Reporter catches Trump in a bald-faced lie about being in the Oval Office



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/12/busted-reporter-catches-trump-bald-faced-lie-oval-office/

President Donald Trump on Monday morning claimed that he was sitting inside the Oval Office waiting for Democrats to come to him with a deal for funding his proposed border wall.

“I’m in the Oval Office,” the president wrote. “Democrats, come back from vacation now and give us the votes necessary for Border Security, including the Wall.”

However, Playboy White House correspondent Brian Karem was at the White House on Monday and he caught the president blatantly lying about being in the Oval Office.

Specifically, Karem noticed that there is currently no Marine standing guard outside the Oval Office door, which means that Trump is simply not where he said he was.

“No marine there so that’s another lie,” Karem remarked.

1. He lies like he breathes.

I don't think he even knows how to tell the truth.

[Phoenix61]

4. This! nt

[demmiblue]

10. Yep. n/t

[uponit7771]

20. +1, pathological .. he lies when the truth or silence would serve him better

[LiberalFighter]

21. More like he lies like he shits.

And we don't want a description of that.

[PatSeg]

48. He is more of a story teller,

just spinning yarns as they pop in his head, with no regard to how ridiculous they sound. I don't think he is capable of just making simple statements of fact. It is like he is always competing with himself and his last outrageous lie.

[dalton99a]

2. He's still on the toilet

[Blue_true]

6. He is simply not there. He is lying again. nt

3. It's just so pathetic!

And boring, really, really boring. Every single thing he tweets or says is nothing but an effing lie.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

33. Couldn't agree more.

YAWNers right?

[Farmer-Rick]

5. There is a crazy lying traitor in the white house

And most of the people in power talk about it like it's normal.

What a wonderful gift from capitalism.

7. Playboy has a reporter on scene? n/t

[Afromania]

13. this isnt the 1st or 2nd time a playboy reporter has stepped up and called this admin out either.

Rest of the media need to take notes.

[C_U_L8R]

8. He's in Florida

[Miles Archer]

12. He wants to be at that effing New Years Mar-a-Lago party so freaking bad

Plus, Melania is already there. I don't think it's a matter of his wanting to be with her. I think he feels she shouldn't enjoy it if he can't.

Maggie Haberman posted a long screed about how much he loves that party, and the only reason he WOULDN'T go is that he doesn't want to be asked any questions by anyone. But that doesn't stop him from wanting to be there.

[smirkymonkey]

16. He loves it because there will be tons of people there kissing his fat, flabby orange ass.

He desperately needs people to worship him. What a sickening scene it must be.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

34. He's afraid someone is going to tag his rotten wife.

The SS isnt getting paid....until midnight. Ahem.

[musette_sf]

14. Of course he's in Florida

Would he pass up a night of gilded adulation at the Versailles of the Everglades? HELL NO

[padah513]

19. That's what I said

Has anybody seen him at all at the WH?

[salin]

11. While more speculative - perhaps this is an appropriate companion/explanation.

The twitter source that first raised the question of a possible presidential flight headed towards Iraq - posted about an hour ago about a flight that could be heading to Florida.

[Lonestarblue]

15. Has anyone checked the location of Air Force One?

Trump has probably sneaked off to Mar-a-Lago to party with his billionaire buddies at taxpayer expense.

18. "Just Another Lie." That's the donald, summed up in three words.

[Gothmog]

22. Who is surprised by this?

[elmac]

23. He probably had an oval office built for him at Mar-a-Lago, at tax payer expense. nt

[jgmiller]

24. Ok I hate the guy but come on it's just a figure of speech

If we want to be adults we can't pick on every little thing. I could imagine Obama or Clinton or Kennedy or whoever you want saying something like that and maybe they're really sitting in the kitchen or the residence. Now if he were in Florida and said this then yes go after him but we need to use a little logic here since the GOP doesn't.

[droidamus2]

26. I disagree

If he had said I am at the White House then he could be anywhere in the building. The Oval Office is a specific location within that building and carries a certain 'gravitas' that being in the residence doesn't.

[brush]

31. Nah, it was a lie to make himself look like he's on the job.

If he's in the WH and not the Oval Office just say so and people will know he's there ready to work. No need to lie.

[jberryhill]

32. It's not a figure of speech

[Caliman73]

37. Nope. Not at all.

He is intentionally saying false things to paint an image of himself that is not correct.

He could have said, "I am at the White House" or "I am in Washington and Democrats are not..." anything like that would have been true. He specifically tried to say that he is sitting in the Oval Office (working) while the Democrats are not. That is a lie. It is not nitpicking it is pointing out that Trump lies when he does not have to lie.

[stevesinpa]

39. you are wrong

since most of the media and almost all of the republicans have allowed this situation to become normal, no we cannot allow any lie to go by. do you really think if President Obama had said he was anyplace, even if just a different room, when he wasn't the republicans wouldn't have feasted like rabid wolves? we cannot allow this scumbag subhuman to get away with anything. I don't care if he says he's 2 inches taller than he actually is, every single lie needs to be called out.

[uponit7771]

43. I'm here on the moon is too, it's out of place and worthless in context also

[True Blue American]

25. I heard that report!:)

[KY_EnviroGuy]

27. tRump doesn't start work until noon.....

if he's even in the building, and if one stretches the truth and calls what he does "work"......

Ironing of pants starts at 11:30am.......

[TimeToGo]

29. One wonders

One wonders about his work routine when he was supposedly running the Trump org.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

41. I think he likes to delegate to others...

that he holds strong leverage over so he can work them to death. He's probably good at listening to progress reports, LOL.

He used to like to pose in NYC with big piles of paper around his desk, but that does not prove he did much productive work. With DJT, it's all about the show and who's going to fall for the flim-flam.

[TimeToGo]

44. Sounds right

[Sneederbunk]

28. Dotard says Marine there but Fake News cannot see him.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

36. The Unknown Soldier is guarding him...

[Achilleaze]

46. republican lies are toxic for America

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

47. Heh heh.

30. Asking trump not to lie is like asking a fish not to swim.

It just can't happen.

[sfwriter]

35. " Reporter catches Trump in a bald-faced lie"

Isn't that a dog bites man story? Too common for words.

He'll make an appearance at a military base in Florida and then pop over to Maralago is my guess.

Trump surprised me with his trip to Iraq though. Maybe he'll accidentally do something decent again.

[Caliman73]

40. The trip to Iraq was not something decent.

It was a cynical political move. He did it to draw attention away from things happening in Washington. While there he engaged in blatant politics and broke protocol with Iraq's government as well as putting our SEALS in damger by disclosing their location.

Not decent.

[Scurrilous]

38. ...

[Cha]

42. Of Course, Traitortrump Lies

like a MF.

[nitpicker]

45. He probably went off to Trump National

To get a round of golf in.

After all, it was in the upper 40s in DC in the morning...
