Trump Taking Credit Where None Is Due

Ignoring that this event never happened, why the enthusiasm? Why put your name on it at all? What an imbecile.

He's lubing us up for something like this:

This was November 2015, which would explain why it's news to us.

So, the idiot cuts down over 400 trees which angers conservationists and then puts up a plaque saying he "preserved" the site.

 

Even if what is said on the plaque is true, how exactly did he personally "preserve" the site?

He didn't dam it. That's all I got.

In a phone interview, Mr. Trump called himself a “a big history fan” but deflected, played down and then simply disputed the local historians’ assertions of historical fact.

 

“That was a prime site for river crossings,” Mr. Trump said. “So, if people are crossing the river, and you happen to be in a civil war, I would say that people were shot — a lot of them.”

Wow. This is from that Times article.

 

The only thing historians can speculate Trump might be referring to is a rout of Union soldiers 11 miles uphill.

 

But no one died in that crossing, historians said, or in any other notable Civil War engagement on the spot.

 

“How would they know that?” Mr. Trump asked when told that local historians had called his plaque a fiction. “Were they there?”

And the best part:

 

Mr. Trump repeatedly said that “numerous historians” had told him that the golf club site was known as the River of Blood. But he said he did not remember their names.

I disagree with naming anonymous sources in journalism. But this is an academic matter. If those historians would please come forth...

 

But they don't exist.

So...in that quote, he admitted he totally pulled it out of his ass.

 

The ONLY reason this flag pole and plaque was put up was that he was trying to fabricate a historical site that people would want to see. To see it, they would need to play golf on his course.

Yeah, it reminds me of that excerpt from one of his books (cited in Vox's "Bullshitter-in-Chief" article) in which he asks if anyone's ever heard of a pizza chain claiming to have the world's 3rd-best pizza.

 

Clearly it's how he sees this: who cares if it's true. It's his golf course and if it makes it look good/important, good for him. Frankly I think his supporters and apologists see it the same way.

Good news guys - he's ended terrorism with his visit to a king.

 

[BigRedBuster]

I think it was the energy that flowed into them while touching the glowing orb.

[BigRedBuster]

Yep...this makes sense coming from the Pentagon right when Trump is loving everyone hating on Qatar.

 

[NM11046]

So that makes three right - China Ambassador, London delegate and this on countering something he's said that's not true?

[BigRedBuster]

They're all part of the "Deep State".
