Trump told a Sir story about a Chicago cop who told Trump he could solve the city's crime issues....

Trump told a Sir story about a Chicago cop who told Trump he could solve the city's crime issues in "sir, one day."

The Chicago Tribune notes Trump's original version had the guy saying it'd take "a week." A subsequent version had him saying "two days."

It'll be that just his mere glance at the city while flying over in Airforce Ome caused crime to vanish entirely. Trump is a lousy bullshit artist.

It's been 3 years, he's done nothing about the problem he bellowed about during the '16 election campaign.

When Trump accepted the GOP nomination:

"I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end," he said. "Beginning on January 20th, 2017, safety will be restored."

events.

You can tell he thought he was Bruce Wayne, when he was giving his inauguration speech. Though he knew he was pulling more crimes than Joker and Penguin combined, at the time.

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump told a dramatic story on Twitter last month.

Explaining how he decided to cancel a possible attack on Iran, he wrote, "We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights when I asked, how many will die. 150 people, sir, was the answer from a General. 10 minutes before the strike I stopped it..."

This was all so Hollywood that I would have been skeptical regardless of Trump's choice of words. Because he included one particular word, though, I was almost certain the story was inaccurate in some way.

I've fact-checked every word Trump has uttered since his inauguration. I can tell you that if this President relays an anecdote in which he has someone referring to him as "sir," then some major component of the anecdote is very likely to be wrong.

He has to make it better since Obama's spread as Most Admired Man is getting bigger.
