Proving Trump hears what he WANTS to hear

"President Donald Trump on Wednesday claimed that a top Democrat and vocal critic of his presidency told him that he would be “one of the great presidents in the history of our country.”

In one of several specious claims from his interview with The New York Times, Trump told reporter Maggie Haberman that Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) lavished the praise on him during a meeting last month."

When asked if Rep. Cummings did say that, the Congressman said Trump left out a big "IF" in the quote.


"During my meeting with the president and on several occasions since then, I have said repeatedly that he could be a great president if … if … he takes steps to truly represent all Americans rather than continuing on the divisive and harmful path he is currently on,” Cummings said in a statement Thursday."
