolled up papers.

Their hands look eerily similar.

4. Yes, but they were all RUSSIANS, or Russian tools

you TreasonWeasel

11. Important Omission

"So many people at the higher ends of Russian intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki"

And indeed, I'm sure the higher-ups in the FSB did love it...

[C_U_L8R]

5. Yet he can't name one name

Blah blah, Donnie. Blah blah.

[get the red out]

8. To be fair

Russian names are frequently hard to pronounce.

[PJMcK]

12. You're right

How do the Russians do it? Amazing!

(wink)

[ecstatic]

7. Prostrating oneself / kissing a dictator's ass does not count as a good relationship

That's called a lopsided interaction. Judging from the words and body language, you're not friends, you're Putin's bitch! SMH!

[Heartstrings]

10. Who are these "people" he's constantly referring to??

Or the "others"....

Is the Tangerine Wankmaggot hearing voices?

[dalton99a]

16. John Barron, John Miller, David Dennison

[Heartstrings]

19. Oh....those "people".....

Funny, if it wasn't so frickin' scary!

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Name one.

[dalton99a]

15. "Putin loved the happy ending! He said I was The Very Best

Even though he told me to SHUT THE FUCK UP many times"

[onlyadream]

17. I agree

I like what he said because he showed his true self, evident to all. Even those at Fox we’re upset.

[kentuck]

18. And where did he get that information??

Did he see a FOX poll?

Or did he just pull it out of his ass?

[PatSeg]

20. "Many people..........."

Always means Trump is making stuff up.

[Blue_true]

21. So basically, he is saying that he meant exactly what he said at the presser. nt
