Trump Clarifies He Didnt Say Meghan Markle Was Nasty: I Said She Was Nasty About MeBy Colby HallJun 5th, 2019, 6:33 am
President Donald Trump sat with Good Morning Britan host Piers Morgan for a lengthy and wide-ranging interview which was broadcast in the UK Wednesday morning. The very amicable interview avoided many controversial topics, but Morgan did challenge Trump on his denial of calling Dutchess of Sussex Meghan Markle nasty.
During a tape-recorded interview with London tabloid The Sun, President Trump said of Markles anti-Trump remarks from the 2016 general election I didnt know she was nasty, comments he ostensibly denied saying though the audio was released that revealed that specific comment.
I wasnt referring to her shes nasty, I said she was nasty about me, and essentially I didnt know she was nasty about me, but then followed with I hope shes doing a good job and enjoys her life.
He followed by saying that he didnt know Ms. Markle, but went on to say that this episode just shows how terrible the news media is. Trump then revealed that he spoke with Markles husband Prince Harry during his visit with the Royal Family but the dust-up over this comment never came up.

And that doesn't make her nasty?

In his actual quote
Not that it would make a difference
But he lies

(90,785 posts)6. He said "I didn't know she was nasty". Had he said I didn't know she was being nasty (about me)
that would be one thing - but that's not what he said.
He said, "I didn't know she was nasty" - used in the exact same manner he has used the word to attack other women.
By calling them nasty women.
I've told my friends to stop being nasty - being nasty - which is saying they are currently saying or doing something nasty - not that they are nasty people.
If I were to call one of them a nasty person (You're nasty, She's nasty), that's an entirely different connotation and meaning.
