President-elect Donald Trump finally had his intelligence briefing that outlined the evidence that Russia hacked the United States election and fed the information to WikiLeaks. For weeks, Trump has denied that this evidence could be true, saying at one point that he ‘knows things’ others don’t about the Russian hacking. “So, they cannot be sure of the situation,” Trump said outside Mar-a-Lago on New Year’s Eve.

“These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction,” Trump’s transition team said in another statement following a Washington Post report.

Friday after his briefing, Trump suddenly changed his approach and language claiming that there’s no proof that Russia hacked voting machines or votes or that it made any difference.

This dramatic shift was noticed by Twitter and mocked soundly:

I think my favorite joke out of this whole Russia hacking debacle is asking Trump how Putin's dick tastes. — Brian Beaman (@soyezunhomme) January 6, 2017

Trump conveniently forgets to admit he was wrong after intel briefing. Watch for him to suddenly stop talking about Russia entirely. — Sarah Burris (@SarahBurris) January 6, 2017

Trump: "Russia did hack the DNC, but only to get me elected, so that's fine. I only wish they hacked in 2008 so we didn't have Obama now." — Top Conservative Cat (@TeaPartyCat) January 6, 2017

Believe Russia wanted Trump to be President because easier to deal with an idiot than a smart person. — Gayle Alstrom (@GayleAlstrom) January 6, 2017

Maybe Russia didn't change election outcome. But anything Trump now does that rewards Russia, directly undermines our national security. — Susan Hennessey (@Susan_Hennessey) January 6, 2017

It takes a real man to admit that he was wrong… which is why we will never hear Trump admit that Russia had an impact on the election. — Jess Natale (@jessnatale) January 6, 2017
