However, according to Kellyanne, the President wasn't lying on Friday when he repeatedly denied knowing Whitaker............. you see, Trump was instead just trying to make the point  that he wasn’t appointing “a friend there who he’s known his entire life.”

Just like Trump was on video talking about how he did know Putin, then repeatedly insisted he'd never met Putin............Trump told FOX in October that he knows Matt Whitaker and Whitaker is "a great guy", then told reporters repeatedly on Friday that he doesn't even know Whitaker.

Such a habitual liar, the President is.   It's very easy to pull up the FOX tape and the records showing Trump met with Whitaker many times in the White House.

Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

That would be lying.

I'd be prepared to own and answer questions about my hiring decision.

No one asked Trump if he knew Whitaker or whether he was friendly with Whitaker on a social level. Instead, Trump claimed that he didn't know Whitaker several times rather than answering questions about his decision to appoint Whitaker; a man Trump had recently claimed to know and a man with whom Trump had met in a professional capacity many times before appointing him to the highest Justice/LE position in the country.

When trump makes those stupid fuckin' comments, he's not speaking to people like me or HotD or Love Child, he's speaking directly to those who think like Fry Guy, Maggot and Mark. He knows that not only will they believe his bullshit, they will self righteously defend it.

"I don't know Matt Whitaker, I don't know Matt Whitaker". Donald Trump about the man he just appointed AG, Nov. 2018

Two proactive conflicting statements by one person, with one vocabulary, one month apart.

One of the two conflicting statements is false -- no personal opinion or pointless semantics exercise changes that objective reality. But, I don't care if anyone chooses to believe otherwise.

His best bet is to ignore the idiots that are out there doing anything they possibly can to muck up anything he does. The Mexican government has finally started to do something about migrants in their country. It's because Trump was such a hard liner and would not make it an easy thing to do. Today they realize this and the caravan is dwindling. They may not even need the military by the time it reaches here but the pundits and the quacks on the left still cry a river about it. meanwhile they have no new idea's and do not even want to apply the laws on the books. Normal people can see this but whoever said the violent left was anything but normal. Every day they prove it over and over. 

Do you know what he's doing today? Sitting in the White House rage tweeting. He's not visiting Arlington nor Walter Reed. You can shove trump up your butt. Have a beautiful day.
