Do you know the difference between the words "would" and "wouldn't?" No? That's okay! You can still be president!

On Tuesday afternoon, Donald Trump attempted to clean up the monumental mess he caused during his joint press conference with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland, by reading prepared statement in the White House.

"The sentence should have been, 'I don't see any reason why it wouldn'tbe Russia" so, just to repeat it, I said the word 'would' instead of 'wouldn't'... sort of a double negative," he continued. So was it just a Freudian slip, then?

After this absurd, super illogical, seemingly untruthful explanation for why Trump supported Russia and said there was no collusion, Twitter users called his bluff and furiously trolled him with grammar jokes.

Let's just say Americans aren't convinced Trump isn'tstill team Russia.
