Trump defends self after comments, says: 'I am not a racist'
Source: MSN/Associated Press
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) President Donald Trump, on the defensive in the wake of recent disparaging comments about Haiti and African nations that have revived questions about whether the leader of the world's melting pot is a racist, declared Sunday that he is not one.
"No, No. I am not a racist," Trump told reporters who asked for his response to those who think he is a racist. "I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed. That I can tell you."
Trump also denied making the statements attributed to him, but avoided delving into the specifics of what he did or did not say.
"Did you see what various senators in the room said about my comments?" he asked, referring to lawmakers who were meeting with him in the Oval Office on Thursday when Trump is said to have made the comments. "They weren't made."

This must totally get Trump revved. He says something racist. Two Republicans back him up when he denies what he said after initially claiming not to recall. Then, his administration and Fox News totally validate his view that he is not a racist. In the Fox News/Trump bubble he can bend reality to his will.

Then prove it asshole. pass DACA, immigration, and allow Haitians, El Salvadorans, and others to stay in the USA.

(17,235 posts)he actually is. Repeated "There was no collusion" means there was definitely collusion.

(47,450 posts)Trump isn't a very good liar, but he is a very prolific one. The repetition of the same lie over and over again, sometimes feels like he is trying to convince himself. It most definitely gives him away, as honest people don't have to repeat themselves endlessly.

(5,914 posts)Are special kinds of lies for Trump. These are lies that he KNOWS sound completely ridiculous, so he thinks he needs to put some other superfluous modifier in there to help "sell" them. The rest of the time, he just lies with impunity and doesn't care, since he thinks he's so much smarter than everyone.
He is a worse liar than a five-year-old.
PatSeg
(47,450 posts)just learning how to lie, "Honest, I swear to god", but he lies far more than any child I've ever known. I've known a handful of compulsive liars in my life, but none as fluent as Trump.
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)But he's still terrible at it. Two thirds of this country don't buy what he's selling for a second, and probably half of the remaining third know that he's full of it but don't care.
PatSeg
(47,450 posts)You'd think after decades of practice, he'd be much better at it. He doesn't even try to sound believable.

(9,092 posts)He's a genius. He's the best deal maker. He hires the best people. He never loses. He's like very smart. He's the most honest president. He knows more than the generals. He gives himself an A grade for job performance. He has a good relationship with world leaders. He's making America great again.
