Video surfaces refuting Trump's claim that he's never called someone 'retarded'
President Trump claimed this week that he had never used the word “retarded” to describe Attorney General Jeff Sessions — or anyone else — in an attempt to rebut one of the details included in the forthcoming Bob Woodward book that paints a harrowing portrait of his presidency.
Since then, video and transcripts have surfaced proving the president wrong.
Trump’s claim about Sessions came in a Tuesday tweet, in which he wrote: “The already discredited Woodward book, so many lies and phony sources, has me calling Jeff Sessions ‘mentally retarded’ and ‘a dumb southerner.’ I said NEITHER, never used those terms on anyone, including Jeff, and being a southerner is a GREAT thing. He made this up to divide!”

Trump, in fact, used the term “mentally retarded” during a 2004 appearance on “The Howard Stern Show” when discussing a conversation he had with an unnamed “golf pro” about how much he should make for hosting his NBC reality series, “The Apprentice.”
According to a clip from the show, Trump made a comparison between his salary and those of the cast of the popular NBC comedy series “Friends.”
