TRUMP BACKTRACKS ON BEIRUT EXPLOSION: "It *might* have been an attack"

Trump today on his evidence-free claim yesterday that the Beirut explosion was an attack:

“They don’t really know what it is. Nobody knows yet.” He then says, “How can you say accident?” He then says “some people” think it was an attack but some don’t.

Thats not flipping

Trump got orders from BIBi this morning.

What?

Yesterday:

REPORTER: Are you confident the Beirut explosion was an attack?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: "...I've met with some of our great generals & they seem to feel that it was." --- "They would know better than I would. They seem to think ... it was a bomb of some kind, yes."

Trump said yes, he was confident it was attack.

Today:

"It *might* have been an attack"

If not a flip, then he sure is backtracking.

This is seriously all you’ve got.

Now I know Trump is going to win!

He lied yesterday. There were no generals who told him it was an attack.

Get over it.

FUCK OFF!

Yeah it was kinda reckless for him to say that, it could have had tremendous implications.

Would love to see Biden's unscripted reaction. 'Beetroot?, There was a what now, where?'

Trump walks back claim that Beirut explosion was caused by bomb

President Trump on Wednesday hedged his comments from the previous day that the massive explosion in Beirut was caused by a bomb – saying that the blast that left more than 70 dead and thousands injured could have been an accident.

“Whatever happened, it is terrible,” Trump said during his daily press briefing at the White House. “They don’t really know what happened. I don’t think anybody can say right now, we’re looking into it very strongly.”

The president’s comments contradict ones he made on Tuesday when he said top U.S. military commanders had informed him that the explosion in the Lebanese capital was likely caused by a bomb.

“I've met with some of our great generals and they just seem to feel that this was not some kind of manufacturing explosion type of an event,” Trump said Tuesday. “They seem to think it was an attack. It was a bomb of some kind“

From the outset, however, U.S. officials have said that they did not know the cause of the initial fire and explosions that set off the larger blast. But they said they do believe the reports out of Lebanon claiming a large stockpile of ammonium nitrate left over from a seizure is what exploded.

Officials on Wednesday couldn’t identify any “generals” who delivered any such Beirut message to the president. And while none would comment publicly, some noted that defense and intelligence officials didn't have enough information about the explosion to make any statement about the cause on Tuesday evening.

So he lied, then flipped.

Yo-Semite?
