Sarah Sanders defends Trump: He reads 'more than anybody I know'

[demmiblue]

Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended President Trump after an anonymous author who served in his administration claimed in a new book that officials had to slim down their briefing materials to a single key point in order to make the information easier for the president to understand.

In excerpts of “A Warning” that were published by Business Insider, the author wrote that some officials in the Trump administration were instructed to reduce briefing materials in presentations because Trump “couldn't digest too many slides.”

Sanders, the former White House press secretary, said during an appearance on a Fox News panel on Sunday that she thinks the author behind the book, who served as a senior official in the Trump administration, is a “total coward” and added that she found the book to be “despicable.”

She went on to say that the book reads as being from somebody who is not close to Trump, agreeing with points made by fellow former press secretary Sean Spicer, who had also joined Sanders on the panel.

“It doesn’t read to me like somebody that’s spent real time with the president. You can’t spend the kind of time with him and have that takeaway,” Sanders said.

1. Okay it is possible he reads ore than anyone

he just retains nothing.

[DENVERPOPS]

6. Nonsense

I immediately thought of what's her name journalist asking Sarah Palin about her "reading" material.

His staff has commented that they have to edit the daily intelligence reports that they hand to him down to one page in large print.
They have also commented that they need to word it like a report given to a third grader..........

[catrose]

16. Maybe he does read more than anyone Sarah knows

just goes to show the kind of people she knows

[lunatica]

17. My first thought too.

Idiocrats aren’t big on reading. In the ‘Idiocracy’ documentary it shows they have cute icon buttons to choose their responses, instead of words spelled out.

[TheBlackAdder]

32. Would she lie?

[CincyDem]

33. She might be telling the truth.

Don’t know who she knows.

44. Yeah, her dad sure hasn't read the Bible. Well, it might have been The Living Bible for kids.

[lame54]

50. "And I'm drinking orange juice."

[jrthin]

2. She's just admitting that all she knows are illiterates. Or,

she continues to do what she knows and does best: lie.

[livetohike]

7. My thoughts too. n/t

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

3. This panel on Fox News sounds scripted. I wonder if they do rehearsals.

[lunatica]

18. More likely

they’ve done this so long they have no idea how to stop doing it.

[grumpyduck]

4. If he reads more than anyone she knows,

her comment says a lot about the people she knows.

[Iliyah]

5. And she will be running for governor

of Arkansas.

Education is not important to Right Wingers.

[DENVERPOPS]

8. My favorite name for her:

Sarah Huckapig.........

[underpants]

21. The Uncredible Huck

[UniteFightBack]

9. She doesn't want to be called a liar and then she goes and tells LIES! nt

[StarfishSaver]

10. He may read more than anyone she knows

[magicarpet]

11. What does she feed those boys .....

[lunatica]

19. I have no idea how to interpret that picture

[LakeArenal]

38. Yikes!!!

Biting back comments. Biting hard...

Hmmm what did Repukes say regarding Chelsea’s teen appearance.

Still biting hard.....Grrrrrr

[tanyev]

12. Cable news chyrons don't count, Sarah.

[spanone]

13. They must be desperate when they bring out professional liars

[Runningdawg]

14. Fast food menus don't count

[0rganism]

15. he especially likes the books with big print, short words, and colorful pictures

his oral interpretation of "One Fish, Two Fish" is legendary among white house staff

[LakeArenal]

41. Highlights for Juniors came to mind.

[0rganism]

47. oooh! the hard stuff!

those are some wicked hard reads for Trump, but many people are saying he plows through anyway

[lame54]

52. he likes the search and find page...

but still can't locate the Ukraine server

[Nitram]

20. That's obviously a very low bar.

[smirkymonkey]

22. She's either lying again or she only spends time around illiterate morons.

[Tracer]

23. Well Sarah, apparently you don't know very many people.

You also have quite the history of telling bald-faced lies, but this one has to be the whopper of them all.

[TheBlackAdder]

24. If Prez. Chauncey Gardener is the most prolific reader she knows, then she's definitely lying.

.

I'm sure she knows some 3rd grade kid in the neighborhood, or some 3rd grader anywhere.

.

[Maeve]

25. Twitter feeds aren't really 'reading' Sarah

And you need to get some literate friends

[Pachamama]

26. How sad that there are so many illiterate people in Sarah's life

[EveHammond13]

27. is she claiming he reads on the toilet?

[CentralMass]

29. That was before Mad magazine shutdown.

[Faux pas]

30. Lol

that isn't saying much for her and anyone she knows. Sheesh

[Sanity Claws]

31. That says a lot about the kind of people she knows

She knows only ignoramuses. (The plural is not ignorami!)

[Arazi]

34. In other words, he never reads since Sarah always lies

The opposite is true when it comes to anything she says

[Thomas Hurt]

35. wanna bet that all that reading is only articles and books about him...

[SWBTATTReg]

36. She must be talking about the coloring books that rump is barely able to handle/process...nt

[Pharlo]

37. Maybe she saw him paging through magazines and newspapers looking for his name and

thought he was reading. Her next statement will probably he's the fastest reader she knows. Perhaps in her sphere opening a magazine or newspaper means you are 'reading' it.

[budkin]

39. "I hate being called a liar"

LET ME TELL THE MOST OBVIOUS LIE

[Downtown Hound]

40. Is she's talking about the instruction manual for how to flip a light switch

Then I could believe her.

[Grasswire2]

42. Orwell was an optimist. nt

[louis-t]

43. She would have to spend a LOT of time with him to know that.

[TNLib]

45. She probably knows allot of illiterate people

so not surprising

[Polybius]

46. Trump reads a lot of newspapers each day

Maybe that's what she meant. I can't see him reading books.

[11 Bravo]

48. That's because you know a bunch of fucking illiterate imbeciles ...

you unspeakably stupid and dishonest twit.

[donkeypoofed]

49. Oh FFS, ya can't get mad when we call you a liar, Sarah!

Especially when you're lying !!

[NurseJackie]

51. Haaaaaa!

[C_U_L8R]

53. So he reads his own tweets...

doubling down on dumb.

[dalton99a]

[Wounded Bear]

55. Uh, Sarah, excuse me but I don't think Twitter counts...
