President Trump said at a press conference Tuesday that he misspoke at a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. We get where he’s coming from…

LET ME BE TOTALLY CLEAR:

“Let me be totally clear in saying that…and I’ve said this many times…I accept our intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election took place. I actually went out and reviewed a clip of an answer that I gave, and I realized there is a need for some clarification. It should have been obvious, I thought it would be obvious, but I would like to clarify just in case it wasn’t. In a key sentence in my remarks, I said ‘would’ instead of ‘wouldn’t.’ The sentence should have been ‘I don’t see any reason why I wouldn’t or why it wouldn’t be Russia.’ So, just to repeat it, I said the word ‘would’ instead of ‘wouldn’t.’

“Sort of a double negative…”

STRONG MEETING:

“I think the meeting I had with President Putin was really strong. I think that they were willing to do things that, frankly, I wasn’t sure they’d be willing to do. And we’ll be having future meetings and we’ll see if that comes to fruition,” Trump said. “We had a very, very good meeting.”

RESPECT FOR INTEL:

“We have tremendous people, tremendous talent … and we all want the same thing, we want success for our country.”
