Trump In Denial About Poor Standing on World Stage


June 5, 2019 at 10:53 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Washington Post: “Instead of recognizing the public’s expressions of anger, which included a 20-foot-tall, diaper-clad ‘Trump baby’ blimp flying above Parliament Square, the 45th president has adopted a different tactic — denial.”

Said Trump: “I heard there were protests. I said, ‘Where are the protests?’ I don’t see any protests. I did see a small protest today when I came — very small. So a lot of it is fake news, I hate to say.”

“Trump’s efforts to minimize opposition to his presidency on the first stop of a week-long tour of three European nations represented his latest attempt to misrepresent his public standing and rewrite perceptions about the popularity of his agenda.”

He knows about the protests - he lies about it. By lying about them, his supporters can now feel good in their denial.
