two more blatant trump lies....mexico and the boy scouts called him with praise.

both entities deny this.

what a sad, pathetic man

Boy Scouts and Mexico both deny claims of calling Trump to offer praise

Trump claimed on Monday: “The president of Mexico called me. They said their southern border … very few people are coming because they know they’re not going to get through our border, which is the ultimate compliment.”

Asked about the alleged call, Mexico’s foreign relations department said Peña Nieto “has not had any recent telephone communication with President Donald Trump”.

Days earlier, in the WSJ interview, Trump said his speech to the Boy Scouts in Virginia – partisan, disjointed and often rambling – had been praised by the organization.

“I got a call from the head of the Boy Scouts saying it was the greatest speech that was ever made to them, and they were very thankful,” Trump said.

The Boy Scouts told the Associated Press on Wednesday: “We are unaware of any such call.”

He took all the chairs in the outer office and locked himself in with them. I set up an intervention that day. His older brother was a real shit about it.

can you believe this continues?
To have the balls to go out and lie to the masses in the United States of America, and be doing so by what is supposed to be the Chief Executive?
When, oh when, will this stop? I'm so worn down I'm willing to accept Pence now (NEVER thought I'd say that!).

That would have been used against Nixon had it gone that far was lying to the American people. tRump has lied to us so many times, I've lost count. And each of them are on video! So if that rat bastard 🐀 tries to deny he spoke lies, we can just cut to the video tape. 😂😂😂😂
