“A general, who’s a fantastic general, actually said to me, ‘Sir, I’ve been on the battlefield. Men have gone down on my left and on my right. I stood on hills where soldiers were killed. But I believe the bravest thing I’ve ever seen was the night you went on to that stage with Hillary Clinton, after what happened. And then that woman asked you the first question about it.’ And I said, locker room talk! It’s locker talk! What the hell?! Locker room talk!” – Trump, with yet another fake “Sir” story, last night at the New York Young Republicans Club gala. And it was Anderson Cooper who asked him about the pussy tape that night, not a woman.

So, trump has a tell. Whenever he quotes somebody saying something to him and it starts with the word “sir” addressing him, he’s lying. He has made up the quote. This has been well documented.

All that this tells me is that trump would make a horrible poker player. Tell has been documented, discussed in the media, and he still won’t change it. Successful businessman indeed

      He has an even more obvious tell, which is that he’s lying whenever his lips are moving.

        Not quite true. He sometimes stumbles onto a truth here and there, in his word salads. He seems to be getting better at avoiding them, however.

        E.g. he agreed he wanted to be a dictator.

          Also like the time after he won the election and his trumpets were chanting “lock her up” and he said something like “nah, I just said that because it sounded good”

      Never noticed that, lol. There should be a subreddit/community for all his fake-ass stories. I don’t think they’d be able to handle the sheer volume of them on a going basis

        It’s had a name for several years… Sir Stories. A big, strong man comes up to him, tears streaming down his eyes. “Sir! I can’t believe how strong you are with these Democrats. They treat you so unfairly! But you keep fighting for us, the real Americans!”

        There’s even an archive of them. Over 450 and counting.

              k, someone should sell this in such away that neither Trump nor anyone in his network sees any material gain (except further laughingstockery) and the publishers gain much to his chagrin

              Have at it shooter ;)
