The first came when he claimed, at a Cabinet meeting on Monday, that the President of Mexico had called him recently. Said Trump: "Even the President of Mexico called me. Their southern border, they said very few people are coming because they know they're not going to get to our border, which is the ultimate compliment."

The second came last week in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the transcript of which was published Tuesday night. In the interview, Trump boasted: "I got a call from the head of the Boy Scouts saying it was the greatest speech that was ever made to them, and they were very thankful."

Neither of those phone calls actually happened, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders admitted in her daily press briefing Wednesday.

Everyone else either mute our TV, or change the channel. You don't really need to put him on live anymore, no one wants to be subjected to that. We do want you to record it in case he does some nazi shit.

America would have less headaches if you did this.

You have conversations over the phone and in person. If there wasn't a phone call and he didn't have a meeting in person how could there have been a conversation? The lies don't even make sense.
