Who cares if you listened live? He said what he said. Are you claiming the video was altered??
No. I'm saying he never claimed that past presidents never called. That is fake news. He said they wrote or called, depending. Sometimes they did more of one or another.
Liar.
RealDave quoted him...
"If you look at President Obama and other presidents, most of them didn't make calls — a lot of them didn't make calls — I like to make calls when it's appropriate,"
.... and you falsely claimed that was a “made up quote.”
Not only do you rightards live in a world of denial — you lie about virtually everything.
He said they wrote and made calls, but most of the time they wrote. That is 100% correct.
You said the quote
RealDave posted was “made up.”
You’re as fucked in the head as trump — even when caught lying, you can’t own up to it.
This is why you guys are liars and hacks sticking to your fake news like flies to shit.
I don’t know if he did,” Trump said of Obama. “No, no, no.
I was told that he didn’t often. And a lot of presidents don’t. They write letters. I do a combination of both. Sometimes it’s a very difficult thing to do, but I do a combination of both.”
“President Obama, I think, probably did sometimes and maybe sometimes he didn’t. I don’t know,” he continued. “That’s what I was told. All I can do is ask my generals. Other presidents did not call. They’d write letters. And some presidents didn’t do anything. But I like the combination of — I like when I can the combination of a call and also a letter.”
The White House later on Monday said Trump “wasn’t criticizing his predecessors, but stating a fact.”
“When American heroes make the ultimate sacrifice, presidents pay their respects.
Sometimes they call, sometimes they send a letter, other times they have the opportunity to meet family members in person,” press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. “This president, like his predecessors, has done each of these. Individuals claiming former presidents, such as their bosses, called each family of the fallen, are mistaken.”
