Quote:Donald Trump made up a story about an upscale Manhattan restaurant in a meeting about his administration’s Afghanistan policy, Page Six reports.
During a meeting with his national security team in July, the president reportedly compared the longest war in U.S. history with a botched retelling of renovations of the NYC speakeasy “Club 21.”
Speaking to his national security advisers, Trump reportedly explained Club 21 wasted a lot of money in the ’80’s when it “hired an expensive consultant to craft a plan for a renovation.”
“After a year, Trump said, the consultant’s only suggestion was that the restaurant needed a bigger kitchen,” NBC reported.

Quote:As it turns out, “21” did not close for a year. It shuttered for less than two months in 1987, and required no outside consulting. “There was no consultant,” Cogan told Page Six. “We had [architectural firm] Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.”
“I signed all the checks,” Cogan continued. “We didn’t make any mistakes. The kitchens were 60 years old. We put in all new equipment and duct work.”
“I’m proud of the job I did at ’21,’” Aretsky said. “I got a great kick out of reading about Trump’s comparison of our renovation to the war in Afghanistan, but everything he said is wrong.”

Psychotic lying fucktard!

Meh.

This kind of inane shit is what allows his rabid supporters to point at it and talk about deep state bullshit and witch hunts.

Fuck them.  Anyone who is a Drumpfuck needs to be ignored...or locked away.

That sort of makes you no better than them.

I'll settle for being different from them..... and not voting for a racist fucktard.

I'll settle for not jailing people who vote differently than I do. It's kinda what democracies do.

It truly doesn't trouble all that much when an elected official lies - I've come to expect it.  But Trump seems to have a real problem in this area - he isn't lying about legislation he wants to get passed, or to cover up a sex scandal, or to win an election.  He seems to consistently lie about inconsequential things - a call from the Boy Scouts, or the renovations at a nightclub.

If you're going to lie, there should at least be a legitimate purpose at the end of it.

Boru

Who cares. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council voted unanimously, which includes Russia and China, to impose even more harsh sanctions against North Korea for it's testing and pursuing of intercontinental ballistic missiles that could soon have the capability of hitting targets in the U.S. mainland.

My friend has just redone his garden, it looks really nice now.

At least half the country cares that he's a pathological liar.  He can't even come up with a legitimate anecdote when trying to make some sort of vague point.

If there is a deep state, he created it by alienating and pissing off everyone around him.  This idea that its Barack sitting in some secret underground government sponsored command center and pulling the strings to undermine trump is laughable.  Trump undermines himself just fine with no outside help needed.
