Trump's bizarre plane story

President Donald Trump left a false impression that a plane carrying former President Barack Obama “came close but it didn’t land” in the Philippines due to poor relations between the countries.

Obama did have a strained relationship with current Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, and Obama never visited the Southeast Asian country while Duterte was in charge (though Obama did visit the Philippines twice before Duterte was president). But, contrary to Trump’s account, Obama never had a flight to the Philippines diverted.

Trump’s odd comment came during a press gaggle in Manila on the tail end of the president’s trip to Asia.

After meeting with Duterte, Trump said the relationship between the Philippines and the U.S. was now “probably better than ever before.” Under Obama, the relationship between the U.S. and the Philippines was “horrible,” Trump told the gathered press. He added, “You know what happened. Many of you were there, and you never got to land. The plane came close but it didn’t land.”

4. Constantly making up stories to try to humiliate and demean Obama and Hillary.

This man is mentally ill.

5. Normal people don't want to associate with murderers like Duterte.

I'm sure Trump is envious. He'd love to solve our opioid crisis a la Duterte. Do you suppose Don has a secret closet in the White House that holds a rack filled with Muammar Gaddafi uniforms? He'd have to put more gold on the epaulets, of course, and add more medals, but . . . it's totally him.

6. Maybe someone should ask him...

Where did his First Lady fly off to?

Beijing Zoo?
Alaska?
?

7. Trump was caught in another lie

[spanone]

8. he even included the media in the lie...'You know what happened. Many of you were there...'

it never happened....

9. There is a lot to hash out and Obamas is an intellectual heavyweight.

Many of our adversaries are more favorable toward Trump. After all, the world knows Trump has been damaging to the US more than they ever could. Yes Trump, they are patting you on the back and saying “good boy”.
