Trump has many people who research and verify all his information. All of his info is confirmed by people he trusts. Every number he cites, every relation or association he mentions, all are verified.
He knows that his information has to be the best because he’s under a microscope for everything he says. He can’t afford to be off on anything. And if he makes a mistake, he must correct immediately.
It’s Ok that people fact check everything Trump says but I find the burden has grown lighter and lighter, that I can now take him pretty much at face value.
Case in point: earlier this year his comments about hundreds of Muslims dancing on the roofs in Jersey City cheering the fall of the twin towers on 9-11 was slammed by every news media outlet everywhere for days and days and days, relentlessly slammed as untrue, that his comments showed bias, prejudice, harsh intolerance, etc.
Back in 2001, there was not a proliferation of camera phones that we see everywhere today, yet the news media said that Trump had no evidence, none whatsoever, and that the reports filed with police precincts about hundreds and hundreds of Muslims celebrating the attack were not reliable and that there was no video evidence.
Well it took a person having a VHS tape a couple of weeks to get it digitized and posted on YouTube to show the Pablo Guzman broadcast, a local NJ news broadcast, where swarms of Muslims were shown dancing on rooftops in NJ in celebration of the attack.
And what did the news media do? They moved on. They had already painted Trump as a liar and a bigot. They didn’t bother retracting, correcting or apologizing. They ignored the Guzman tape. The social media is the force that got the truth out.
And now this news about this Judge and his ties to La Raza. It’s good to check it but more that 9 times out of 10, Trump’s people are going to get it right so that he says things that have been verified.
Nailed it. The astonishing point is not that Trump has the temerity to state this publicly, its that it's most likely true. Would be interesting to see how which judge and which attorneys received this case and the date they received it.
I've no doubt that there were dissatisfied customers from Trump U, but Caveat Emptor -- except in certain cases of senior citizens.
I was waiting for a flight at JFK Thursday night, and CNN was blathering on and on about Trump conflating La Raza with the lawyer group La Raza...Toobin, Cooper, and all of the panelists, except one.
She was trying to explain the connection and the payments for Clinton speeches as well, but they were talking her down.
