TIME MAGAZINE COLUMNIST’S TRUMP QUOTE WENT VIRAL — THEN HE ADMITTED HE MADE IT UP

Time Magazine columnist Ian Bremmer on Sunday tweeted a quote from President Donald Trump about North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un that quickly went viral — but it wasn’t real.

“President Trump in Tokyo: ‘Kim Jong Un is smarter and would make a better President than Sleepy Joe Biden.'” Bremmer wrote on Twitter.

While Trump did praise the North Korean dictator’s insult of former Vice President Joe Biden, the president never said what Bremmer quoted him saying — because Bremmer made it up. (RELATED: 9 Times The Media Pushed Misinformation About Brett Kavanaugh)

Bremmer left the false post up for several hours before conceding he made up the quote and deleting the tweet, which he defended as “plausible.”

Gee, brain wasting is such a terrible disease...especially when there is no damn way on gawd's green earth you could possibly catch it.

Being Trump's economist is not exactly great for the old resume.

That's like being the navigator on the Titanic.

He wants a REAL job. Rule by coke-fed 4:00 AM tweet would rankle any educated professional. No wonder they don't stick around. Trump does not listen.

Trump not listening........is the understatement of the year.

He does not listen and he does not hear. (and does not want to).........exceptions being the selective stuff that appeals to his ego.

As Sarah Sanders Signs Off, a Look Back at Her Biggest Lies

Her unknown successor has some big shoes to fill when it comes to blatant falsehoods.







Job-opening alert! Do you enjoy lying about easily fact-checked matters? Do you get pumped up thinking about running members of the media over with your car? Do you live to serve contemptible human beings? Then today’s your lucky day! Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Donald Trump’s longtime press secretary, is bidding the White House adieu.
Trump, who apparently has no idea when Sanders started working for him, announced the news on Twitter, praising the woman who routinely brawled with the press and lied through her caps in service to his agenda, and suggesting she should seek public office. “After 3 1/2 years, our wonderful Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be leaving the White House at the end of the month and going home to the Great State of Arkansas,” Trump wrote. “She is a very special person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job! I hope she decides to run for Governor of Arkansas - she would be fantastic. Sarah, thank you for a job well done!”
In this case, a “job well done” refers to routinely and shamelessly telling brazen lies, some of which include:

  • Denying knowledge of Trump’s in-office hush-money payoffs, despite the fact that Trump himself admitted to them;
  • Claiming that Trump had created far more jobs for African Americans than Obama, when, in reality, Obama created four times as many as Trump;
  • Insisting, with a straight face, that her boss had never “promoted or encouraged violence,” seemingly forgetting the time Trump told supporters at a rally, of a protester who’d been ejected, “I’d like to punch him in the face”; or the time he told a crowd in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, “If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, okay. Just knock the hell—I promise you I will pay for the legal fees, I promise”; or the time he openly fantasized about “Second Amendment people” preventing the appointment of liberal judges; or the time he instructed police officers to knock suspects’ heads against the side of their squad cars.
  • Smearing the many, many women who have accused Trump of sexual harassment or assault and claiming they are the liars;
  • And, of course who could forget the time she created an elaborate yarn about how she’d heard from “countless…individuals who work at the FBI who said they were very happy” with Trump’s decision to fire James Comey, in an attempt to make the story that the firing was all about agency morale stick, and had nothing whatsoever to do with the Russia investigation. Which, of course, she admitted was a total lie during her interview with Special Counsel Robert Mueller. She subsequently doubled down, telling George Stephanopoulos that she only admitted to lying about hearing from “countless” people, before shifting the focus to Comey, who she described as a “disgraced leaker” and a “dirty cop.”

Good baah, Huckabilly.

I wonder what kind of bobblehead clown Trump comes up with for Press Secretary #4 or will be even bother to have a Press Secretary seeing as the media are the "enemy of the people" (or the Trump family and, by extension, therefore, all of America)?

When you don't hold press conferences do you really need a press secretary?
