Remember how Putin said he didn't know Trump was in Moscow in 2013?

When President Trump was visiting Moscow back then I didn’t even know he was in Moscow.’ Trump and Putin pictured during Monday’s press conference in Helsinki (Picture: Getty) Putin insisted that he treated Trump with ‘utter respect’ and again denied knowing that the then tycoon was in town during the 2013 trip in question.

But here Trump in 2014 is claiming he met Putin. Who is telling the truth?



Notice how he says "I've done a lot of business with the Russians" and later he denies having done business with Russians.

It's right there in Trump's own words. The Russian Candidate starring Donald J. Trump.

Your link to the Metro doesn't say anything about Trump meeting Putin at all

Even his lying sack of **** son admits that the Trump Org receives much of its funding from Russia as US Banks will not touch Mr Bankruptcy. Jeesh, the Trump Family Crime Syndicate makes the Clintons look almost above board.

My link to the Metro is just for Putin's claim and Trump's claim that they never met each other. But Trump told Letterman that he met Putin.

It's in the video that Trump says he met Putin.

The best defense for Trump is that he was lying about meeting Putin. But then who knows when he's ever telling the truth?
 
I remember Trump or an article saying way back that they were supposed to meet at the beauty pageant or whatever, but it never happened. So, it could of been a white lie of him saying he was supposed to have met him... not really meeting him.

He probably was lying about meeting Putin in 2014. Celebrities do all the time to boost their appeal. I would expect you to understand the entertainment business thou.

How would that be a "white" lie? He either met Putin or he didn't. That's just a lie.

Well, here are more "white lies." Trump in 2013 claimed to have a relationship with Putin.

It's getting harder all the time, isn't it. This responsibility Trump supporters feel for explaining that what he said wasn't what he really meant.
But I have a feeling that these things will soon become trivial when bigger fish are being fried.

Do you think I am making an excuse or something? Because I am not. I'm making a guess he wanted to lie in order to make himself sound more important, that's why I called it a white lie... from what I understand a white lie is a lie that has a hint of truth in it, but you extend it further than what it actually is for your own benefit.

A white lie is telling your wife the tight dress doesn't make her look fat. Harmless lies and lies to avoid hurting people are white lies. Self-aggrandizement is just plain lie.

white lie a harmless or trivial lie, especially one told to avoid hurting someone's feelings.

Sorry if I misunderstood you. In my understanding a 'white lie' is one that doesn't hurt anyone and in fact saves someone from being hurt.

LOL!

Years ago I worked part time in a juke joint. It wasn't a nice place but the money was under the table and it was much needed after my newly ex-ed wife took everything but the blame. I worked weekends behind the bar slinging beer and dodging bullets.

A ex-felon, W.L., who had done 7 years for manslaughter, (killed a man with one punch) sat at the bar in his usual spot late one Saturday afternoon. He was actually a nice guy but he was not a person to be ****ed with.

A lady named Kelly, a regular, walked in and ordered a drink before she headed out to meet a date somewhere. Kelly, dressed in a yellow jumpsuit kind of thing, looked pretty good. She pranced for a minute and looked at W.L. (that's what everyone called him) and said, "W.L., do you thing this makes my ass look too large?"

W.L. took a quick look and said, "No, darling. Your ass is too large."

One quick swing with the beer mug knocked W.L. off the bar stool. We couldn't stop laughing, including W.L.

If a woman fishes for a compliment, give it. The world will be a more peaceful place for having done so. :thumbs: Women are worth it anyway.

It was a lie. Trump has lied about everything, that’s not news. But the book Russian Roulette evidences Trumps pleas and strange concern with meeting Putin, and that Putin’s second broke the news to Trump that Putin could not meet, but that he will send an emissary, and a gift. A box with a letter in it. Anyone can look this up, it’s old news. Problem is the Trump Russia story is so sprawling, people have missed or forgotten more than they remember.

Putin knew who Trump was.

lol. I guess W.L was pretty tough laughing off getting hit by a beer mug.

I'm a Black man, so I've never understood how a woman having a big ass is an insult. :)
 
Putin knew who Trump was.

Putin very intentionally floated that bit about never knowing who Trump was. It's a sly insult. And it's a way to put Trump in his place by backing up his "no collusion" story. This way Trump understand that he can blow his cover any time he wants if Trump doesn't play ball.

Putin is definitely the spy of the century. Trump is the stooge of the century.

So you agree that it is ridiculous to take anything the President says seriously and that he is incapable of telling the truth. Otherwise you ARE making excuses for him. In one way we are now "equal" to Russia since both countries now have leaders that lie constantly and cannot be trusted.

No... I wouldn't go that far. I know he's a lying asshole, and never denied that.
