This morning Trump thanked Fox News and their show Fox and Friends for putting together a montage of him saying that Russia meddled in the 2016 election “many times”:
“Trump recognized Russian Meddling MANY TIMES.” Thank you to @foxandfriends and @FoxNews for actually showing the clips. The Fake News wants no part of that narrative! Too bad they don’t want to focus on all of the ECONOMIC and JOBS records being set.

He then posted the montage on his twitter for everyone to watch:

It’s a montage of him admitting that Russia meddled in the 2016 election and saying that other countries probably also meddled.
Earlier this morning he chided the “fake news media” for making up stories that aren’t true…
The Fake News Media is going Crazy! They make up stories without any backup, sources or proof. Many of the stories written about me, and the good people surrounding me, are total fiction. Problem is, when you complain you just give them more publicity. But I’ll complain anyway!

And for wanting Trump to confront Putin so hard that it could lead to war:
The Fake News Media wants so badly to see a major confrontation with Russia, even a confrontation that could lead to war. They are pushing so recklessly hard and hate the fact that I’ll probably have a good relationship with Putin. We are doing MUCH better than any other country!

Trump then tweeted that his summit with Russia was actually great and he looks forward to their next meeting:
The Summit with Russia was a great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media. I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed, including stopping terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear........

....proliferation, cyber attacks, trade, Ukraine, Middle East peace, North Korea and more. There are many answers, some easy and some hard, to these problems...but they can ALL be solved!
