BREAKING: President Trump claims he misspoke while discussing election meddling during news conference with Putin: "In a key sentence in my remarks, I said the word 'would' instead of 'wouldn't.' … The sentence should've been: 'I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be Russia'" pic.twitter.com/2bA9EionD1

Trump is beyond parody. Each time he disgraces himself, his shamelessness allows him to continue. But the same quality should disqualify him from public office. https://t.co/U6OxKAYurk
