President Donald Trump was incorrect when he said that Russia will accept European peacekeeping troops in Ukraine, the Kremlin signaled Tuesday.

While Trump said Monday during a White House meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron that he had "specifically asked" Russian President Vladimir Putin about peacekeepers and that Putin "has no problem with it," the Kremlin contradicted those comments early Tuesday.

When asked about Trump's remarks in a media call, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that "the Russian foreign minister has already said everything about it, I've got nothing to add."

Peskov was referring to comments Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov made last week in a news conference following talks in Saudi Arabia with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Lavrov said that “the deployment of troops ... [from] NATO countries, but under a foreign flag, under the flag of the European Union or under national flags ... is, of course, unacceptable to us.”

1. When even Russia calls him out for lying, it's pretty freaking pathetic. The orange turd is the worst!

2. Instead of asking Trump what he will accept and do, why not just as Putin? We know Trump is too stupid to remember

or understand what Putin told him to say.

4. He lies about everything and laughs behind our backs at the fools that follow and fluff him.

He hates every single one of us who isn't fluffing him or giving him money at that moment and then he only doesn't hate them for that moment only. He's all about increasing his own wealth and he does that by stealing from us - all the lies are just to punk and confuse us plus there is his bragging included to try to pretend tht others' love him when he is actually one of the most hated people in the whole fucking world!!!
