President Trump on Tuesday made his most forceful comments to date about Russia’s campaign to disrupt U.S. elections, warning Moscow that his administration would counteract any attempts to interfere in the 2018 midterm elections.

Though Trump has at times doubted that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election, he told reporters Tuesday that “certainly there was meddling” and that the U.S. government must be vigilant to prevent foreign intrusions in future elections.

“I think you have to be really watching very closely,” Trump said. “We won’t allow that to happen. We’re doing a very, very deep study, and we’re coming out with, I think, some very strong suggestions on the ‘18 election. I think we’re going to do very well in the ‘18 election, although historically those in the White House have a little bit of a dip.”

Asked at a news conference alongside Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven whether he worries about Russia interfering again, Trump said, “No, because we’ll counteract whatever they do.”

7. Yes but he defines meddling as "when Democrats win"

The Sheriff will look the other way on all interference that helps Republicans

You can bank on it.

When Hillary was expected to win all he did was scream "CROOKED!"

When the Russians helped him win, he said there was no collusion.

This is a shell game, like the three shells and a bean on a table. Success
depends on distracting the audience.
