Like the Melania speech, Trumps inability to walk back a statement is thing to behold.
In 2014, he said he had many good conversations with V. Putin. (link)
In 2015 during a Republican debate, he said he meet him when they were on 60 minutes together. "Good discussions, great ratings. We were stablemates"* (link)
In 2016 (three days ago) he asked for Putin to use the Russian government to hack Hilary Clinton.
In 2016 (two days ago) Tump was arguing this was fine and no problem
In 2016 (yesterday) Tump said it was sarcastic - don't you get it? And those Republicans that didnt' know it was a joke. SAD.
Oh, and by the way, he said he has never meet Putin and never talked to him.
* Stablemates - I think this is a disgusting illusion to 2 Stud Horses housed next to each other. You know, Putin the outdoorsman and Donald of the short, stubby sausage fingers
