“A general, who’s a fantastic general, actually said to me, ‘Sir, I’ve been on the battlefield. Men have gone down on my left and on my right. I stood on hills where soldiers were killed. But I believe the bravest thing I’ve ever seen was the night you went on to that stage with Hillary Clinton, after what happened. And then that woman asked you the first question about it.’ And I said, locker room talk! It’s locker talk! What the hell?! Locker room talk!” – Trump, with yet another fake “Sir” story, last night at the New York Young Republicans Club gala. And it was Anderson Cooper who asked him about the pussy tape that night, not a woman.

So, trump has a tell. Whenever he quotes somebody saying something to him and it starts with the word “sir” addressing him, he’s lying. He has made up the quote. This has been well documented.

All that this tells me is that trump would make a horrible poker player. Tell has been documented, discussed in the media, and he still won’t change it. Successful businessman indeed

    Not quite true. He sometimes stumbles onto a truth here and there, in his word salads. He seems to be getting better at avoiding them, however.

    E.g. he agreed he wanted to be a dictator.

      Also like the time after he won the election and his trumpets were chanting “lock her up” and he said something like “nah, I just said that because it sounded good”
