Pence chief of staff Marc Short says this never happened.

[kpete]

Former Pres Trump says, "So I said to Mike, 'If you do this, you can be Thomas Jefferson.' And then after it all went down, I looked at him one day and I said, 'Mike, I hate to say this, but you're no Thomas Jefferson.'"

1. Of course it didn't!

Trump makes up crap like that all the time. As thoughts pop in his head, they just leak out of his mouth.

[stopdiggin]

4. +1. virtually anything crossing his lips ...

should be automatically subject to doubt. And this one isn't even good 'entertainment.'

(eight year olds lying their way out of hitting little brother develop better narrative .. )

[PatSeg]

16. Yes, he is writing scripts in his head

all the time and saying them out loud, but they are terrible scripts. He doesn't keep track of his "stories", so he is always contradicting himself. Yes, eight year olds can do it much better.

[aggiesal]

8. I'm willing to bet that Pendejo45 doesn't even know who Thomas Jefferson is. n/t

[Chellee]

12. Thomas Jefferson is being recognized more and more.

[PatSeg]

24. Ha, ha, ha!!!

Perfect!!!

[PatSeg]

22. Oh yeah, I was thinking the same thing

[Irish_Dem]

2. For Trump, the truth is a fluid concept.

He just makes it up as he goes along.

3. First they plagiarized Michelle Obama and now they're down to

Lloyd Bensten.

An iconic moment in the history of VP debates. Danny was the proverbial deer in the fucking headlights!

[EndlessWire]

23. Yeah

That's what it is about. That is a classic line, oft repeated, and he thinks he can get it to shine for him.

Wrong...

[Hugh_Lebowski]

5. Trump knows fuck all about TJ other than the name and the fact that he got good ratings (nt)

[Sympthsical]

7. No, he was also the President who built all those airports

And that's why we won the Peloponnesian War against the French.

[zuul]

6. Of course he didn't say it. TFG has no idea who Thomas Jefferson was.

That ignorant asshole probably thinks he was the star of that 70s show starring George Hemsley, The Jeffersons.

[viva la]

25. Wasn't he the guy in Hamilton?

Who had the great hair?

[musclecar6]

9. If TFFG

Tells the truth, it's cause he made a mistake in his non stop lying.

[Mr. Ected]

10. Mealy Mike is too cowardly to counter it himself

What a weak, miserable opportunist.

[TlalocW]

11. To believe this, you first have to

Believe Trump knows anything about Jefferson in the first place.

"Mike, you could have been like Thomas Jefferson. You remember him and his wife, Weezy? They owned some laundromats in New York which allowed him to move on up to the East side, to a deluxe apartment in the sky? They had a sassy maid. Anyway, you're not like him at all."

[Ohiya]

15. Good one!

[llmart]

17. OK, that made me laugh out loud!

I would not be surprised if he actually said that. He truly is an ignoramus.

[paleotn]

20. About the extent of his Jeffersonian knowledge. Well played.

[dclarston13]

13. He is retracting because it is an admission of guilt from TFG

[Gore1FL]

14. What does any of Jan 6 have to do with Thomas Jefferson? nt

[paleotn]

19. Forget it. BLOTUS is rolling.

[paleotn]

18. BLOTUS making things up. Say it ain't so.

[FakeNoose]

21. This is why Chump can never take the witness stand

Even when he takes an oath to tell the truth, all he can do is make shit up. He has no clue what really happened, even when it's happening in front of him. Chump's brain is mush, and the words out of his mouth are worthless.

He only says what he thinks you'll believe, or what he thinks you want to hear. He thinks that makes him a good salesman.
