"I Believe That He Believes He Didn't Do It."

On a state visit to Vietnam, Donnie Waddlebutt got all tangled up in his "beliefs."

Regarding Russian interference in our 2016 election, on Saturday our fake president said this:  "He [Putin] said he didn't meddle.  I asked him again.  And I believe, I really believe he means it.  I think he is very insulted by it."

As for the four U.S. intelligence agencies which concluded that the Russian government did indeed work to influence our election, "Gimme a break!  They [the intelligence agencies and their leaders] are political hacks.  President Putin very strongly, vehemently says he had nothing to do with it."

"I'm lying again, and I don't give a shit."

Then on Sunday, the Lyin' King attempted a reboot, self-translating his previous remarks like so:  "What I said -- and I'm surprised there's any conflict on this -- what I said there is that I believe he believes that, and that's very important for someone to believe.  I believe that he feels he and Russia did not meddle.  As to whether I believe it or not, I'm with our agencies."

Wow!  That's a spectacularly tortured word salad.  For a congenital, constant liar, you'd think he'd be better at it by now.

Imagine our history if other presidents had been such stupidly compromised liars.

John F. Kennedy:  "I believe Kruschev believes there are no Russian missiles in Cuba."

Franklin Roosevelt:  "I believe the Japanese ambassador believes there was no attack on Pearl Harbor."

Dolt 45 wraps up his Asian "diplomatic" tour today with a state visit to his role model, Philippine strongman dictator Rodrigo Duterte, of whom Trump said, "I believe he believes he's not a murderous thug."
