What a disgrace in Helsinki!\u00a0 Someone failed to inform Twitler<\/strong><\/em> that \u201cSummit\u201d<\/em><\/strong> is NOT spelled \u201cS-u-b<\/em><\/strong>-m-i-t\u201d.<\/p>\n

Finally coming to the realization of what an abject failure his traitorous performance was, Trump demands a \u201cDo-Over\u201d<\/em> and tries to salvage at least a little bit by declaring an \u201cOopsie\u201d<\/em> and changing what he actually said ( and truly meant):<\/p>\n

\u201cI have President Putin. He just said it\u2019s not Russia. I will say this. I don\u2019t see any reason why it would<\/strong> be.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With his\u00a0 bend-over-backwards-tie-me-in-linguistics-knots<\/em> attempt to clarify with a \u201csort of double negative\u201d \u2013 basically admitting that his own words were \u201cfake news\u201d:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a key sentence in my remarks I said the word \u2018would\u2019 instead of \u2018wouldn\u2019t.\u2019<\/strong> \u00a0The sentence should have been: \u2018I don\u2019t see any reason why it wouldn\u2019t be Russia.\u2019 Sort of a double negative.\u00a0 So, you can put that in, and I think that probably clarifies things pretty good by itself.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Clarifies?\u00a0 Ahhh, no \u2013 not really.\u00a0 But Twitter elected to have fun with his would \u2013 wouldn\u2019t<\/em> flip-flop.<\/p>\n

Clearly the most straightforward (and sadly, truest) is that Trump got mixed up about what he was supposed to say because his text was badly translated from the original Russian.<\/p>\n

And that opened the floodgates with Kim Jong Un<\/strong> wanting to take advantage of that precedent<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The most important thing for Twitler?\u00a0 He added in with his Sharpie \u201cThere was no colusion (sic)\u201d<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 Of course that \u201cstable genius\u201d (as he refers to himself) couldn\u2019t spell it correctly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But most folks on Twitter had fun with seeing what kind of impact the \u201cwould-wouldn\u2019t\u201d<\/em><\/strong> switcheroo have on movies:<\/p>\n

Apollo 13 actually went quite well:<\/p>\n

\u201cHouston, there\u2019s no problem. Nothing has been better. It\u2019s Fake News!\u201d#TrumpMovieQuotes<\/a><\/p>\n
