Sarah Huckleberry Sanders spoke venomously and harshly when answering a question posed by an unnamed journalist on Friday. The question came after cameras were shut down and the journalist trapped her with his question: "That is absolutely untrue, and everyone should know that without asking. There is absolutely no truth to any rumor regarding the President and the White House goat. That goat is only here to supply milk for a cow's milk sensitive person in residence. I'm shocked that anyone would imply any carnal connection between the President of the United States and a filthy goat. Shame on you! That's just disgustingly incorrect. "
I guess she told him, eh?
Disclaimer: This story is not true. There is no truth to this rumor. It is a falsehood entirely. Nothing about it is even close to true. The President has been nowhere near that goat.
{Psst, Sarah, is that a good enough denial, do you think?}

(28,979 posts)So finally she gets to deny a real falsehood. Funny it sounds no different that when she insists the truth is a lie.

(146,284 posts)Clearly, nothing untoward has ever happened in that regard. I only posted to make that clear, out of an abundance of caution.

I wonder if that would finally be too much for the evangelicals .... ?
.... if Putin had a tape of that ....

(146,284 posts)I'm telling you. Nothing. There was no interspecies contact. Not true. It was completely denied.

(10,122 posts)As well, I have had the misfortune more than once of encountering folks in the act with beasts ... life is stronger than fiction.
Saw one of the women on the View I think it was commenting how the Stormy Daniels scandal did not shock or surprise her - like she had reached a point with Trump where nothing would shock her any more. If Trump was doing it with a goat, like that lady, I'm kind of beyond being shocked by him. There's been so much outrageous stuff go on that i'm kind of getting numb to it all.

(16,254 posts)when he hinted about a current affair...read between the lines and referred to the back door? A goat would be much cheaper than a porn star and not as picky. Just sayin'.
MineralMan
(146,284 posts)To be clear, any such rumors are strongly denied by the White House. Vehemently, even. For that, we have to take their word, I think.

(16,296 posts)Trump is at Mar-Largo , sitting with a group at a table. He seems downtrodden and depressed. A friend asks him why so long-faced.
"I won the election, by a huge landslide. Will they give me credit- NO. Will they call me , 'Don-the Winner'? - No"
He continued-
"I am a genius, a super genius. I invent words. Will they call me 'Don-The Wordsmith'? No"
He gazed off and mumbled:
"I saved the coal industry. Saved it with the force of my character. Will they call me 'Don-The Coal Savior' ? No"
"But let them catch you in the pantry with a goat----"

(146,284 posts)President Lincoln kept two goats, which were favorites of Tad.
Benjamin Harrison, too, had a pet goat, which his children used to pull a cart. Here's a photo:
So, you see, White House goats are a harmless, innocent tradition.
