Though if everything he says is a lie, does this mean they didn't meddle with the election?
JK, we know they did. Trump looooves these little slips, where he admits it's all a game to him and we're twisting in the wind trying to interpret him. Funny guy.

ETA: Making sure the tweet doesn't go away as I have had difficulty fetching this tweet. This is what Trump wrote 03Nov@02:05PM

Except this time the lifeboats are reserved for steerage passengers only and everyone in first class goes down.
No chance the tweet goes away. It's a pretty good bet that thousands (if not many more) took a screenshot (I did.)
I smile at the thought of the uproar in the White House when 45's staff discovered what he tweeted.
I'm of two minds about that tweet. Trump is not at all bright, but he IS tenacious.
On the one hand, he is stupid enough, emotional enough, and impulsive enough to have slipped with that tweet and was indeed admitting Russia helped him.
On the other hand, for a while he and Fox—as well as a few other right-wing media outlets—tried to float the narrative that Russia did meddle, but it was to help Hillary Clinton, not him. At least some of his base hold to that view. I still hear it down here.
Upshot: It's that niggling word "trying" that keeps me wondering what he thinks he was saying. Thing is, with Trump you just don't know sometimes.

That might be his line of thought when he wrote it. It's yet another tweet clusterfuck Sarah Huckabee-Sanders will have to mop up at the next WH press meeting. Or maybe she'll just say "the President's tweets speaks for themselves" with a monumental mental eye roll.

Yeah. As much as I'd love this to be a nice solid nail in the coffin, there's no way this stands up as solid evidence.
The man has few talents besides noxiousness and a posse that will abandon every scruple to support him, but his ability to create doubt around clear and obvious statements is a superpower.
Heh, I should say that HE makes the statement unclear, not that we're reading too much ambiguity into it. Though I often worry we do too much of that as well.
No, it's not evidence of anything beyond his inherent mendacity.
But I'm interested to see how it will be spun.
And of course the core message—propagating hearsay about a Democratic running for election is interesting; I haven't had a chance yet to look into that, but it's on my list.
i can see it both ways....
i guess it all depends on the mindset you have about trump when reading it....
