Trump woke up on Thursday morning in the mood to attack the media for airing an interview that clearly shows him admitting to accepting foreign campaign assistance in the upcoming 2020 election.
Trump claimed on Twitter that the media misrepresented his statements made on ABC News. He also compared his statements about receiving assistance from Russia to meeting with the queen of England and other world leaders.
“I meet and talk to ‘foreign governments’ every day,” Trump tweeted. “I just met with the Queen of England (U.K.), the Prince of Whales, the P.M. of the United Kingdom, the P.M. of Ireland, the President of France and the President of Poland.”
“We talked about ‘Everything!’” he continued. “Should I immediately call the FBI about these calls and meetings? How ridiculous! I would never be trusted again. With that being said, my full answer is rarely played by the Fake News Media. They purposely leave out the part that matters.”
