It's a lovely day when you go to the official White House website and see transcripts like this:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/02/07/remarks-president-trump-roundtable-county-sheriffs

Q Mr. President, if it's unreported or under-reported -- "unreported" is the phrase you used yesterday -- but if it's under-reported, why do you think the media is not reporting, or America is not caring about this type of --

THE PRESIDENT: I have to know, because I'm reported on possibly more than anybody in the world -- I don’t think you have anything to say about that. I happen to know how dishonest the media is. I happen to know stories about me that should be good -- or bad -- you know, I don’t mind a bad story if it's true. But I don’t like bad stories that -- stories that should be a positive story when they make them totally negative. I understand the total dishonesty of the media better than anybody. And I let people know it. I mean, the media is a very, very dishonest arm, and we'll see what happens. Not everybody. And I have to say that. I always preface it by saying, not everybody. But there's tremendous dishonest -- pure, outright dishonesty from the media.

Let’s go into the Oval Office.

(Meeting moves to Oval Office.)

THE PRESIDENT: So they said this is the first President they've ever seen with all the papers on their desk. (Inaudible) cutting the price of the F-35 fighters. We have a lot of papers.

And by saying this, he admits he hasn't a clue as to what is written on them.

That .gif is perfect!

Still talking about the election.
Is this man constipated? He seems very stuck.

He's claiming he doesn't urinate or defecate. It's probably taking quite a toll now.

This pretty much puts it to shame, and it's real.

As a side note, looks like someone has started up the site again.

Seriously, they can get laughs just by reinacting actual events. I saw a skit on SNL where they were poking fun at DeVos and she said something about needing guns at schools for grizzlies. I just assumed they made that up, because I can't imagine any real person actual saying that dumb shit, but it turns out she actually said that. WTF?!

Then you have to try so sift out the many lies and exaggerations from anything masquerading as a fact. It's maddening.
