‘Top’ of the lie: Donald Trump caught embellishing story about meeting with Chicago police brass
Source: Daily News
The "top" cop Donald Trump claimed earlier this week to have met in Chicago was simply a "qualified" officer, the GOP nominee's spokeswoman admitted Wednesday.
Trump was caught in an apparent fabrication during an interview with Bill O'Reilly Monday, when he told the Fox News Channel commentator that he had met with a "top" Chicago Police Department officer with whom he discussed how "tough police tactics" could help quell the city's violence.
"I'm sure he's got a strategy," Trump added about the officer he met with. "I didn't ask him his strategy."

In a statement to NBC Chicago, department spokesman Frank Giancamilli said that "no one in the senior command at CPD has ever met with Donald Trump or a member of his campaign."

(18,868 posts)He just makes it all up as he goes along.
And if he gets caught in another lie he just changes his story to another story that might go over better.

(39 posts)Donald Trump lies as easy as he breathes.He cannot help himself, it's who he is. His supporters don't want to see this character flaw in The Donald because _______________ (you fill in the blank). But if his fans must suspend reality to vote for Donald Trump they are very gullible to fall for the Con Man's pitch. I think one of the few truths coming from Trump was when he said "he loves the low education voter".

I think I remember the 'Cop' was in New Zealand last month and told their government the USA uses the 'drug test everyone' in some American cities. He's trying to sell his 'for profit' drug war to NZ.
I guess Republicans trump watches so much youtube, facebook and twitter news he's mixed up his reality with what he has seen on the internet.
That's a big sign he needs a vacation away from the stress.
