Tantrum. Hes contradicting his sons original story about the Trump Tower Meeting with russians saying the purpose was to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. Well, if trumps lied about the purpose of the meeting once it became public, and just over a year ago the president himself dictated the statement to his son saying we primarily discussed the program of adoption of russian children that was popular and active with American Families years ago.

Who are playing with players, oligarchs, that word thats been banned from the courtroom.

that s what he told the cpac audience in march. i am your retribution. that s what he s promising in a return. that s with the image was all about. he s somehow trying to celebrate this image, and his most he s claiming he looks strong, when in fact, this is the weakest possible image. there s so many lies happening this week around trump. you think about his interview with tucker carlson, which he claimed was bigger than the super bowl. we heard the big line in 2020, this is the new little lie trump is coming out. with claiming he s more popular than the fox debates. more popular than a super bowl or oprah winfrey. it s a joke. but it s a joke that s actually self defeating. he s telling his maga base that he is more popular than he actually is. at the end of the day, it s going to be a push comes to shove moment where that is proven not to be true. where actually, he was not more popular in the debate. we can claim it for a while, but the truth can eventually rear its head, and he
