Donald Trump is a master of decieit
The day after former FBI director James Comey testified, President Trump was asked whether or not tapes exist of his conversations with Comey. Trump answered, “I’ll tell you something about that maybe sometime in the very near future.”
Why should it take days or weeks to answer with a simple yes or no? Does that mean the tapes exist at this moment, but if they don’t match the Trump version of events, they’ll soon fail to exist?
Donald Trump can make bold statements to his supporters with absolute certainty (“We will build a wall,” and “I will bring back coal-mining jobs”) but he has to obfuscate and hedge when speaking to the entire American people. He’s treating the presidency like a TV reality show, with fake drama added to the script.
Trump’s one-time campaign manager Corey Lewandowski recently described his former boss as “the most open president in the history of our country.” Give me a break. Starting with his broken promise to release his tax returns all the way through to dodging a direct question about the existence of tapes, Trump is a master of deceit.
