Trump now pretending he didn't support LePen! Sending out minions/talking points to Fox

In yet another denial of reality, Trump is now trying to deny that he endorsed/supported LePen. He has clearly sent minions and talking points to Fox, where they are now trying to act as though Trump never *really* supported LePen, and it was a close election (hardly -- the numbers are now around 65% for Macron and 35% for LePen), and they keep saying how Macron faces HUGE challenges and that "many people voted against Macron." He won. Trump's favorite and fellow Putinite LePen lost BIGLY.

Honestly Trump and co are so pathetic -- it makes me even more embarrassed that we have this moron lumbering around the White House.

There is no past, there is no evidence - they don't care. They are brainless, brainwashed followers. Lemmings.

were filmed and millions already saw and heard. All anybody has to do is go back and find the footage and immediately show what he said and/or did. What a flippin moron.

Time and again President Trump puts his foot in his mouth, but he just keeps going as if he was right all along. What do you say to that? If you say, "No, no you didn't say that at all," or "I've got footage right here of you saying thus-and-such," he just intones "Fake news," and goes to his next bullshit point. Unfettered by a conscience, Trump just keeps moving forward. If you want to stop and call him on his bullshit, he doesn't care; enjoy the stink, because he's already busy making a new one.

I imagine every day for him is like the movie 50 First Dates. He can only retain what they tell him in the morning.

His words mean nothing. They cease to have meaning the moment he finishes uttering them. His words are his thoughts at that time. He doesn't filter them. He doesn't cross-check them mentally with other words he's said in the past.

We're all supposed to know that. He can't believe that we don't know that. His people, they know that.

Judge Trump on his actions, on his snaky actions. They're not necessarily even his actions, because words mean nothing, so anyone can do anything through Trump and it doesn't matter to him unless he benefits, and then he's all in.

If only the media would quit treating him as if he was the President. Fact is, he doesn't even know what that word means.

Judge him on his actions, not his words. Just say, "He lies," and move on.

Keep a list of his actions. Use them against him.

Let the comedians use his words to get laughs. He hates being laughed at. But all serious attempts to thwart his agenda and defeat him and his minions at the polls should concentrate on his actions alone.
