Trump adviser: 'He should stop saying things that are untrue'

Stephen Moore, an economic adviser to President Trump, said that he thinks that the president "should stop saying things that are untrue."

"I think when Trump says things that are false, that does undermine his presidential authority and I wish he wouldn't do it," Moore told host Mehdi Hasan on Al Jazeera's "Head to Head." "He should stop saying things that are untrue."

Hasan then pressed Moore, asking him "So he's a liar?" Moore seemed to balk, admitting that Trump is "an exaggerator" and that he believes "it gets him in trouble," but saying he wouldn't call him a liar.

Hasan continued to press Moore, asking him whether Trump's assertions his father was born in Germany (Trump’s father was born in the Bronx, NYC) and his wife got along well with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un (they never met) were exaggerations or lies.
