In fact he is lying. He was there all the time. What about his grand entrance to introduce his wife?
He is a piece of shit.

How can we forget the dry ice entrance on Monday, the video on Tuesday, and the stroll in
during the Cruz speech on Wednesday.

...involved telling his minions to make it as vulgar and flashy as Trump Towers, but with no follow through.

of course he's lying, or at least, he's telling the truth in only the narrow sense that he wasn't the producer of the show. he just had a yuuuuge interest in making it a success and called on many people he hoped would make it so but was turned down.

but hey, chachi said yes, so, at least he's got that working for him.

more to the point of his statement, though, if he didn't go the way he wanted, why the hell didn't he do more to make sure it would be a success?

Didn't he promise a "tremendous" convention? Wasn't he bragging that he got the biggest ratings and bounce in history?

LMAO! Oh, republicans, what have you done to yourselves?!

Donald Trump is out of touch with reality. He lives in the bubble of his present and the only past he knows is the one he invents inside his bubble.

Donald Trump is an idiot.
