Trump: makes incorrect claim
Moderator: Actually there is no evidence that happened
Trump: well I saw it on TV! Someone said it on TV! Someone wouldn't just go and say something on TV if it wasn't true!
Shouldn't the president of the country have a bit of higher standard of evidence than "I saw someone say it on TV"?
"But I saw it on TV!" says the man currently saying untrue things on TV.
Someone wouldn’t just go and say something on TV if it wasn’t true!
Not to mention the guy who popularized the term "fake news" back during his first campaign.
This was one of the many frustrating things about his Presidency. So many times he was reporting on what "someone" was saying was going on in the government. Motherfucker, you've got a big slice of the government working for you. Why don't you find out from them what's going on?
He spent a lot of his presidency watching Fox News and ignoring his briefings. Staff figured out pretty quickly that he likes pictures and compliments and tried to use those to help him get through minutes of material.
Because when he does that, they tell him things he doesn't like to hear (the truth).
Especially since he's probably the person who said it on TV. But, to answer your question, of course the president should have a higher standard, and the people should hold him to it. For some reason this asshole is still around despite being a living parody.
Worse is my coworkers ranting about how biased the moderator was
