President Trump on Sunday claimed he never said Russia didn’t meddle in the 2016 presidential race, noting the Russian “hoax” was that his campaign colluded with Russia.
“I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said ‘it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer,’ ” Trump tweeted.
“The Russian ‘hoax’ was that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia – it never did!”

Trump last year said he believed Russian President Vladimir Putin when Putin said he didn’t meddle in the 2016 election.
“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,” Trump said last November.

Based on his late PM-this AM joint Twitter meltdown, it's safe to say "Trump" is having a nervous breakdown as Mueller's walls close in.

Trump v Trump – Less than nine hours apart, Trump claims no American participated with Russia in illegal activity, then claims Hillary & the Dems participated with Russia in illegal activity.

The president's tweets tonight suggest a new level of panic and agitation that is unusual even for him.

The president's tweet this morning is frightening, not because of anything it said, but because it was panicky and strange. It will be of great interest in Moscow to see the President of the United States blaming his own public for letting a Russian operation succeed.
