TRUMP MISQUOTES HIMSELF WHILE CLAIMING WALL STREET JOURNAL MISQUOTED HIM ABOUT KIM JONG UN

BY JASON SILVERSTEIN ON 1/14/18 AT 9:38 AM

. . .

President Donald Trump on Sunday misquoted himself in a tweet complaining about how he had supposedly been misquoted in a scrutinized Wall Street Journal interview. The Journal soon released audio of the interview to prove the president said what it reported, and the White House followed up minutes later with a seemingly identical recording trying to prove the Journal wrong.

Trump on Twitter took issue with the most notorious line from his Thursday interview: When he said “I probably have a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un,” the North Korean dictator who has been threatening for months to launch a nuclear attack on the United States.

“I have relationships with people. I think you people are surprised,” Trump added, declining to say whether he had ever spoken directly with Kim.

Trump’s cryptic comment stood out not only because of the shared hostility between him and Kim, but also because the U.S. has no diplomatic ties with North Korea, and it would be unprecedented for an American president to have a “very good relationship” with the leader of the world’s most hermetic nation.

There is just something wrong, something off with this man.

His relationship with truth and fact is nonexistent. He is a pathological liar and has zero credibility, zero trust.

He maliciously battered and maligned a fair number of Republican senators during the primary and since. When will they say "Enough is enough" for the good of the country?
