you can't be this obtuse?
does NOT equate to "Trump believes Putin more then his INTEL" -it says Trump believes Putin "really means it"And I believe, I really believe, that when he tells me that, he means it."
Here is the importance (context) of Brennan and Clapper & Comey being known liars:
Trump is looking at realpolitikHe then called former FBI Director James Comey, former CIA director John Brennan, and former Director of Intelligence James Clapper "political hacks."
"I mean, give me a break, they are political hacks," Trump said, when asked about their assessment that Russia had interfered.
"So you look at it, I mean, you have Brennan, you have Clapper and you have Comey. Comey is proven now to be a liar and he is proven now to be a leaker. So you look at that and you have President Putin very strongly, vehemently says he had nothing to do with them."
The president added that he "would rather" find solutions to the wars in Syria and Ukraine than discuss Russian meddling.
"That whole thing was set up by the Democrats," he said.

here's my fav though: the mysterious "Russian cutout"
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...sia-relay-dnc/
Government agencies and private security researchers have attributed the actual breaches to Russian hackers, but the identity of the conduit who gave the data to WikiLeaks remains a mystery.
“In April, Russia used a third party ‘cut-out’ to send more than 19,000 DNC emails and more than 8,000 documents to WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, attempting to cover its tracks and to give WikiLeaks some degree of deniability in knowing the source of the leaks,” Mr. Clapper wrote in his book, “Facts and Fears: Hard Truths from a Life in Intelligence.”
“The real point was it was an attempt to ensure [Assange] plausible deniability,” he said during the podcast.
Responding on Twitter to the claims, the official WikiLeaks account tweeted that Mr. Clapper’s book contained errors about the website’s releases.
“Clapper gets literally everything wrong—but admits he doesn’t know who our sources are. The published DNC emails go through to May 25—making ‘April’ an impossibility. There are 44,053 emails, not 19,000. There are 17,761 documents, not 8,000. Clapper appears not to be credible,” WikiLeaks tweeted Friday.
The Department of Justice appointed Mr. Mueller last May to investigate Russia’s involvement in the 2016 race and any links between Moscow and Mr. Trump’s election campaign. The special counsel’s office has since filed charges against 20 individuals, including 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies accused of waging “information warfare against the United States” as part of a state-sponsored campaign targeting the 2016 election and Mr. Trump’s Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.
Russia has denied hacking Democratic targets, and the White House has denied collusion between the Trump team and Moscow.
Mr. Assange previously said that the Russian government was not the source of the leaked emails.

This is what Trump said Nov 14, 2017:
"Every time he sees me, he says, 'I didn't do that.' And I believe, I really believe, that when he tells me that, he means it."

Trump seems to be saying that if there was Russian interference, Putin didn't know about it.
And if he believes that, he'll believe anything.
Added:
Reading the pro-Trump posters here, the bottom line seems to be that they maintain there was no Russian state interference of any kind in the 2016 election.
Is that correct?

not what he was saying, but I've already answered that.

Everyone acknowledges the Internet Research Agency, and the troll farms. Where it gets dicey is the DNC
My personal opinion is none of this would have amounted to a hill of beans
( we basically got Yelstsin elected, and 2016 was a billion+ election) -except for the Mooks/Podesta meeting a couple days after the election.
That was the public gin up, along with the FBI counterintelligence investigation.
We pretty much know that was bogus as well as -according to Nunes the FBI 302 didn't show probable cause.
However. Even if I am 100% wrong on all this; it was always a silly specious concept to think there was any Russian collusion between the Trump campaign and da Russian to rig the election.
There is no plausible scenario where Putin and Trump would conspire to rig the election.
and that's all that really matters, not this penny ante junk
