Trump: 'We're Very Happy With What We're Reading' on Mueller Memos

President Donald Trump spoke to reporters this afternoon and, before confirming John Kelly‘s imminent departure, he had a few comments about the newest developments from the Mueller investigation.

-snip-

“On the Mueller situation,” Trump said today, “we’re very happy with what we’re reading because there was no collusion whatsoever. There never has been. The last thing I want is help from Russia on a campaign.” He went on to tell reporters they should ask Hillary Clinton about Russia instead, calling this whole thing a “very one-sided situation.”

“According to everybody I have spoken to––I have not read it––there’s absolutely no collusion, which is very important,” Trump concluded.

When asked directly if he directed those payments, he said, “No. No.”

"We're happy with what we are reading" and then "I didn't read it, people tell me."

With all of Dotard's special document-handling procedures we've read about, his aides are probably afraid to put the actual pages in front of him so he doesn't tear them up or eat them thinking it's the only copy.

I would laugh so hard if he started carrying on like "WHO IS INDIVIDUAL 1 AND WHY AREN'T THEY LOOKING INTO IT?"

OUr local rag is definitely an arm of the repug party in FL, the editor was some kind of special assistant to Scott at one time Anyway, I was checking it out for football news and decided to see how they handled yesterdays news. They posted an AP article as the lead story and it says President Trump is accused in NY legal filing of campaign finance violations, which are felonies! I was so shocked. I quit reading the paper years ago, except for sports, but every once in a while will check out important stories and this is the first time I have ever seen them saying anything bad at all about drumpf. I think the worm may be turning.

He already knows people bash him all the time for not reading anything...

Of all things to NOT READ, why why why would he not read this himself?!?!

He seriously didn't read the report?? I know I shouldn't be surprised at this point, but I'm seriously stunned. He truly is just a dumb shit. What a wasted life

No pictures, multiple pages, probably more than three bullet-points. People do that for him.

If he is happy about it?

Its all about confusing the easily confused. He isn't going to confuse CNN or MSNBC, nor Democrats, not even Republican reps. He is playing a mind game with his cult followers. Keeping them off balance. Easier to control.
