http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/mexico-denies-trump-claim-that-pena-nieto-called-white-house/ar-AApjz1J?li=BBnb7KzTrump's comment came Monday as he was presenting his new chief of staff, John Kelly, who was moving to the White House job from his role as secretary of Homeland Security, where he oversaw immigration policy and deportations.
Will the popular media ever begin to discern a pattern with that needy little man squatting in the White House?

(29,199 posts)and "yes" people are telling him these things to placate the child president.
"Mr. President Donald... you are the greatest! BTW, the President of Mexico called and told me to tell you that you are doing a great job on immigration!".
But it is more likely that he is just lying about it because his base will never believe the media.

Guess what other phone call he is lying about . . . a call to his lover Pooty Poot. Dipshit phoned Pooty before signing the Russian sanctions bill. This time he's lying about NOT making a phone call . . . to the motherland and Poppa Vova!

(51,590 posts)"The Trump Family Secrets and Lies". I thought that People sort of liked him but if even they are starting to turn then that's a good sign. I don't read it and don't know anyone that does (unless you are in a waiting room at your doctor's office). Do people in red cities follow this stuff seriously? Could this help to make them lower their opinions of him?

(1,148 posts)With that whole email fiasco going public, I wouldn't doubt that Trump really is having these conversations--he just doesn't realize they're prank calls and that he's the joke.
A possibility.

(82,849 posts)Are these just flat-out lies, or does Trump really think these phone calls happened? I'm not sure which alternative is worse.

(192 posts)days", how he would frequently creep up behind a tree and reach around it to slit the throat of a Viet Cong.
After a couple years I happened to meet his mother who lived several states away. I found out he spent his
military service in the Air Force...at radar stations in Texas and Alaska. Never got within 5000 miles of Viet Nam.
The thing is, I think he actually believed that stuff...probably had been telling the stories for years before I even
met him.
