"We said nothing. All we did was quote a certain, very talented legal
mind who was the one responsible for saying that on television," Trump
responded. "I didn't make an opinion on it. That was a statement made by
a very talented lawyer on Fox. And so you shouldn't be talking to me.
You should be talking to Fox. Okay?"

(18,641 posts)He can declare any ridiculous nonsense from Fox as real and actionable but when it's revealed to be fallacious he just turns around and blames them.
Some guy arguing politics in a bar can do this.
It's stupid for him as well but at least the only consequence is him looking like an idiotic ass.
But for the president to do this, openly, in public, without shame or apology is... hell ... there's no word for it.
He has the most complete, professional information in the entire world about almost any topic at his fingertips but he puts Fox News entertainment propaganda above them all as his most trusted source.
Really, the stupidity can not be conceived.
