In a statement Monday night, Trump said, "I have no idea what a burner phone is, to the best of
my knowledge I have never even heard the term."

Time for Merrick to have his people have "a chat" with TFG.

[PatSeg]

1. He is such a terrible liar

We've heard him do this before, feign ignorance when he is guilty.

[Wounded Bear]

33. You'd think he'd be better at it, as much as he practices...

[PatSeg]

36. I know, I've thought the same thing

Seven decades of lying should have made him a consummate pro by now, but he still lies like a small child. Even more incomprehensible is the fact that his supporters still believe him!

[whopis01]

41. He tells lies that would be good enough to fool him

I seriously think this is what goes on with him.
He comes up with a story that he thinks would be good enough to fool himself. He fails to realize how stupid he actually is. Which of course would be hard to understand, being that stupid.

He thinks it is a genius approach. Everyone else thinks he is an idiot.

Well - not everyone else, unfortunately. Some think he is an idiot, some go along with it for their own benefit, and some are dumb enough to fall for it.

[PatSeg]

46. Oh yes, that would explain a lot

He sees everything from the limited perspective of his own puny brain and being he had a certain amount of money and power, many people looked the other way. It must have been a glorious moment when he discovered his base and found that they actually believed him for real.

[OMGWTF]

52. Like when a little kid closes their eyes and says "You can't see me!"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Jan 6 organizers used burner phones to communicate with tRump family

Eric Trump threatens lawsuit:

[Botany]

4. And who paid for those "burner phones?"

I would guess Ginni Thomas and Rudy might have something to do with the money
to purchase those burner phones.

[leftieNanner]

34. Cash

It's difficult to trace dollar bills.

[PatSeg]

48. The Trump family cracks me up

They lie and trash people all the time, but are quick to threaten lawsuits whenever anyone trashes them. They are such exhausting, little people.

[sop]

3. Like Paul "Paulie" Cicero in the film "Goodfellas," Trump doesn't use phones either.

Trump learned early on mob bosses issue orders to underlings and henchmen face-to-face and in private.

[Tetrachloride]

5. Question: what made TFG talk about burner phones? Did someone ask to his face or what?

[lpbk2713]

6. He's lying, as usual.

It's inconceivable. It just can't happen.

He spent four years in office, around all kinds of security people from varied areas of expertise.
It's just not possible that in that time there was not one discussion related to burner phones.

Miserable lying sack of shit.

[trusty elf]

38. ...

[mopinko]

7. consciousness of guilt.

[dalton99a]

8. "I'm the best innocent criminal in the history of the world"

[Botany]

9. Trump, "This Trump/Russia thing is a hoax."

Donald Trump: "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing."

[Walleye]

10. "I have no idea what the US Constitution is, never heard the term"

[randr]

11. The day will come

when the word "trump" will mean "an obvious tell for a lie".
As in; "his trump was showing".

[newdayneeded]

16. Or

"Dude stop fricking trumping all the time"

[patphil]

30. Or perhaps, "he's such a trump head".

[OMGWTF]

53. Look up the word "trumpery" it means

worthless, gaudy, showy, etc. it’s perfect!

[Paladin]

12. Come on, Merrick Garland: Put some of those 131 new attorneys to work on this. (nt)

[Chicago1980]

18. I don't think they've been hired yet.

[Paladin]

19. It figures. (nt)

[barbtries]

13. "I've never seen these 10 phones in my pocket"

fucking asshole. I just wish the media would stop giving him air. he would deflate and disappear.

[Ferrets are Cool]

14. Either he is lying again or even more incredibly stupid than we thought.

[twodogsbarking]

15. All of the above

[sarge43]

55. That's not an either/or n/t

[yardwork]

17. It doesn't matter what he calls it. That's a distraction.

Trump wants people to argue about whether he knows a slang term or not. That's irrelevant. What matters is what he did - not the word he used for it at the time.

[bringthePaine]

20. we know that fucker has "borrowed" phones to avoid using his - same damn thing, no news here

[live love laugh]

21. Did you use temporary or addt'l. phones other than your regular ones?

[LiberalFighter]

26. Or did you use phones of other people?

[KS Toronado]

22. The 7 hour gap in his phone logs were due to "burner phones"

Only fascists hide their conversations with co-conspirators.

[Botany]

27. 11/24/21 Jan. 6 organizers used burner phones to communicate with White House

Jan. 6 organizers used burner phones to communicate with White House

Organizers of the "Stop the Steal" rally that preceded the deadly Capitol attack on Jan. 6 allegedly communicated with members of former President Trump's family and administration, according to Rolling Stone magazine.

Multiple sources told Rolling Stone that Kylie Kremer, an organizer for the rally that took place at D.C.'s Ellipse park, had an aide buy three burner phones a few days before Jan. 6. Kremer said that it was "of the utmost importance" that the phones be purchased with cash, one source, who was a member of the March for Trump team, told the magazine.

[spanone]

23. This is called 'getting ahead of the news cycle'

did anyone ask him about burner phones?

[Botany]

24. Just a guess but I bet the 7 hour gap in the White House phone logs had people using "burner phones"

.... or TFG guy talking about them.

[spanone]

35. Yep. When tfg tells you he knows nothing about them.....

He knows everything about them.

'to the best of my knowledge' how many times has he used that in court?

[LiberalFighter]

25. And people are stupid enough to believe him.

[Rebl2]

28. A person

that doesn’t know what a burner phone should never be president. He’s lying.

[Pepsidog]

29. The depth and scope of TFG's lies is beyond imagination. In your face, bold face lies must be

subject to investigation and punishment.

[PCIntern]

31. For someone who hasn't been able to visualize his Dick

For at least twenty years, how would you expect him to know anything?

It all makes sense if you go down the rabbit hole…

[Backseat Driver]

47. Ah....that's where the rabbit hole is? Yeah, big crevice; tiny boulders! n/t

[IronLionZion]

32. It's when your phone gets so hot it catches on fire

kind of like your pants every time you speak or every Bible you touch

[AZLD4Candidate]

37. For the smartest, greatest president ever, he really knows so little

People he's talked to and had pictures with, names of countries, simple words, burner phones.

I'm surprised he can find his schwantz with both hands in the bathroom.

[Marcuse]

39. Key Word: INCREDIBLE

"I'm an incredibly honest clean guy — unlike Hunter, no drugs, healthy lifestyle, not the 'burner phone type," Trump tweeted, referring to President Joe Biden's son Hunter and his previous struggles with addiction

[Katcat]

40. Well sure he didn't. 🤪🤪

It’s not like Eric trump and the 1/6 organizers have been accused of using burner phones to plan their insurrection.
Oh. Yeah they have.

[cilla4progress]

42. Did you see

his hole in one?

Link to tweet

?t=cWM3VCQpv9kIcRZ12MZzeA&s=19

Oh, yeah... ya gotta take him at his word.

😏🙄

That ass tho 🤢

[Jilly_in_VA]

43. He's either lying

or he's even dumber than we gave him credit for. You choose.

[birdographer]

44. "the best of his knowledge"??

Kind of a low bar. A third grader can do better.

[BlueIdaho]

54. He learned that from Roy Cohn

Along with “I have no clear recollection”

[Mysmi]

45. A gaslighter

That's what he is.

[llashram]

49. his diaper hadn't been changed yet

so he probably was in a state when answering this question with another lie. Maybe he's teething

[BobTheSubgenius]

50. Perhaps the rarefied air he breathes contains too little oxygen for a feeble brain.

JFC. That is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

[DFW]

51. I find that believable enough. However:

"One of them cheap anonymous phones that you can't trace while using it, and you then throw away so no one can ever trace it after you use it."

Now THAT is a term I'm sure he is VERY familiar with.

[Peregrine Took]

57. May have called them something else - disposible, prepaid, etc

https://www.powerthesaurus.org/burner_phone/synonyms

[NoMoreRepugs]

58. Well , Trump 'knowledge' is non-existent so I may believe him on this one.

[fightforfreedom]

60. Trump is like a broken record. He repeats the same patterns over and over again.

Whenever Trump says he doesn't know about something, that's proof he does.

[Hassler]

61. Clue winner: Former Guy, in the Oval Office, with the burner phone.
