Everyone seems to know it was a joke since it is being referred to as such. What was the joke, by the way? In the meantime, Trump puts sancions on Russia, frees up oil drilling which hurts Russia's oil profits. Warns Russia not to meddle in our elections. Puts sanctions on Russia ally Iran, pretty much crippling its economy, Puts tariffs on Russia's number one military ally China. etc. Sanctions and economic warfare. Jokes. Which is it? Both. He can walk and chew gum at the same time.

United States and Japan and a pillar of American foreign policy. On Wednesday, asked about the treaty on Fox News, Mr. Trump sneered, “If Japan is attacked, we will fight World War III.” Then he added: “But if we’re attacked, Japan doesn’t have to help us at all. They can watch it on a Sony television.” (I guess he doesn't understand the concept of scale or treaties )

More typical Trump sarc/joke. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew more about scale or treaties than you do. And he has more "expert" advisers available to him than you do. And, despite the fascist that he is made out to be, he won't stop you from expressing your ill informed opinion.

or “U.S. companies can sell their equipment to Huawei,” Trump said at a news conference. “We’re talking about equipment where there’s no great national security problem with it.”

The Trump administration has previously said Huawei is a national security issue, not a trade problem.

which is it???

As Spence would say, it depends on the context.

And to suggest there isn't a better choice for POTUS is basic

There's always, in someone's opinion, a better choice. Trick is in finding him/her/it. And making sure that it meets all the specs required by wdmso.

Which time are you referring to? It was joking sarcasm both times. But for TDS folks it was a joke only when it suits them. Not my rationalization. Very obviously so.

and you know this how??

It was obvious. And you know differently how??

Is this the line on fox or you tube ..

Don't watch Fox. Do you? Didn't get it from youtube either. Actually, the leftist press called this recent one a joke.

So, if you think that I have to depend on some media source to tell me how to think, does that mean you do? Or are you special?

this doesn't phase you but the communists are helping the Democrats post .. does ????

What am I supposed to be phased about? Some ill-mannered so called "journalist" tries to embarrass Trump in the middle of his conversation with Putin by yelling out if he was going to tell Putin not to meddle in our election, and so Trump sarcastically does so? I am supposed to take this as some meaningful evidence that Trump is conspiring, that he has a bromance with Putin, that he is going to betray America? Really???

And the Communists actually being in cahoots with the Democrats, NO JOKING, really and truly and openly and sincerely, and the Dems not disavowing them, doesn't phase you? And you can go on and on about Trump colluding with Russia when there is no real evidence that he is or was? And you can't say nary a peep about the undisputed aid the Commies give the Dems?

I'm not on the right. I was and remain center left / center right on most things. I am an independent for 2 decades. I can go the last 20 years and call major issues both parties and few pluses both parties.

You can't get out of one party.

As is quite often the case, you make no sense. What conspiracies? What map? Are you dog whistling?

Whatever nonsense your peddling here, you haven't responded to what I said . . . of course, that's not unusual for you.

Just what would you consider appropriate press behavior with the current administration having less press conferences than any other.
This administration started its first press conference with a lie and has been consistently lying in press conferences and all media for its term to date.
Since when is it none of the presses business what Trump says to Putin?
Perhaps another of Trump’s sarcastic jokes was how Putin doesn’t have problems with fake news, just how many Russian reporters have died since the start of Putin’s regime?
