President Donald Trump embarrassed the United States in front of the world again, when he chose to take the word of ruthless Russian dictator Vladimir Putin over the reports gathered by American intelligence services. True to form, Trump changed course when that didn’t go over great with the American public. So, then he claimed he meant to say the exact opposite of what he did actually say, and also “THERE WAS NO COLUSION.” [sic]
While our government is a terrifying laughingstock, at least we can take to social media to lampoon and pronounce the emperor has no clothes. Here’s Twitter dunking on Trump’s latest pathetic lie.
"And when I said 'grab them by the pussy' I obviously meant 'I am a fan of Ruth Bader Ginsburg' and other high-achieving women."

Obviously I meant to say that I find my wife's best friend LESS attractive than her. I checked the transcript and apparently there was some confusion when I said "My wife's best friend absolutely SMOKES my garbage spouse."

"I meant to say I DIDN'T try and fuck her. I DIDN'T move on her like a bitch. She’s NOT got the big phony tits. I better NOT use some Tic Tacs just in case I DON'T start kissing her. When you’re a star,they DON'T let you do it. You CAN'T do anything. DON'T grab ‘em by the pussy."

"I was out murdering eight people."
"A-ha! We got you!"
"Wait. Hang on."
*TWENTY-SEVEN HOURS LATER*
"Let me clarify. I meant to say I WASN'T out murdering eight people."
"Dangit. Okay. You're free to go."

What else is Trump going to flip on after his trip? “I said it was a great honor to meet Queen Elizabeth; what I meant to say is she’s a thirsty little diva.”

Omg that's how Melania can get out of the marriage… "I meant to say 'i don't.' That should clear up a few things."
