Wolf Blitzer: Who do you believe, the US intelligence community and US law enforcement or Putin?
Paul wouldn't answer
This sounds about right.

A number of people who’ve discussed election meddling with Trump, including current senior administration officials, say his brain can’t process that collusion and cyberattacks are two different things.
Trump seems constitutionally incapable of taking anything Mueller finds seriously.
He views the entire exercise as a "witch hunt" cooked up by Democrats and Deep State conspirators to undermine his election win.
Ego prevents him acknowledging the possibility that any external action could have interfered with his glorious victory.
Can you imagine being a rube and being proud of the President for today?
Axios' Jonathan Swan: "I just have no words. As press in this room, we are all sitting in here speechless and stunned. Trump cast doubt over the U.S. intelligence community and endorsed Putin’s denial. Trump was given an opportunity to denounce the meddling and he didn’t; he just pivoted to lines about the missing server and Hillary’s emails. While Putin spoke forcefully, lying, Trump nodded along. There’s no way of sugar coating or spinning this."
Fox Business host Neil Cavuto: "That’s what made his performance disgusting. I’m sorry its the way I feel. It's not a right or left thing, it’s just wrong. A U.S. president on foreign soil talking to our biggest enemy, or adversary, or competitor … is essentially letting the guy get away with this and not even offering a mild criticism, that set’s us back a lot.”
Going to be fascinating to see who jumps ship after today.
What's even crazier than today's "summit" is that Trump's performance wasn't all that surprising to anyone who's been remotely paying attention to the Russian scandal. It was slightly worse than I expected but none of it was shocking to me.
Was it shocking to anyone?
This is easily the worst thing that has ever happened since the last two hundred and eighty seven worst things that have ever happened in the past eighteen months.
I think you could make a pretty strong argument that this the worst point in his Presidency.
