President Donald Trump took to Twitter this morning to walk back yesterday’s emergency Helsinki “clarification.”
Hours after announcing he confused “would” and “wouldn’t” during his Helsinki presser, intending to say he saw no reason to believe Russia WOULDN’T interfere in our election, Trump railed at those who caused the uproar when he sided with Vladimir Putin and threw U.S. intelligence agencies under the bus.
In this morning’s tweets, Trump said those people – a group that includes a growing number of Republicans, and on-air talent at Fox New, the Wall Street Journal, etc – are itching for war and suffer from “Trump Derangement Syndrome”:
“Some people HATE the fact that I got along well with President Putin of Russia,” Trump tweeted. “They would rather go to war than see this. It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome!”
The President of the United States explained that only people “at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki.”
“Putin and I discussed many important subjects at our earlier meetings. WE got along well which truly bothered many haters who wanted to see a boxing match.” He promised “Big results will come!”
