The questions asked contained words like "denounce" and "warn". It's like the libtards WANT WAR!???
Trump's point in this whole press conference is that he won the election fairly, without colluding with a foreign power. That's the only allegation he cares about. If the media wants to start a hubbub about hackers stealing Podesta's emails....fuck them. Trump probably cares, but he isn't gonna throw a tantrum about it in a press conference.
The PROPER diplomatic response is to say "That was unfortunate, we have our people working on it to make sure it never happens again, and we're looking forward to more friendly relations under this new administration". That's it. Whatever preventative or retaliatory measures are taken would be a clandestine counter-intelligence operation that you would/should never hear about.
And as far as Trump saying stuff along the lines of "both sides are to blame"....again, what do you expect? Do you want him to get up there and say "Fuck Russia, they're ass holes, we're the good guys, we don't meddle in foreign governments, we never try to rig elections in other countries, we mind our own business, and all the facebook stories made by Americans are real"
Honestly, the guy can't win. If he did go out there in rampage-mode, they'd be calling him a war monger, comparing him to Dick Cheney, and demanding to know how much Halliburton stock he owns.
All I saw in that press conference was
1) Trump saying that frosty relations with Russia is something he inherited. When he says "America shares some of the blame", he's talking about Obama
2) Trump feels quite strongly, and enjoys stating emphatically, that he won the election fair and square
3) A better relationship with Russia would not be a terrible thing.
