Revisionism

A Las Vegas appearance by Donald Trump in the early weeks of his presidential candidacy is coming back into public attention.

“I know Putin, and I’ll tell you what—we get along with Putin,” Trump said at a libertarian convention in 2015.

USA Today paired that Trump quote with this one, from 2017: “I don’t know Putin, have no deals in Russia.”

That second one was a Trump tweet posted 18 days after he was sworn in as president, when there was rising comment about the alleged Russia connection.
