    Hey guys, this one’s… borderline. The idea that Trump never said that is silly enough that I’m going to allow this post to stay, but its onion-y flavor is pretty weak.

      There’s a whole movie using the same rhythm ‘dont look up’ that, I assume, it was modeled after. I’m sure his narcissism is clutching for some control these days and it’s driving him mad.

    Trump does little else but lie. If he said the sun comes up in the east I would have to verify.

    Ugh. Here we go:

    That didn't happen.  <-- We are here
    And if it did, it wasn't that bad. 
    And if it was, that's not a big deal. 
    And if it is, that's not my fault. 
    And if it was, I didn't mean it. 
    And if I did... You deserved it.

      I mean…he can cycle through those stages as fast or as short as he wants. I’m more interested in a different cycle.

      Trump prepares for an election one year away.

      Trump is not a criminal.

      Trump goes on trial.

      Trump farts in his sleep.

      Trump IS a criminal.

      Trump is locked up.

      Maybe someone in jail pokes him in the eyes, or kicks him in the balls.

      THATS the series of events I’M here to see. And you know CNN would somehow get access to the video footage of trump in jail. Especially if something funny happens.

    I want to know why mainstream media keeps referencing what he said during his 2020 campaign. His 2016 campaign was way more insidious and is actually related to the election interference conviction.

      This is referencing his 2016 campaign? And last two times he ran for president it lead to violence so it all matters a lot. Maybe I’m reading your post all wrong

    This is a new tier of cognitive dissonance, even for Trump. I mean he literally got crowds chanting “lock her up!” Hopefully this is the icing on the cake of his felony convictions and gets a few more people to break out of the cult.

      Dude, he lied about the weather and the size of the crowd on his inauguration day. He fundamentally doesn’t care about the truth. He doesn’t hate it or anything, it’s just that the truth isn’t important to him unless denying it would get him in immediate trouble.

        I know he’s a liar. But lying about those things can’t resonate with his supporters the way this could. This was almost a core campaign slogan, it’s a downright meme. A denial that he supported it ought to be a much more obvious lie than the others

          This also makes him look weak, since many still believe she belongs in jail, which is a cardinal sin in the GOP.

      I’m seeing a trendy way of doing the headline:

      “Trump claims he never said lock her up. He did. Several times.”

      Or some variation.

      "All the times Trump said “Lock her up”

      “Trump said “Lock her up”, now claims he never did”

        What I would like is for them to show him the evidence and then see what he says.

      Lying requires intent to deceive. Honestly, at this point, I can’t be sure trump has any grip on reality so might actually believe that he never said it.

      Falsely claims accurately depicts what happened without assuming intent. It’s a way to cover their butt.
