From Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged:
There is still a lot I don’t think we know about last weekend— the G-7, where Trump variously lied about why Russia was not part of the conference, why he did not attend the climate portion of the talks, said that Melania Trump has come to know NK’s Kim Jong Un very well when she has never met him, and lied about high-level talks regarding a future trade deal with China. That is an epic quantity of lying, which has been followed by debates by Trump proxies (McEnany, Stu Varney, etc.)
But of course he does. It’s very well documented that he lies. What isn’t as well documented is how well he actually knows what the truth is, and that should be actually concerning. Is he lying because he knows very well what’s going on, but thinks we need to hear a better story, such as the tale that a Chinese trade agreement is coming, so stop tanking the damn stock market already?
Or does he have no clue at all, and we’re just trying to read the tea leaves in a cup of plain tap water?
The real story seems to be frighteningly a bit of both.
