Trump humiliates his press secretary by immediately contradicting her claims about Israel barring Omar and Tlaib

White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham on Thursday claimed that President Donald Trump did not put pressure on Israels government to bar Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from entering their country.
However, the president blew up her claims just one hour later by sending out a tweet telling Israel to bar Tlaib and Omar.
CNNs eagle-eyed fact checker Daniel Dale noticed that Grisham at roughly 9 a.m. on Thursday told reporters that the Israeli government can do what it wants, while going on to describe reports that Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop Omar and Tlaib inaccurate.
At around 10 a.m., however, Trump sent out a tweet that explicitly warned Israel against letting the two congresswomen in.
It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep. Tlaib to visit, the president wrote. They hate Israel & all Jewish people, & there is nothing that can be said or done to change their minds. Minnesota and Michigan will have a hard time putting them back in office. They are a disgrace!

Grisham was charged with driving under the influence, speeding, and driving with an invalid license in 2013.[22] The charges were plea bargained and reduced to reckless driving.[22] In December 2015, Grisham was again charged with driving under the influence, and pleaded guilty to that offense.[22]

(43,249 posts)Many presidents have tried it. He may turn Magazis but the rest of the country has tuned him out.
So he's double messaging his press secretary? Double messages are about power and control. Isn't she a little old for Trump?
