WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Donald Trump while in Vietnam met up with and believed Russian President Vlad Putin as he again denied meddling in American elections, but a top Republican Senator says this is dangerous path.
President Trump bumped into Vladimir Putin in recent days in Vietnam and claims to have asked him again if he meddled in American elections; Putin denied it, and President Trump says he believes Putin. Investigations into the matter continue to dominate headlines in the U.S. and many say there is no doubt the Russians meddled – but the President is not concerned and seems to want to be Mr. Putin’s friend.
“When will all the haters and fools out there realize that having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing,” President Trump tweeted Saturday. “There (sic) always playing politics – bad for our country. I want to solve North Korea, Syria, Ukraine, terrorism, and Russia can greatly help!”
U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement today on President Trump’s comments about Vladimir Putin:
UPI/Kevin Dietsch
“President Trump today stated that he believed Vladimir Putin is being sincere when he denies Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and reiterated that he hopes to cooperate with Russia in Syria.
“There’s nothing ‘America First’ about taking the word of a KGB colonel over that of the American intelligence community. There’s no ‘principled realism’ in cooperating with Russia to prop up the murderous Assad regime, which remains the greatest obstacle to a political solution that would bring an end to the bloodshed in Syria. Vladimir Putin does not have America’s interests at heart. To believe otherwise is not only naive but also places our national security at risk.”
Some say Putin – again, a former KGB spy – is “playing” President Trump, or the American President is outright lying about the Russian interference.
Ted Lieu, a California Congressman, says he has “seen the classified information on Russian hacking. @realDonaldTrump has received classified briefings. I can tell you that @POTUS is LYING. Trump knows the Kremlin hacked America last year.”
When will all the haters and fools out there realize that having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. There always playing politics – bad for our country. I want to solve North Korea, Syria, Ukraine, terrorism, and Russia can greatly help!

TRUMP ABOARD AF1 on accusations of election meddling: “This artificial Democratic hit job gets in the way and that’s a shame. Because people will die because of it. And it’s a pure hit job.” pic.twitter.com/mr3hOYLsrQ

Does the Fake News Media remember when Crooked Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, was begging Russia to be our friend with the misspelled reset button? Obama tried also, but he had zero chemistry with Putin.

Met with President Putin of Russia who was at #APEC meetings. Good discussions on Syria. Hope for his help to solve, along with China the dangerous North Korea crisis. Progress being made.

Lot of liberal lying comments on here. Strange how the Democrats/Socialists call people names and lie about the fantastic job President Trump is doing. Mental problems abound within the liberals refusing to Make America Great Again. You have to be pretty sic to hate America that much!
Throw him out of a plane at 5000 feet – NO CHUTE – Anti American piece of shit.
Terrible thing to say about Trump…but I agree.
Rubberbandman ? – Is that a muslin society ?
Yeah, it’s a muslin cheese cloth society.
Mc Cain is a communist and is party to the demorats who are doing their best to destroy America – Hang them all as traitors.
Virginia is Trending? You do realize Washington DC /Swamp RATS is part of Virginia (location wise for all your moron liberals) and is part of the SWAMP – corrupt to the core as you can see by the people their electing to run that corrupt moronic state – gays/lesbos/and Demorats = liars and thieves abound and your stupid enough to swallow their flourided kool aid acid.
Anyone remember that loser Quin, that ran for mayor?
Conservative logic: POW John McCain is a traitor and heel spurs deferment Trump is an American Hero.
One thing Republican blue collar workers are good at: deferring to the wealthy higher class. Roy Moore literally trying to rape high school girls and they will vote for him regardless. Put an ‘R’ in front of your name, talk bigoted and tough, have money in your bank account, mention the military and police often, and you’ll go far.
Trumps first year as President has been a huge success for America.
Jobs, the economy, less regulations, stock market growth, cost cutting, health care improvement is still being worked on, taxes will be lowered, our military is being rebuilt to protect us, veterans are finally being taken care of properly, America is being respected on the world stage, Saudi Arabia is purging is scoundrels, and the positive list goes on and on.
This is not fake news it is a fact!
I know the liberas have a hard time giving credit to our President. There will be a day when you look back and see how wrong headed your liberal views really are. We have been long overdue for an agenda that put America first. These are refreshing times for most of us.
Mike Pence is praying for you dog breath.
It defies logic all the hateful comments about our President. It says a lot about the person making the remarks. When you constantly overlook good you are missing opportunities for success. It can only be concluded all the negative Trump remarks are really the desires of the folks commenting, America remain a failing country. Something wrong with that attitude!
There is medicine for Trump Derangement Syndrome. See your Doctor.
John Mc Cain is a traitor to America and shoud be before a firing squad – He was completely brainwashed and converted to Islam while held in captivity by our enemies.
Funny, because Trump was brainwashed to Russian interests while tied up by Russian prostitutes.
Do you know where McCain was held captive? Which war?
Viet Nam in Hanoi. He violated orders and was hot dogging when he was shot down. Then he turned on his fellow P.O.W.’s. Nixon pardoned him after he was released.
I could be wrong about Nixon but it was a presidential pardon.
More fake news from the lunatic fringe:
https://www.truthorfiction.com/nixon-pardoned-john-mccain/
I told you I could be wrong about Nixon. McCain is still a traitor and is the LEAK against Trump. He should be run out of the country along with all liberals.
Great news today, they are finally going to appoint a special counsel to investigate the Clinton’s for their criminal acts. Then they are going after the FBI and Mueller. It’s about time we went after the criminal Democrats.
Hard to believe there are still Democrats hell bent on destroying America with their tax and spend globalist agenda. Get a grip fools!
He’s just petting a mean dog! Give him a bone and walk away. Trumps bad at deplomacy but he knows what he’s doing.
Actually President Trump is GREAT at DIPLOMACY!
Yes, he is as good at diplomacy as he is at telling the truth.
Trump is a traitor to the American people.
Agreed. But if Democrats don’t get their ships together, he will be re-elected. By default America elects incumbents and favors tough talking “strong men” versus uncertain liberal women or old Jewish men. Of course we know Trump is a chicken shit when it comes down to it, but his TV image has a lot of NIT consumers duped. Bone spurs while playing sports remember? He shot hoops while they blew up in rice paddies.
You need to quit answering yourself under different names. It must be a Greek thing.
And you need to quit promoting the willful ignorance of the Trump/Bannon Army.
Trump won and you lost. And, he will win again in 2020. Democraps are the party of criminals and anyone with a brain knows that.
I didn’t lose. I voted for Trump. America lost. But as Virginia is trending…by the time 2018 rolls around, the mistake of Trump / Clinton should be rectified. However, time is fluid not static, and Democrats could still screw things up. Hopefully more grassroots candidates will have risen up to fill the spots. Trump knows his time is short. Hey, believe me, I’m not happy about this. I thought Trump was going to surprise everyone by appointing really good people. Instead, he appointed then worse of the worst. His swamp will go down in history as the most corrupt in history.
No you didn’t vote for Trump. You have already said so in a previous posts. What that makes you is a damn liar. We don’t need or want a traitor like you voting with us. We will win anyway and then send you to North Korea where you belong.
Hey LVS, did your parrot shit in your baked potato and your wife served it to you anyway for dinner tonight? I told you I voted for Trump. It’s a true fact. I snapped a photo of my ballot to prove it. I was tired of the liberal judges at the courthouse who play God with our 2nd Amendment rights. But once I saw Trump’s behavior, I realized a terrible mistake had been made.
The only real mistake was letting someone as ignorant as you vote at all.
It is the Democrats that are the traitors to the American People. They have been scamming the American Citizens for decades. Wake up and smell the future. Let your evil Socialist/Democratic Agenda go!
Nada Racist is a racist and a traitor to America!
President Trump has proven himself to be a great leader. Trump Derangement Syndrome is real and it won’t matter how great a job he does those afflicted will go and howl at the sky like they did the other night.
We have all been hoodwinked so badly by Democrats and Republicans alike that when an honest statesman steps up the plate to better his country, it’s hard to accept that we really do have someone that cares about us and America.
I pray in time his good deeds will win over those that refuse to give him a chance. And don’t bother carping to me about Russia, it’s all BS until you can prove there is something there. You all are going to believe what you want so save your breath!
One more thing: President Trump has Putin figured out and clearly knows what kind of scoundrel he is. President Trump also knows you collect more bees with honey that you do a bucket of shit! It’s all about good communication skills. Got it!
As an acolyte you clearly believe Trump will singlehandedly cleanse the government and replace it with something you trust and believe in. Russia aside…the people Trump is installing into office renders your belief system invalid. Adding Russia, and no matter what common sense solution Trump applies, everything he could have done good on China, North Korea, ISIS, is destroyed. He will be impeached. He will be held accountable for how he came to power. It’s sad, but that’s how it goes. Traitorous despots cannot be tolerated. The fact that he does photo-ops with murderous Duterte alone proves how sick and evil Trump truly is.
Trump IS a despot. He’s deliberately replacing the government with incompetent, subjugated fools. He does this to consolidate power. He’s trying to join Putin, not conquer or trick him. As part of Trump’s 3rd reich, you are marching right along to the drumbeat of up and coming fascism. Hillary Clinton did immense damage to this country by running dirty as she did. Trump had a chance to show us he was a good man and he’s blown it nearly every step of the way. He and Bannon are trying to shut the government down, not improve it. He will be stopped. He is evil. They both are evil.
Mike Pence is praying for you Lapdog. And if that doesn’t work his backup plan is conversion therapy for your strange thoughts and behaviors.
Once again the msm is misleading the world. Watch and pay attention to what he said, and take your blinders off and you will hear what he said. They took one sentence and made that their talking point. McCain is irrelevant and should resign his position.
What happened to bodacious comments?? Did she get a guilty conscience and delete her lies?
McCain needs to retire. He is mentally deranged and a traitor. This was fake news all the way. Trump said he “Believed” that Putin “Believed they didn’t meddle in our election. The whole country now knows it was the Democrats (Hitlary)that colluded with Russia. They can try to deny it as usual, but no one will believe them.
Uh, Hey Larry, the truth is nobody believes a word YOU say.!
Did’nt take long for the Russians to kill ISIS in Syria – bush/clinton/obama aided our enemy for years – rats.
Russia was holding America and Syria hostage by protecting Assad regime. Now that American oligarchs are in power, men just as corrupt as themselves, they are trading countries like Risk or Monopoly boardgames. They are working together like old corrupt men in the backroom smoking cigars. You may want that. I don’t. God willing, all of them will meet the fate of Quadafi. Brutal, violent, grisly ends at the hands of the people they oppressed and manipulated. Trump seeks to be amongst them. His delusional quest for world domination will melt his wax, feathers brown, and send him tumbling his way down.
Mc Cain IS a freat to the United States of American along with -obamma/clintons/bushes/sanders/and the DNC rats.
Given McCain’s brain tumor, how much longer will it be before people start doubting his word too?
How are ANY of our life long Congress members any different than a person in prison for life? We take care of both parties, but really get nothing in return except their crap.
McCain is a fool and fell for the FAKE news by the Lame stream Media. Trump said he believes that Putin believes it but he agrees with the U.S. Intelligence agency’s. Democrats and the traitor McCain are all alike, FOOLS.
Are you having trouble understanding Putin’s role in the USSR? He calls all the shots. If Russia hacked the US…Putin ordered it, knew about it, or allowed it.
Wrong again buddy. Trump retracted his statements on Putin AFTER his own staff expressed their opinion that he shouldn’t: 1} Side with Putin on the meddling issue when his own intel agencies say Russia meddled 2} he shouldn’t call American officials “political hacks” and liars especially on Veteran’s Day considering one of them was a decorated war veteran and 3} to say he trusts Putin’s word over his own people is treasonous. Read, LVS, read before you post.
Oh I read the fake news in this article all right. I have also been watching Trump’s speech on T.V. today and know what he said. You can deny it all you want, but, Trump said “He believes that Putin Believes they didn’t do it”. For a teacher you are sure hard to teach. I guess that comes from being a life long lying Democrat>
You are so dense. Read what I wrote. Trump said yesterday he believed Putin. “Every time he sees me he says I didn’t do that, and I really believe that when he tells me that, he means it.
Saturday – “I think he is very insulted by it, which is not a good thing for our country.” Sunday – “As to whether I believe it or not, I’m with our agencies, especially as currently constituted.”

And, just what the hell is wrong with that? Are you really that stupid to put your own spin on what was said?
And the room remains quiet. Such strong, principled supporters of American democracy you all are. Loyal patriots to the end…except when your demagogue raises his little hands in gesticular certitude and tells you what you need to believe. No
Who could trust “classified” information? Not me! Who would trust the FBI? Not me. Who would trust Vladmir Putin? Not me! Who would trust the President of China Premier Xi? Not me!
President Trump is smart as whip and he knows full well what to expect from other world leaders. President Trump knows he can’t fully trust any of them. He will put America “first” and they know that too.
None of know what to expect next from these world leaders and neither does President Trump. All the President or any of can do is work as hard as we can to protect America, and I know full well that President Trump is doing that. Thankfully we now have a President that has America’s back.
That is the best any of us can do.
You are not understanding all the inside deals Trump is involved with, with Russian oligarchs. The Trunp towers he’s been trying to build, the defacto donation in Florida real estate purchases…the list is too plenty to fit in one comment space. It’s all documented and verified. You all were duped by a Putin wannabee American oligarch.
I’m not looking forward to a Pence Presidency but clearly true patriots must hold Trump accountable for what he’s done…and still doing. You guys need to turn on him to preserve the American democratic process and to renounce foreign interlopers.
We do hold him accountable. That is why we are going to re=elect him in 2020. Shouldn’t be a problem as all the Democraps will be in prison where they belong.
HahagahahHaha
Re-elect Trump hahahHah
Trump accountable for anything?? Hahahahaha
You are showing us all that you are a total fool hahaha
