Remember when Donald Trump very clearly, in front of several cameras, called Tim Cookthe CEO of AppleTim Apple? Well, since then, he's boldly claimed that he just said Cook very quietlyso quietly, in fact, that none of the people of microphones around him picked it up. And now he's come up with another explanationthat he said Tim/Apple because he's a very busy man and needed to save the second and a half it would have taken to refer to him properly. Tweeting Monday morning, Trump said: At a recent round table meeting of business executives, & long after formally introducing Tim Cook of Apple, I quickly referred to Tim + Apple as Tim/Apple as an easy way to save time & words. The Fake News was disparagingly all over this, & it became yet another bad Trump story!

Also, only after trying a different excuse first. Always a sign your explanation is truthful.

(24,365 posts)And it's not the first time he has called someone by their company's name as if it was their actual surname. "Marilyn Lockheed" for instance;
He's an idiot all right. Utterly unqualified for the office and it will take us decades as a nation to recover from the damage he is causing.

(47,393 posts)Well yeah, it WAS a bad Trump story, most of them are, but it wasn't an incorrect story. Everyday is fill with bad Trump stories, because everyday Trump does or says something really bad.
If he wants better stories, maybe he should change his dialogue and behavior.
