June 5, 2019 at 10:53 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Washington Post: Instead of recognizing the publics expressions of anger, which included a 20-foot-tall, diaper-clad Trump baby blimp flying above Parliament Square, the 45th president has adopted a different tactic denial.
Said Trump: I heard there were protests. I said, Where are the protests? I dont see any protests. I did see a small protest today when I came very small. So a lot of it is fake news, I hate to say.
Trumps efforts to minimize opposition to his presidency on the first stop of a week-long tour of three European nations represented his latest attempt to misrepresent his public standing and rewrite perceptions about the popularity of his agenda.

Nah. He's straight up lying. He's making other people's denial easier for them.

He can pretend all he wants that the hatred doesn't get to him, but we know it does

He knows about the protests - he lies about it. By lying about them, his supporters can now feel good in their denial.
