Did he just quote himself (reading his speechwriter's handwork) ?
Isn't that plagiarism?
Donald Trump addressing his campaign rally 11 hours after the Pittsburg synagogue massacre.
"With what happened early today, that horrible, horrible attack in Pittsburgh, I was saying maybe I should cancel both this and that. And then I said to myself, I remembered Dick Russell, a friend of mine, great guy, he headed up the New York Stock Exchange on September 11th, and the New York Stock Exchange was open the following day,” Trump said during a campaign rally in Illinois. “He said—and what they had to do to open it you wouldn’t believe, we won’t even talk to you about it. But he got that exchange open. We can’t make these sick, demented, evil people important.”
What was wrong with this statement ?
How does Donald Trump get away with it ? He opens a campaign rally to gee up the faithful with a fabrication about the New York Stock exchange opening the day after 9/11.
It’s a lie that a slow 9 year old can prove. It’s a lie that has provoked no response from his cabinet, the Republician party or the Fox led conservative press that abdicated any journalistic integrity regarding the Liar in Chief.
This lie could be a monumental piece of ignorance or a coolly deliberate effort by the President to prove that Donald Trump can say whatever he xucking likes and no one (except the lying Liberal media) will challenge his statements. Either way he is unfit to be President.
But in the end he is only there because the circus around him refuses to put him back in his cage. And also because the galley of swooning supporters still eat his merde with pinched noses or wild enthusiasm.
I like Anns comment about the “sadness” of how Donald Trump has managed to make a tit of himself over a lifetime. But the reality is when he is allowed to get away with such clear lying self serving rubbish there are no boundaries left in the public sphere to shame him out of office.
In the days of the Roman Empire Caligula ruled through fear and even appointed his horse as a Senator – and got away with it. The US has a horses xrse as President and still manages to get millions to kiss him or give him the thumbs up.
I think it’s insane.
Whether you like President Trump or not you have to agree his communication skills are quite unique.
Skate.
TDS is quite interesting.
If Trump genuinely tells as many incredible, evil, heinous lies as folks like you are making out, why are you forced to focus on small ones and exaggerate them out of all proportion?
You're literally focussing on one bit of misinformation which was obviously a mistake (I don't support or condone it by the way, but it was a clearly unintentional mistake of virtually no consequence, and his opponents routinely tell significant deliberate lies) and acting like it's some sort of incredible act, which you wouldn't be doing if there actually were all the many real examples you claim.
Whether or not the stock exchange opened on a particular day over 15 years ago is not important. Yes, he got it wrong, no, it's not a bit deal whether or not it opened on that day, yes, it is true that he shouldn't have spoken like that without being sure, no, it clearly wasn't a deliberate lie. If it was deliberate he would know people would pick it up and it would go against him. He didn't have anything much to gain from it and it was guaranteed to be picked up, unlikely a genuine lie which he would believe was unlikely to be picked up and would give him significant gain.
If you're using this example with such enthusiasm, you clearly don't have better alternatives, which means you're pushing a false narrative (which you presumably actually believed after it was pushed on you by the mainstream media and woolly masses). This is not an email scandal or Benghazi level incident, or anything as bad as what you'll see literally every few minutes on CNN.
