The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 2062 - Politics and Economics

Ya I never in the slighest pushed back against his response being beyond stupid. Zero clue why people seem to feel the need to tell me this. His sarcasm was completely ridiculous. But there is no need to pretend it wasn't exactly what he said it was: sarcastic.

EDIT: Putin' it another way, how many times has Donald Trump claimed sarcasm besides this time when he was asked, "Was that sarcasm?"?

Hint: Both answers are the same IIRC.

I'm really not sure exactly what the middle ground between "not sincere" and "sarcastic" you are all adamantly trying to stand on is. Why don't you all work out whatever the adjective you prefer is and get back to me.

Trump was clearly obfuscating/equivocating with that statement. Intentionally vague and open to interpretation so he can avoid saying anything negative about Russia/Putin without infuriating everyone but his base.

Too bad the crowd wasn't Muslims with 2x4s and guns. I wanted to see the other tweet.

"TERRORISTS just hijacked the streets of Charlottesville, VA. Police must make arrests now or I will send in the Feds! Fire + Fury"

It's impossible to follow what this idiot is trying to say. It's just rambling nonsense.
