1/ Trump called his meeting with Putin "even better" than his "great meeting with NATO" allies while blaming the media for being "rude" and "going Crazy!" During yesterday's news conference, Trump said he doesn't "see any reason" why Russia would meddle during the last election, blaming the U.S. for acting with "foolishness and stupidity" toward Russia in the past. Trump also rejected the consensus of U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election. Instead, Trump said he believed Putin's denial.
