No, you don’t understand.The two are hardly the same. I am not clear that Trump flip-flopped on meeting Putin. I thought it was regarding what was said at the meeting.
Statement on May 27, 2014:
”I own Miss Universe, I was in Russia, I was in Moscow recently and I spoke, indirectly and directly, with President Putin, who could not have been nicer, and we had a tremendous success.”
Asked on October 6, 2015 if he had met Putin:
“Yes, a long time ago. We got along great, by the way.”
(We’ll leave out the time Donald Trump claimed to have met Putin in the “green room” when they were both on 60 Minutes, because he walked that back later and admitted that they had only both been featured on the same segment.)
Then after he is nominated, Donald Trump said this:
“But I have nothing to do with Russia, nothing to do, I never met Putin, I have nothing to do with Russia whatsoever.”
Just taking that pageant to Moscow was reported at the time to be a $14 million dollar deal. This does not count all the real estate deals he made with Russians or the loans he got coming out of Russia. It doesn’t count efforts to get Trump hotels in Moscow or the vodka venture that failed. He has nothing to do with Russia? Sorry, but if that doesn’t move your “Is That Plausible?” meter, I don’t know if anything would.
Then after election Trump meets Putin and won’t allow notes to be kept on what was said? Didn’t allow anyone else but translators in the room? He says it is no one’s business what they’re discussing?
Yeah, that sounds like Trump can be trusted. Totally makes sense.
