I watched a few other exchanges with other news outlets and I think I got a bead on what's going on. I think these "news" guys are purposely ignoring what Trump was TRYING to state in the tweet. Trump was responding to the WaPo piece, and he was responding as if he's sort of in mid-thought, not actually intending to validate the allegation... but his compulsion to tweet everything that comes into his head is what has gotten him in trouble here... or, at least it contributed heavily to all of this confusion in the wake of it. If someone would take Trump's phone from him, it would do wonders for his administration. Not to mention, all of this press with Sekulow coming out and telling everyone details about Trump assembling a legal team like OJ's Dream Team just makes him look even more suspect and inept.
None of the other appearances were anywhere near as entertaining as Chris Wallace's interview! Sekulow sounds like he got a bad cut of cocaine with Wallace.
If Trump has any sanity left, he must be regretting that he ever ran for president. I have no doubt that the adulation of the crowds during the election were ego-inflating. But, this has got to be exhausting.
