In reply to the discussion: 'I am the Chosen One,' Trump proclaims as he defends trade war with China [View all]Kid Berwyn
(14,522 posts)28. Chosen by Putin.
And he scrubbed it from the Helsinki press conference transcript.
URI Friedman of The Atlantic:
Snip...
Understanding what Putin said depends on what you watch or where you look. If you watch the video of the news conference provided by the Russian government, or by news outlets such as PBS and the Associated Press, you will hear the Reuters reporter Jeff Mason ask a bombshell of a question: President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?
Putin then responds with a bombshell of an answer, according to the English translation of his remarks that was broadcast during the press conference: Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.-Russia relationship back to normal.
Trump was chosen because he would do what was best for Russia.
