The same guy who doesn't go to church who says he knows more about the Bible than anyone (including the Pope)
At some point "pathological liar says new lie" has to stop being a news story, right?
They also tried to get him to say his favorite verse or whatever and he deflects saying he loves all of it. Like a 3rd grader doing a book report on a book he's never read
Or Sarah Palin being asked which newspapers she reads.
If she wasn't one of the dumbest people alive (clearly second place at best nowadays) she could have said something about how naming a publication could be considered as endorsement and she didn't want to do that.
But she'd need to know what "construed" means, of course...
I don't need to read the papers! I can see what Russia is doing from my kitchen window.
It’d be great if it was an actual news story
It wouldn't be news, if that pathological liar wasn't in one of the most powerful positions on the planet.
Whatever it is just put it in the headline I already barely care
Back when the purpose of an article was to convey information.
Now the goal is to put advertising in front of you, and keep it on your screen as long as possible.
Gotta bury the lead, so you spend time looking for it instead of moving on.
What's weird is originally the title had this: "Trump Says He Knows More Than Anyone In The World, With 1 Exception (But Not Really)"
Someone on the reddit thread had a big post of all the crazy brags he's done over the years. I forgot about the "I'm more humble than anyone else" brag, LOL
Reminds me of Amish Paradise:
I’m the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
On my knees day and night scoring points for the afterlife
So don't be vain! And don't be whiney! Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your hiney!
Im the best at being humble. My humble is among the greats - calculon
Trump: "I know more about inflation, I know more about everything than anybody in this room. Anybody anywhere in the world. Well, there's a woman sitting right over there. She's a housewife but she's very good. She got a natural instinct for business. She perhaps knows more than I do but I actually don't think so."
Why did I read this in David Byrne’s voice?
Weird manifestation of humility at the end there.
More likely he was hitting on her than trying to show humility. His brain is mush.
I wonder if it was meandering like that because first he spotted a woman he thinks is kind of hot.
Then he thinks she's too old - AKA "housewife", but that he'd still be into it "she's very good". Some praise: "natural instinct for business". A little more: "She perhaps knows more than I do" - whoops, crazy oversteer there! No way anyone knows more than I do, let's reel that in a bit...
What a totally normal thing to say.
I feel like I'm living inside of a The Onion article.
Get this click bait trash out of here. Shame on you.
I've been listening to a podcast called Real Dictators. This will not end well.
Not exactly a stunning revelation, when it didn't begin or middle that well either.
If he's willing to demolish the east wing and the Kennedy Center just to glaze himself, he's willing to do a lot worse to stay in power.
How am I supposed to look at a guy who would nuke a hurricane and think he has any mental lines in the sand that map onto reality as I know it? Of course he would stage a coup, he already did he already did.
