Trump in 2016: “WikiLeaks, I love WikiLeaks” Trump in 2019: “I know nothing about WikiLeaks”

President Donald Trump, when asked if he still"loves" WikiLeaks as he said in 2016, told reporters in the Oval Office that he knows"nothing about WikiLeaks."

"I know nothing about WikiLeaks. It's not my thing and I know there is something having to do with Julian Assange. I've been seeing what's happened with Assange," Trump told reporters while meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, referring to the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Assange was arrested Thursday morning in London after Ecuador revoked his diplomatic asylum claim.

Yes he keeps changing his story. Which is it?

Be patient, Fake News CNN. Be patient. It will ALL be revealed.

Some people said something

No surprise in his behavior.

That's typical of disgusting CNN. attack Trump, though innuendo and speculation. Lie about sources, try to associate with hyperbole and never stop attacking even if you lose all your viewers. Your goal is to stop trump at all costs! You're a horrible group of people!

liarliarpantsonfire

How do his disciples not see and understand that he's a liar? How do they not see and understand how much he has destroyed our country and our place in this world? I don't fucking get it.

Yes he knows nothing abt wikileaks..I know ...I don't know..who's biz?

Wonderful change.

Probably loved that they released some facts back in 2016, but did not know much about the company as most average Americans didn't. He probably hasn't paid attention to them since.

I love ice cream but no it's not really my thing, I just love it from time to time. How many other examples would you like at FAKE NEWS HYSTERIA MEDIA.

He’s good 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

He’s being honest . What facts do you have?

abisson161 TRUMP IS THE MAN, vote him in 2020 !

Liar. What a big surprise. NOT

Well let someone with intelligence explain this one to you guys. He loved that WikiLeaks exposed the truth. He doesn't know much about it, just that it exposed lies!! Do you understand? LOL!!

This is a pretty good one.

Yes, that is fine,no mystery there geniuses!! Liking something doesn’t mean you are an expert at it and this was when Hillary’s emails were released... but keep stirring the pot and finding plots at every corner

This is so humorous. Makes me love Trump all the more..

Pathological liar

JoMaas Alzheimer

Memory failing.

He’s playing with your little mind.

Why isnt Assange being charged with Russian collusion? Didnt the Democrats say the Russians were the source for Wikileaks? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It doesn't matter. He is free to say anything

Stupid analysis

Some day his gonna say I forgot my mother name

Dementia or just another lie?

Yawn....

FakeNews

CNN in 2016- the president elect is a Russian spy CNN in 2019- forget about the collusion debacle, the president likes wiki leaks FakeNews LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Xavi_the_guru Hahaha koomerik your genius.

'2 Rattlesnakes'

dems better hope ol julian doesn't tell anyone where the dnc emails came from

How are these statements mutually exclusive? Both can be true depending on the circumstances of the day.

And he calls you the fake news

Did his cultists say he had a brainfart? he forgot what he said? ohhh Trump can do no wrong. Everyone else is to blame...

Trump is out-Alinskying you and the Democrats. From “Rules for Radicals”.... “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.' MAGA!!!

And of course he knows. The indictment was issued in March 2016, the last administration did not act upon it. Trump knows this is a complete game changer and waited until after the Mueller report was finished. Got Popcorn?

CNN, Liars!

Trump .... that's the face of someone who knows he lied

It’s called the “democratic shift.”

yawn

CNN in 2016: Trump has no chance to beat Hillary... Wrong! CNN from 2016-2019: Trump colluded with Russia and may be a Russian agent... Wrong! FakeNewsCNN

This is a man who thinks he is an expert in science because his uncle was a scientist willingly admitting for the first time ever that he knows nothing about something lol

The storm is coming. buckleupbuttercup JulianAssange WikiLeaks TheStorm ObamaSpyGate CrookedHillary DeepState GreatAwakening Trump2020Landslide TrumpTrain2020

Lmao

He is dement

Trump in 2020 - If re-elected Julian Assange will be my new Communications Director.

HMV (Human Masters Voice) Telling us how to feel, who and when to be mad or mad at. when to scream, who to yell at, and what to hate, who to hate. Even telling us how we should react to what they repeat. It works click link

Another lie. What a surprise.

And there it is, he just played you again lol

A man who has defeated truth!

what? you expected the truteh? silly you.

1 - trump is a liar 2 - trump playing with open cards and saying i am a liar what you gonna do about it; he is been cut loose from russia investigation; this lie can't be worse 3 - trump sarcastic ... very unlikely

Hahahahahhah

Doesn't mater as usual

Can u guys just show the two videos without putting ur input into it? We already know every sentence trump speaks is a lie.

I always Loved reading the New York Times! ..... Now I don’t know a damn thing about it!

We All Loved Hidden Emails Exposing Hillary Clinton!! What’s Not To Love!

i love wikileaks. i dare you to seat a jury with ine solid Trump supporter on it. see if you can convict.

Spin it! We all loved Wikileaks because they shared truths unlike FakeNews and yet, we nothing about Wiki. Curious...

Oh I just realized this is the chick who like to tell the black peoples on the show thanks for rolling up in here.. lmao. She gangsta.. oh and she cry’s... a lot. So unprofessional. Be one thing if she was hot.. but she doesn’t even have that goin for her.. sigh

CNN’s desperation is at all an all-time high

Mentally incompetent? Pathological liar? Side show carney man? Sociopath? Would be tyrant? Temper Tantrum / emotionally unstable? Totally insecure? Needs to be flattered 24/7 by groupie and staff appointments to massage his ego? Mega Bully? Who is Donald Trump & why?

Democrats under Obama: Let’s fund the wall. Illegal Immigration is a problem. Democrats under Trump: Illegal immigration isn’t a problem and anyone that thinks differently is a nazi

Fake news alert.

Boring boring

Hard to keep those lies straight, eh trumpty dumpty?

You are stupid people. Of course he knows who they are. He is just saying he is not involved in what has transpired recently. You are so desperate for viewers you twist anything to fit your narrative. sucks!

AnotherTrumpTravesty

THANK YOU JIM JORDAN FOR YOUR QUOTE 'LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE'. all we need now is a person following comrade trump around ringing a bell calling out SHAME SHAME SHAME!

CNN is a 🤡

The President knows nothing about Wikileaks, just as he knows nothing about the Fed's work - economics!

Oh Geeze here we go with another FakeNews conspiracy theory.

It’s called virtual irreality!

Still can’t believe this idiot is the President.

I love how propaganda media takes one thing out of a thousand things that just randomly come out of Trump's mouth and think it's worth quoting him on. Get a grip. Everyone changes their minds in politics. Try looking at a dem? They are master floppers.

THEN SAY THIS ON THE GROUND!! Stop hiding in your studios. Call him out on his bullshit.

Sort of like Pelosi age does it to you but I bet is was all planned to watch you guys jump like dogs. Sly as a fox gets you guys all lathered again.

CNN in 2016: Sanctuary cities are compassionate and legal CNN in 2019: We don't want those people here!

Selective memory

Fake news

When he looses in 2020: Collusion!!

This is dishonest. All Republicans loved Wikileaks when they were pissing off the Democrats in 2016. Now, we don't care either. So what?

Trump lies because he thinks everyone is stupid. Well I say he's half right...

He loved Wikileaks for exposing the dirt on the Dems and Hillary.

Is it a lie or is it dementia?

😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

He can love it because of emails and not know anything about mechanics behind it at the same time CNN

I’ve seen this same tweet multiple times now. Yes, Trump says dumb stuff. You caught him again 👏🏻👏🏻. Me personally, I was “loving” wiki when the HRC and DNC emails were being released. They were so enlightening. But I don’t know a lot about Wiki either. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Liar in chief.

He said he didn't know about Julian or what Wikileaks actually did. The election he loved what Wikileaks exposed to the world that's it.

It is realistic that both statements are true! Oh wait that is not what CNN is about. Ratings tanking. So who cares what you have to say

Such a dishonest entity CrapNewsNetwork taking POTUS quote out of context

Why would this behavior by Trump be surprising? He's a chronic liar.

We all understand that hates President Trump, but is protesting so much because they were complicit in the Russia, Russia, Russia Spygate hoax? What did know about President Obama’s part in Spygate and when did they know it?

Ignorance of history seems to abound at CNN. Very common to say “the enemy of my enemy...” while not knowing the details. But let’s not confuse anti-Trumpers.

TrumpLies TrumpLies TrumpisTheBiggestLiar

Russia , Russia , Putin ? The walls are closing in? It is the beginning of the end ? It is Mueller time ! Avenatti! Stormy !

Russia collusion ? Orange man bad Impeach the MF? You guys are really boring.

Lie, deny, and obfuscate. Remember this is also the same man who thinks the noise from windmills cause cancer...

Ha ha..

2016 CNN: Muellers gonna put Trump in jail. 2019 CNN: Screw Mueller 😒

continually contradicts himself-senile-unfit for office.

What about Michael Avenatti. .? CNN last year: We love Michael Avenatti CNN Today: 'crickets '

The man speaks out of both sides of his mouth 👄

Both of these could be true, as I am sure he has vast memory lapses.

Man is a born liar.

I thought he had a love fest with Assange

They are about different aspects, don’t you get it?

Cnn....u don't get to pick the President of the USA. U are a liberal fake news outlet that bombed out hard in 2016 Haha. Maybe ur name means Canadian News Network...there's lots of liberals up there who are dumb enough to believe u haha.

He needs to explain every joke,statement,opinion that he said so the lack of brain media gets what he is talking about. You guys are like going to a bad Dr. with a serious disease.

Could be more evidence for the dementia angle

US people should locate a leak called Trump.

You guys at CNN GO BACK AND FORTH AS WELL. Now because the Muller investigation did go the CNN way, you guys started with Wikileaks. Give us brake CNN

Please do not mock the elderly with dementia!

Dementia everybody

Oh come on. He just quoted them

In all fairness, Trump knows very little about anything, so....

Trolling

😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

He get tested, it can be a medical issue

Let it go let it go Hillary lost Trump win

accurate wird for word... but taken out of context.. of course he loved when wikileaks blew open the dnc.. doesnt mean he studied up on everything about therm.. cmon cnn.. stop being petty cnn fakenews

Omg 🤡🙈🙉🙊

So disenguous but that’s what you do so well. He was obviously cheering them on publicly as they released Democrat emails showing exactly the kind of people they were. Obviously said sarcastically in jest. You guys & gals are as much responsible for our division as anyone!!!

Shouldn't be the greatest defender of wikileaks?

Stating the obvious Trump's lying... JA and DT are pen pals, to quote Trump, 'I love WikiLeaks'.

Nice try at twisting and out of context. It’s your specialty at CNN =FAKE NEWS.

It’s really SAD, y’all just can’t SEE how PATHETIC you are🤷‍♀️ FAKENEWS

To clarify. One loves wikileaks because of exposure of government. When in government we know nothing that hasn't been exposed yet.

He is doing the CNN trick. Collusion, Collusion, Collusion, ...

🤦🏻‍♂️

immichaelmoore

And this is news?

Cnn is sweating...when all this comes out they know they were the useful idiots. Used by Brenan, Comey and Clapper to spread fake propaganda.

rather than running this please focus on items that directly impact the voting Citizens of our country. Pick a topic like homelessness or Veterans issues, or Child abuse for example & focus on cause, and solutions. Pick one & stick to it for 24 hours. BET you can’t.

Really...this is not news ,it's petiness

So what?

I guess nothing is to petty for liberal media to portray as “news”. I want to know how much toilet paper Trump used the last time he took a CNN.

CNN is aiming low

You guys need to ask him, how did you love them in 2016 and show him the video of himself incase he forgot.

KenyanTraffic Is that breaking news?

Wow awesome news he loves them then he doesn’t. Great job cnn. Now let’s do the lies all politicians have done for all their years in office and haven’t done anything for their constituents

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

CNN in 2016: fake news. CNN in 2019: Fake news

How’s your 2020 candidate avenatti making out ?

You guys hang on every mistake Trump makes and ignore all the incredible things he is doing for the country. Do you even think about how people who have finally gotten good jobs feel?

How’s the lawsuit with Convington High School going ?

Oh,”Your Thing” Is All Up In WikiLeaks! 😜😜😜👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It's the ssdd. 'I know nothing about Russia.' He knows them until they get caught.

I can do that too ;) Democrats in 2016: 'Trump is colluding with the Russians!!!!' Democrats in 2019: 'Trump is doing SOMETHING!!!! lets continue to investigate him! Just wait until the next Democrat President, I hope Republicans do the same thing to them!

What, another lie? Is anyone surprised

Trying to distract people away from the fall of the global elites

Democreetons don't know which way to go, you may want to ask AOC what to do

Fortuoin the USA you can love something and have nothing to do with it. ie I love the Yankees

I just wonder why am still following a deluded on Twitter! I guess u still could talk coz d government has not charged for treason for ur role in 'RUSSIAN collusion claim'. Now dis? Is dis ur best shot at realDonaldTrump ? Shits!

I love WikiLeaks, I love what Wikileaks does, but doesn't mean I know how WikiLeaks works.

So .

Trump probably knows Wikileaks as much as you and I know wikileaks. The difference is that the question was trying to imply that he has direct links to them. Of course he knows who they are.

if you want to lie you should have a good memory

Hahahahahaha Same here! I love chocolate but know nothing about it.

Yawn

What a liar!

CNN is fake news

You CNN are playing a very low cards . It's obvious what he meant when he said it then and now. So stupid.

It's not my thing! 🤣 fakenews itsnotmything

If you don't know you can't spot it.. Now you know

Let's each and everyone of us give Donald the benefit of the doubt and suggest that when he was loving Wikileaks that he was confusing them with golden showers.

Now investigate why Assange got dirt on Clinton. Cause he wanted to - think not. Cause tramp sons contacted him? More like it!

More proof (as if we need it) that Trump is such a liar!!

Selective memory the measles of politicians

Julian Assange is like Marla Maples to Trump

regardless of what the president is or is not saying about assange and chelsea manning they were very important in the last election all the same and did a lot for the american people by exposing government corruption.

Hey CNN. How did that Russian collusion thing work out?

Trump supporters: 'I love Trump because he says what he means, means what he says, and tells it like it is.' I will NEVER understand how Trumpers can convince themselves that Trump is an honest and credible messenger.

This is a man that says one thing one day and something else and next day and his followers are ignorant enough to believe and suck it all up you been a fake from the beginning he didn't make any money his dad gave him millions of dollars and he went bankrupt.

Mueller report. Tic Toc... KAG

Assange was arrested and trump becames the president. Why isn't trip being arrested?

I know nothing!

CNN from 2016 to 2019 - 'Collusion, we love collusion!' CNN today - 'We never said anything about collusion. That was those other networks' FakeNewsCNN EnemyOfThePeople

CNN Last 5 years: 'We worship Michael Avenatti and he should run for president' CNN Last 2 Months: 'Michael Avenatti is a lying cheat criminal lawyer who should be in jail'

He could have just ended his sentence with I know nothing....

He says what ever suits Him at the time

That's a really really stupid argument. He made a comment about loving Wikileaks cuz they were bashing your lily-white Hillary. Trump got into that because she is a moron. But that doesn't mean he knows a damn thing about Wikileaks.

Lib trigger number 10,463

Trx1000 Well if tRumps lips are moving he’s lying 🤥!!!

What a liar

The problem about not being consistent and true is that, when you meet someone some time later, you have to try to remember who you were pretending to be last time you met them

Candidate Trump praising negative press for Clinton. President Trump bringing Julian Assange to justice. Just say'n.

Trump is in the deepest paranoia, he creates his own universe consisting of lies and inconsistencies ... the most terrible being that a number of people still trust him ... they probably suffer from the same pathology that Trump

CNN & Democrats in 2017, 2018, 2019: “Trump colluded with Russia” Mueller, House, Senate Investigations: “Absolutely no collusion” CNN & Democrats After Investigations: Trump colluded with Russia

President Loved wikii b cuz of bad press for Clinton at the time. I know nothing of wikii either. Propaganda cnn is public enemy 1.

Democrats in 2016: You have to accept the results of the election. Democrats in 2019: We don’t accept the results of the 2016 election.

Another kind of liar? Just as same as our county's president.

president of the United States is liar, isn't he?

Groundbreaking report this morning CNN.

Why can't these statements be read as something like, I love Wikileaks [this entity that keeps appearing in the news & is releasing all this damaging stuff] and I know nothing about [the internal workings or possible foreign connections of] Wikileaks. Why so obtuse?

Profound. A master class of investigative journalism.

itsjustkatie_ok Lol I can't with this clown 🤦🏾‍♀️😂

Voters in 2016: We love Trump. Voters in 2020: Trump’s not my thing.

yea........pee in our face all you want with lies......we know it's not rain!.

哈哈

Flexible minds or simply lies

Flip flop, Flip flop

Are they same person

Man!!!! America have the president that nobody will understand ever, and seems like they love it.

2017, 2018, 2019 CNN: “Trump colluded with Russia”. 2019, no collusion

Also Trump in 2016: I’m the law and order candidate 2019: Breaks laws non stop.

The general meaning of politics is this.

Well, Trump won't do well in solitary

But when real journalists are murdered in Russia, WikiLeaks and its fans are silent.

Liberals last month: we love sanctuary cities and 'migrants' Liberals this month: keep 'migrants' out of our sanctuary cities!!'

You know CNN you are not telling us anything we don’t know. But your bias WILL get him re-elected

He is not consistent

Only the full Mueller Report will clean the waters and give all the answers.

is realDonaldTrump now a Nigerian politician?

Are you suggesting that he knew anything about it when he said he loved it on the campaign trail? All he knew was that they were leaking stuff that was damaging to Hillary's campaign.

CNN in 2016: We hate Trump but we don't know why. CNN in 2019: We hate Trump because He knows nothing about wikileaks.

CNN in 2016: Acting as Democrat Party Super PAC CNN in 2019: Continues to act as Democrat Party Super PAC

Maybe Trump is thinking of career in Journalism after his 2nd term.

Trump in 2016: Elect me and I will tear down failed liberal ideals everyday. Trump 2019: The only President, ever, to start dismantling decades of stupid, liberal, asinine agendas.

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

For Halloween, Trump will be a Democrat politician SCARY!!!

Listen all sides played this game get over it

Let's be honest here. If you out up a sound bites or quote from every politician who contradicted themselves you'd break Twitter. Who cares. At least on this issue.

So whats the problem in unknowing love yo

Worst president in US history realDonaldTrump is the impitamy of incompetence. Stinks of corrupt elitism.

Trump lies like most people drink water and America has loved it that way.

Now we will find out who really leak the emails inside the DNC to Wikileaks

CNN in 2016: Fake News CNN in 2019: Fake News

His mental condition has declined that much in three years?!?!

Yes, I'd noted the sudden, convenient amnesia.

5 times Trump praised WikiLeaks during his 2016 election campaignAfter Assange was arrested and indicted on Thursday, Trump in the Oval Office said, 'I know nothing about WikiLeaks. It's not my thing.' But the president has repeatedly mentioned WikiLeaks in public, often expressing affinity for the organization. Trump mentioned stolen emails published by WikiLeaks at least 164 times in Oct. 2016 Coward. I can easily write Trumps script.
