The alternative is being enemies and wat as clinton threatened during the campaign. Which do you prefer? Pro Tip: Innocent people say 'no'. [/quote] Tired people say f off. I can imagine if he flat said No, there would be more prodding. He just said in sincerity it is a hurtful thing to accuse him of that, insinuating any more stupid questions aren't necessary, so he helped her get a clue and changed the subject. If he said flat No, it would be as if he is being interrogated. He's not so they were speaking as acquaintances. [/quote] Ohhh...so THAT'S why he didn't just come out and flat out say "no". :norespect: [/quote] Do you believe President Trump is a Russian spy or is working for Russia? [/quote] I don't know with any degree of certainty one way or another. Trump certainly didn't provide a direct answer tonight. [/quote] Do you believe we should work with russia or be enemies/war as clinton wanted in her campaign?

I literally see it all around me in my town/family/business/etc You can tell me im lying, but youd be wrong [/quote] I never said he did. What I said is that I don't know one way or another. [/quote] Then why chime in on every trump thread with your speculative bullshit? Just like to troll? Its been almost 2.5 years. We have evidence in actions trump is the real deal [/quote] While I agree that Trump's stated objectives are what the nation needs and that his actions so far have improved our nation, I would NEVER say that I know the fully exposed character and heart - "real deal" - of anyone after just 2.5 years. Even if I've been with someone, in person, every day for a decade or more, I would not say that about them. Spies, sleeper cell agents, long cons, serial killers, psychopaths, criminals, men with hidden second wives and families, people that carry on long term affairs, etc, are common. These people are usually able to deceive everyone around them, including their own spouses and children, to make them think they're the best person ever and would never do x, y, z. We've been witnesses to small fragments of Trump's life, from afar. We haven't been with him, in person, for 2.5 years, much less decades. If common types of people can deceive their own families and coworkers for decades, why should we think that we really know Trump after only a few years of seeing him via TV? [/quote]

President Donald Trump on Saturday said he would be willing to release the details of his private conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki last summer.
“I would. I don’t care,” Trump told Fox News host Jeanine Pirro in a phone interview, adding: “I’m not keeping anything under wraps. I couldn't care less.”
The president’s remarks came hours after a report by The Washington Post stating that Trump “has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details” of his talks with Putin. The Post also reported that there is no detailed record of Trump’s interactions with Putin at five locations over the past two years, according to U.S. officials.
The president referred to his roughly two-hour dialogue with Putin in Helsinki — at which only the leaders and their translators were present — as “a great conversation” that included discussions about “securing Israel and lots of other things.”
House Republicans in July quashed an attempt by Democratic lawmakers to subpoena Trump's interpreter in Helsinki.
Asked by Pirro if he'd ever worked on behalf of Russia, Trump did not directly answer the question, calling the Times' report "insulting."
PIRRO: "Are you now or have you ever worked for Russia, Mr. President?"
TRUMP: "I think it’s the most insulting thing I’ve ever been asked... If you read the article, you’ll find they had nothing... It’s called the failing New York Times for a reason..." (then pivots to Comey)
