Trump Walks Back Hacking Comments Which Almost Makes It Worse

Donald Trump went on Fox & Friends this morning and claimed that he was being sarcastic when he said that Russia or some other foreign power should hack into Hillary Clinton's email. I didn't see one report from the press conference yesterday that indicated any reporter there believed he was being sarcastic. They certainly ran with the story as though he was being entirely serious. Of course, he's probably lying this morning about his intentions. But even if he was being entirely sarcastic, I don't think it should make anyone comfortable that the potential leader of the free world leaves the wrong impression about what he was saying. The world is too dangerous a place not to be absolutely clear about the intent of your words. Saying "just kidding!" is not an option.
