BREAKING NEWS: Trump lied
(oops, he always lies)
Trump again tells story about being booed at 2015 event he didn't attend
President Donald Trump boasted on Wednesday about his cognitive abilities, including the memory he has previously called "one of the great memories of all time."
But there are only two possibilities about a story Trump told in an interview he taped on Thursday: either he misremembered, something or he made something up.
Trump was musing to Dave Portnoy, the controversial founder of the website Barstool Sports:
"One thing that happened: I was going into a thing called the Robin Hood Foundation. I'll never forget it," Trump said in the interview, which Portnoy released on Friday.
"It was just about the night I announced or whatever. My wife looked at me, she said, 'You know, I hear people booing. Some people are booing.' She said, 'You know what, I've been with you a long time. I've never heard anyone boo you.' This was right after I started being the politician (announced hisrun for president). And it meant something -- because I said, you know, it's the first time in my life I was ever booed."
Fact: This story could not possibly be true: Trump has not attended the Robin Hood Foundation gala since 2011. Also, the 2015 gala was held in May, a month before Trump announced his candidacy. Also, Trump had been booed in public on multiple occasions before 2015.
MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle, who is part of the anti-poverty foundation's Leadership Council of prominent donors, has publicly said that Trump did not attend the gala in 2015. Ruhle tweeted in March that Trump's story about being booed was "entirely fabricated."
Trump has tried to make mental sharpness a major issue in the campaign, repeatedly suggesting that Democratic opponent Joe Biden has lost his faculties. Trump taped the interview with Portnoy just a day after a Fox News interview in which he crowed at length about his supposed ability, on a cognitive test he says he took.
