Lyin' Trump opens his mouth — and spews lies

By Michael A. Cohen June 15, 2018

On Friday, President Trump strolled out to the White House lawn to speak to reporters. What followed was a cavalcade of lies, mischaracterizations, and breathtakingly inappropriate statements.

Here’s just a sampling:

On the release of an FBI Inspector General report on the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server, he said, “I’ve been totally exonerated” and claimed that the report shows “I did nothing wrong, there was no collusion, no obstruction.” This proves, Trump said, “that the Mueller investigation has been totally discredited.” Trump also argued that the “top people at the FBI” (who he also called “scum”) were plotting against his election. The report did no such thing. In fact, the report had nothing to do with the Russia investigation.

When asked about Paul Manafort, his former campaign manager, who had his bail revoked Friday for tampering with witnesses, Trump described him as someone who “had nothing to do with” his campaign and worked for him for “a very short period of time.”
In fact, Manafort worked for Trump for approximately five months and ran the Republican National Convention for Trump.

JimLur, If, for any reason, you accepted a pig, it would be yours and you could give it back. If you refuse to accept the pig, it stops
there. The owner of the pig could do with it what they want. Same goes for a pig's salary. It's only semantics, yet looks right to me.

"...Again, Trump answered, “No, I’m not gonna take the salary. I’m not taking it.”"

If he never took it how could he give it back?
