Top National News Media Analyses: Trump Sides With Putin, Against US Intel On US Election Meddling. Media coverage of the President Trump?s joint press conference with Vladimir Putin is extremely unfavorable. Reports brimming with outrage cast the President as siding with Putin in doubting the conclusion of US intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election, and failing to challenge Putin on his denials. Trump later sought to clarify his position on Twitter, but his efforts did not appear to affect the tone of the media analyses. Trump wrote, ?As I said today and many times before, have GREAT con?dence in MY intelligence people.? However, I also recognize that in order to build a brighter ?iture, we cannot exclusively focus on the past as the world?s two largest nuclear powers, we must get along!? In a second tweet, he added, would rather take a political risk in pursuit of peace, than to risk peace in pursuit of politics.? He wrote, productive dialogue is not only good for the United States and good for Russia, but it is good for the world.? ABC World News Tonight it (7/16, story 3, 2:40, Karl) reported ?the President?s senior advisers are keenly aware this did not go well,? and ?are pointing to the President?s tweet on the way back to effort begin the cleanup process.? In an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News? Hannig in Trump said, ?First of all,? Putin ?said there was no collusion whatsoever. I guess he said it as strongly as you can say it. They have no information on Trump. And one thing you know, if they had it, it would have been out. And he also said there?s absolutely no collusion, which you know, and everybody that watches this show knows, and I think most of the country knows.? Trump added, think it?s a shame. We are talking about nuclear proliferation, we are talking about Syria and humanitarian aid, we are talking about these different things, and we get questions on the witch hunt. And I don?t think the people out in the country buy it, but the reporters like to give it a shot. I thought that President Putin was very, very strong.? At any rate, as the Daily Caller 16, Caruso) puts it, ?members of the establishment media were by the press conference. On CNN it 16), Anderson Cooper said that it was ?one of the most disgraceful performances by an American President at a summit,? and on ABC News it Terry Moran called the press conference ?astonishing? and added, ?For those who might have been hoping for any kind of statement of defense of the American the President of the United States, you got quite the opposite.? Norah O?Donnell said on CBS News it ?They were almost chummy, as if they were allies, the way they talked about one another and the way they wanted to move forward in the future.? Major Garrett said on CBS News it ?You cannot have con?dence in American intelligence agencies who have come to this conclusion uniformly and then say, ?Well, Russia denied it, why would they even think about doing it?? They?re incompatible. They are utterly incompatible.? Jim Acosta said on it 16) that it was ?astonishing, just astonishing to be in the room with the US President and with the Russian President on this critical question of election interference and to hear the President of the United States retreat back to these talking points about DNC servers and Hillary Clinton?s emails when he had a chance right there in front of us, right there in front of the world to confront Vladimir Putin and tell him to stay the hell out of American democracy, and he just didn?t do it.? Mark Landler writes for the New York Times (7/16, Landler) that Trump ?made one thing clear? that ?he is willing to take Mr. Putin?s word over those of his own intelligence agencies. Such an admission by a president sworn to be the principal defender of the Constitution and America?s sovereignty in the world is extraordinary enough. But it was only one of several statements made by Mr. Trump, the likes of which no other American president has ever uttered on foreign soil.? Andrea Mitchell said on NBC News it 16, story 4, 0:50, Holt) that Trump ?showed he was not willing to stand up to the Russian leader,? and ?foreign diplomats are saying for the ?rst time in 70 years they cannot depend on an American President. That creates a real crisis for American foreign policy.? ABC World News Tonight it (7/16, lead story, 6:05, Moran) reported that ?the message? from the summit ?is that the world needs to adjust to a hard fact of life, this President has decided to shi? American foreign policy away from the traditional allies, the western democracies and get closer to Moscow and the Kremlin.? NBC News it (7/16, story 9, 1:10, Holt) similarly reported that ?Trump is heading this part of the world spinning in unfamiliar directions. It?s been a trip unlike any other by an American President in which Mr. Trump realigned our long-held concepts of ?iends and adversaries the EU a foe, Russia to be trusted.? ABC World News Tonight it (7/16, story 2, 3:30, Thomas) reported that ?a number of sources? in the intelligence community ?said their jaws dropped, they could believe that the President would take Putin?s opinion over theirs.? The CBS Evening News it (7/16, lead story, 4:05, Garrett) said that in a Trump ?appeared to side with Putin over US intelligence agencies,? and NBC News it (7/16, lead story, 5:10, Holt) described Trump as ?appearing to place his trust in Putin over his own intelligence agencies,? and ?potentially emboldening Russia to try and undermine future elections.? CNN chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour said on CNN ?3 Anderson Cooper 360 it don?t think there is any question that it was a massive train wreck and pulling out of this and trying to reconstruct American credibility is going to be incredibly dif?cult.? Former Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said on CNN ?3 Situation Room it ?I?m still too shocked today to be angry. The disgrace is really I can?t believe I?m going to say this but the disgrace is our Commander in Chief right now today.? Lt. Col. Ralph Peters (ret.) said on Anderson Cooper 360 it ?What is it going to take for Trump supporters to accept the fact, the apparent fact, that Trump is indebted to Vladimir Putin? We have a President who appears not merely willing but eager to compromise our security, to betray our national interests, to betray our country.? Politico (7/16, Nussbaum) says Trump ?publicly sided over his own intelligence agencies,? which the Washington Examiner 16, Morrongiello) calls a ?stunning admission,? and USA Today (7/16, Korte, Fritze) says that ?in siding with Putin, Trump took the word of a former KGB agent over the assessment of US intelligence agencies under two administrations and the Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee.? Meanwhile, the New York Times 16) refers to ?a remarkable news conference? in which ?Trump stopped short of saying he believed Mr. Putin more than he did his own aides about Moscow?s meddling in the 2016 election.? The Times says ?the president?s a remarkable divergence between Mr. Trump and the American national security apparatus.? The Wall Street Journal (7/16, Ballhaus) reports that when asked whom he believed US intelligence agencies or Putin Trump said, ?[Director of National Intelligence] Dan Coats came to me. They said, they think it?s Russia. I have President Putin, he just said it?s not Russia. I will say this, I don?t see any reason why it would be.? Jonathan Karl said on News it ?It seemed to be not only that he felt that Putin?s denial was strong and powerful: he accepted the denial. Really extraordinary moment, an extraordinary joint press conference.? The Washington Post (7/16, Rucker, Troianovski, Kim) reports the President?s ?failure to directly confront? Putin on the meddling allegations Washington?s national security establishment and drew stern rebukes from leaders of both political parties.? In their private meeting Monday, Putin ?apparently persuaded Trump to discount the ?ndings of his own intelligence agencies.? Trump, the (7/16, Lemire, Colvin, Isachenkov) reports, ?openly questioned his own intelligence agencies? conclusions? and ?seemed to accept Putin?s insistence that Russia?s hands were clean.? Said Trump, have great con?dence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today.? Bret Baier said on Fox News it ?The President brought up the interference and the meddling, he brought up sticky issues with Russia. But the way that he dealt with it, defending himself, really not going was pretty interesting to watch.? Former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul said on NBC News it 16), ?It was easy. He could have hit it out of the park. He could have pushed back. He could have agreed with his own intelligence team. He had the opportlmity to do it and he decided not to. He obviously decided not to do that and I was deeply disappointed by that.? Reuters (7/16, Mason) says Trump ?said not a single critical word about Moscow on any of the issues that have brought relations between the two powers to the lowest ebb since the Cold War.? Margaret Brennan said on CBS News it ?It is there was not one issue of substance that the President of the United States laid out. He just spoke about himself, a defense of his own election, and seemed to be characterizing all of this, the Mueller probe, all of it, as an investigation as to whether or not he should be President.? Kristin Welker similarly said on IE News it ?The big moment for me was when President Trump was asked to ?atly denounce Russian meddling, to say to Putin that it won?t be tolerated, and he didn?t do it. Instead, he again went back to those familiar talking points, blaming the Democrats, trying to shift the subject, talking about the fact that he ran this fantastic campaign, and missed an opportunity to say, ?This is not going to be tolerated.?? The Hill (7/16, Fabian) says Trump?s performance ?earned him instant condemnation from his critics who say he has too close of a relationship with the Russian leader.? John Roberts said on Fox News it ?Critics will look at this and say, nothing came of this except that the President looked like he was cozying up to Vladimir Putin. Supporters of the President say it was probably a good thing when you consider how bad an adversarial relationship between the United States and Russia could be that you do open lines of communication.? Mary Kissel likewise said on Fox News it think that the President came off as wanting to have more meetings and going to Putin and asking for Putin?s help, when really, we should be in that position of having Putin coming to us and asking us to ease up on him.? The (7/16, Lemire, Colvin, Isachenkov) reports that for his part, Putin said he did want Trump to win the election, ?but took no action during the campaign to make it happen.? In fact, the Washington Times 16, Boyer, Miller) reports Putin insisted that ?the Russian state has never interfered and is not going to interfere? in US elections. When asked by a reporter what proof could be offer to exonerate Russia, Putin ?challenged the reporter to ?name a single fact that proves? Russian involvement.? The Washington Examiner (7/16, Nelson) says the Russian leader also ?invited special counsel Robert Mueller to submit legal paperwork against the accused Russians, so that the Russian government can facilitate interrogations.? The New York Times (7/16, Schwirtz, Vogel) reports that ?in United States would also have to permit Russian law enforcement of?cials to take part in interrogations of people ?who have something to do with illegal actions on the territory of Russia.?? Trump ?singled out one man in particular: William F. Browder,? a ?London-based financier, who has led a global human rights crusade against the Kremlin that has resulted in sanctions being leveled against numerous Russian of?cials.? Politico (7/16, Murray) reports Putin also ?sidestepped a question asking whether he has compromising material? on Trump, calling the possibility just ?rumors.? Said the Russian leader, ?Yeah, I did hear these rumors that we allegedly collected compromising material on Mr. Trump when he was visiting Moscow. Please disregard these issues and don?t think about this anymore again.? The (7/16, Charlton, Heintz) reports that Russian media cast Monday?s summit ?as a heartening step forward, with the Kremlin leader as the more prominent ?gure.? A?er the leaders? joint news conference, Russian media ?also took some swipes at American journalists for their purported obsession with Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election.? CNN senior international correspondent Frederik Pleitgen said on CNN ?5 Situation Room it 16) that the Russians are ?taking a victory lap after this. Right after the summit ?nished, Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, came out and said that the meeting was magni?cent, that it was better than good.? Pleitgen added that and politicians in Russia [are] ?at-out praising President Trump for some of the things he?s said.? The New York Times (7/16, Higgins, Erlanger) reports that ?Putin did not to endorse his seizure of Crimea, lift sanctions, halt a new arms race that Moscow can ill afford or cut a deal on any of the other issues that have so poisoned relations between Russia and the United States.? Yet he ?did get what he needed most from the meeting in Helsinki: a statement that, whatever America?s intelligence community might say about meddling by Moscow in the 2016 is welcome back in the club of global leaders.? Trump Condemns Mueller Probe, Says It Stems From Democrats? Anger Over Clinton Loss. In what it calls ?a stunning news conference,? the Los Angeles Times 16, Stokols) reports Trump ?more than the probe of special counsel Robert S. Mueller and ?lamented the ?cloud? the investigation has cast over his Victory? against Hillary Clinton. Breitbait 16, Spiering) says Trump ?blamed the Russia investigation for introducing complications into the relationship between the two countries.? Said the President, think the probe is a disaster for our country. I think it?s kept us apart, it?s kept us separated.? The Washington Times 16, Boyer, Miller)notes the President ?said the Mueller probe stemmed from Democrats making excuses for Hillary Clinton?s upset election loss.? Said Trump, ?It was a clean campaign. I beat Hillary Clinton easily. It is a shame that there can be even a little bit of a cloud over it.? NBC News in 16, story 5, 2: 15, Williams) reported Mueller ?has been the special counsel for 14 months, racking up a string of guilty pleas and indictments. He?s twice charged individual Russians by name with election meddling. Thirteen Russians and three Russian companies accused of a disinformation campaign on social media.?

Tucker Carlson said on Fox News Tucker Carlson Tonight it 16), ?I?m in no way defending Russia, with which I have no connection whatsoever. I?m basically agnostic and I take it as a matter of faith that they seek to in?uence the US government, undermine our elections. None of that surprises me at all. I just don?t understand why Russia uniquely is considered an unacceptable partner for conversation while at the same time we are happy to have close intimate relations with Saudi Arabia, for example, the government of China for example, both more repressive than the government of Russia. I?m missing this. Why the emphasis on Russia??

Trevor Noah: ?If your name is Vladimir Putin, then today was a very good day, because today the President of the United States took yoru' side in a ?ght between you and the United States.? Trevor Noah: ?On the list of people to never trust, Putin is between and the mom from ?Get Out.?? Trevor Noah: ?Now, in Trump?s defense, he has a good point. Sure, on the one hand, Russia messed with the US by meddling in their elections. But on the other hand, America held elections, so they were asking for it.? Trevor Noah: ?Don?t get me wrong, I wasn?t expecting Trump to cuss out Putin to his face, but you have to admit it?s pretty wild for the President of the United States to defend Russia against the United States. It?s like seeing your team?s cheerleader prunping 11p the other side. It?s like, ?Go, team! And also their team! Both teams! But mostly their team.’” Trevor Noah: “What did we expect? This is what you get when you put a KGB agent up against a KFC agent.” Jimmy Kimmel: “On Friday, he had tea with the Queen. And on Friday – see, on Friday this seemed like a big deal. The President walked in front of the Queen, which is apparently a no-no. It’s a royal faux pas. You’re not supposed to turn your back on the Queen or pour ketchup in her tea or take the hat off her had head and swat a fly with it. You’re not supposed to do any of those things. But that turned out to be nothing compared with what happened in Finland this morning.” Jimmy Kimmel: “Helsinki has frozen over. The President of the United States today publicly sided with Russia over our own FBI on the subject of cyber attacks on our election campaign. Trump had a meeting today with his KGBff, Vladimir Putin, and in an interview with CBS yesterday he said he was going into this meeting with low expectations. We all were.” Jimmy Kimmel: “If you’re wondering whether or not Vladimir Putin has an incriminating video of Donald Trump, we now know beyond a treasonable doubt he does.” Jimmy Kimmel: “This wasn’t a good day for Donald Trump. We haven’t seen an American so owned by a Russian since Rocky IV.” Jimmy Kimmel: “Putin’s just having fun with this now. He actually offered to have his intelligence agents investigate the hacking of our election. That’s like Papa John offering to investigate who’s been saying all the racist stuff at the company.” Jimmy Kimmel: “One of the reasons that Trump’s lack of backbone was so appalling today is because his own Justice Department on Friday indicted 12 Russian intelligence agents for hacking Clinton’s staff members and DNC servers during the campaign. Twelve Russian agents, each one of them nested in an agent slightly larger than the other.” Stephen Colbert: “So Trump’s in Helsinki with his buddy Vlad, and this meeting is just three days after 12 Russian military intelligence agents under direct Kremlin control were indicted for hacking the 2016 election. Twelve agents sounds like a lot. But, remember, they’re Russian, so they were all nested inside one big agent.” Stephen Colbert: “First, the two men had a private meeting with only translators in the room. And to make sure everyone stayed out, they put this sign on the door: ‘Strongmen Only – No Girls Allowed.’” Stephen Colbert: Trump’s press conference with Putin got “the worst reviews I’ve seen since Titanic. And I don’t mean the movie. ‘One star. I drowned. Great band, though.’” Jimmy Fallon: “The big story is that today President Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Finland. Trump was pretty nervous, which makes sense, because most people are nervous when meeting their boss.” Jimmy Fallon: “According to experts, Trump and Putin had a lot to negotiate in their meeting. Trump says negotiations went great. Putin now controls New York and California. In exchange, Trump got three magic beans.” Jimmy Fallon: “Actually, at the end of the meeting, Trump and Putin didn’t sign any formal deal or agreement, mainly because they both spent the whole time trying to make sure the other guy wasn’t Sacha Baron Cohen.” Jimmy Fallon: “But after their time together, Putin did say that the meeting went very well. In fact, it went so well that Putin said he might make Tnunp President for another fom? years.? Jimmy Fallon: ?After the press conference, CNN, and even Fox News slammed Trump for his performance. Tnunp said we shouldn?t jlunp to any conclusions until we hear what Cartoon Network has to say.? Jimmy Fallon: ?Before he met Putin, Trump was in the UK where he met Queen Elizabeth. Did you see that? It got off to a bumpy start when the ?st thing told the Queen is that he knows all the words to ?Bohemian Rhapsody.?? Seth Meyers: ?President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin had a one-on-one meeting today that lasted over two hom?s. Ugh, poor Trump! That is a long time to hang outwith your boss.? Seth Meyers: ?In an interview with the newspaper The 81111, President Trump said immigration has changed the fabric of Europe, adding, quote, ?And I don?t mean that in a positive way.? Said Trump, ?1 mean it in racist way. Copyright 2018 by Bulletin Intelligence LLC Reproduction or redistribution without permission prohibited.
