Trump claims that Wes Moore privately told him "sir , you're the greatest president of mylifetime"

during his "press conference" this morning, according to Aaron Rupar on bluesky.

Wes Moore had this response on X: "lol"

The fact that trump feels free to say things like this to this excuse for a "press corps" proves again that they are neither journalists nor honest brokers. If Joe Biden had said that Greg Abbott came to him and said "Sir, you are the greatest president of my lifetime", there would be mass hysteria and fainting followed by many calls to 9-11 for all the "reporters" overcome by the horror.

1. Trump is a known liar. That is all.

2. Add hearing loss to his list of ailments.

Or maybe he had a special hearing aid installed that translates words like “embarrassment of the country “ into “greatest ever”.

3. It was probably Tim Scott. Remember him looking right into trump's eyes, just 8 inches away, saying, "I love this man."

4. Oh God, I forgot about that

Well it's easy to see how trump could get them confused, right?

5. This shows up in the coverage of what is an obvious health crisis for Trump.

I go to Drudge first thing in the morning. He regularly aggregates stories about Trump’s failing health. But the stories come from C list publications like the Daily Star and The Express. They’re never from larger outlets like WAPo or NYT because they’re simply not covering his health problems to any meaningful extent, even though they were Johnny on the Spot anytime Biden misspoke or when Hillary had heat exhaustion in 2016.

6. Yes, good point about the health issues

You have to wonder if they will eventually be forced to cover the bruises on his hands. So far they are in full on normalization mode, and obviously afraid to mention it. If it was a Dem president, there would be not only many rude, breathless questions but hearings in Congress would have already started.
