By his own words, Trump tried to sell weapons to terrorists.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-takes-credit-for-qatar-diplomatic-crisis

“During my recent trip to the Middle East I stated that there can no longer be funding of Radical Ideology,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Leaders pointed to Qatar - look!” However, while in Riyadh for his foreign trip last month, Trump met with the emir of Qatar and said they had discussed the sale of “beautiful military equipment” to Qatar. Additionally, implicit in Trump taking credit for the diplomatic crisis is the suggestion that the U.S. now endorses the belief that Qatar is pro-terror—a comment certain to further rile tensions as Qatar is a U.S. ally and hosts the largest American military base in the Middle East.

Look, it's important that you do not care what the mainstream-media reports what he says. They like to twist his words.

Look at what he tweets... No, wait, don't look at what he tweets...

Look at what he does... No, wait, don't look at what he does...

Look at what's in his heart... And how can we know what's in his heart? By listening to what he actually says!

The advantage of lying on Twitter is we at least have something we can choose to use as evidence, whether he means it or not.

In courtrooms the question always is "did you say such and such?"

not "did you mean such and such when you said it and when you denied saying it?"
