1. And now 45 million Americans not only believe the call took place but the Chinese are

lying about that.

45 million Americans want tremendous harm to come to all of us.

[gratuitous]

2. Once again, the American people get more reliable information from China than the President

Who knew America wasn't being great because the president wasn't such a lying sack of shit? Well, we've fixed that now, so America is, like, totes great again!

3. The routine is

Step 1try and figure out how trump isn't lieing.
Step 2 maybe it was a prank radio dj
Step 3 now that some of you think, that's a possibility...
Step 4 move on to next ridiculous effluent from the erupting lie-Cano

4. The phone call story was BS to make Trump look good.

5. "Don't worry: the President is just hallucinating again! All the politicians do that!"

6. Interesting thought

Our adversaries can use Trumps statements to their advantage because he lies so much

Even *if* he tells the truth they can deny it ever happened

Pretty neat way for them to game things
