Trump's comments on the Beirut blast.

He made up on the fly that he spoke with "the top Generals" and that they thought it had to be a "bomb" of some kind. MSNBC announced that he didn't have any meeting with any generals. And if he did no one with any sense would have told him that.

He makes up lies in mid-sentence. He makes up lies about global politics that can have a detrimental effect on our allies.

This incident at his "press conference" is one more piece of evidence that Trump is absolutely batshit crazy and a danger to the entire planet.

I wish he would be forced to appear in the world criminal court in the Hague to face multitudes of charges and be locked away during the whole process.
Starting now.

Oh sure, a lot of people were killed and hurt by this explosion, but stop thinking about that and pay attention to Needy Amin! It's all about him, as usual. He and his top generals* know it was really a bomb!

*"Who?" Top. Generals.

was also pushing the "It was a bomb" before Trump's statement, which makes me wonder if the generals he got his information from were Russian generals, or someone in Russia promoting the idea this was an attack.

I wonder if Russia Today is a daily must read for DJT? Maybe Putin gives him his daily talking points on how to frame world-wide events.

It is obvious he is lying whenever he mentions the "Top X" said something.

That is what a grifter says, "The Top Car People say it's good to have a little extra oil all over your engine." "The Top Food Industry folks say green and purple mold makes your potatoes even more delicious! It's a delicacy in Albania!"

It is one of his obvious lie tells.
