Trump backs off false Iran video claim
CNN ^ | 08-05-2016

Posted on 08/05/2016 5:17:47 AM PDT by ToxicMich

Donald Trump backed off a false claim Friday morning, admitting he had not seen a video of a $400 million payment being unloaded from a US plane in Iran.

The Republican nominee had claimed at rallies twice this week that such a video existed, saying in Maine on Thursday that it was provided by Iranians "to embarrass our president because we have a president who's incompetent."

Donald’s fine. Stupid media hypes the trivial detail of the plane video, low-info voters learn there WAS a plane paying off Iran. Trump’s been doing this stuff for over a year.

When is CNN going to announce that Clinton is backing off her frequently repeated claim that the FBI said she was totally truthful with them about her emails?

It seems to me that Clinton is being allowed to run a non-campaign, consisting only of fundraisers, “organizing events”, almost no rallies, and those she does have are small, all interspaced by long periods of inactivity on her part. She hasn’t had a press conference in close to 250 days, and has given only the most gentle of one on one interviews. Her primary campaign appears to be the effort of the media to destroy Trump.

Exactly!

Media: "So you admit you didn't see a video of the plane carrying 400 million dollars to Iran?"

Trump: "I admit that I didn't see a video of the plane carrying 400 million dollars to Iran. Just the one in Geneva with the hostages."

Media: "Ha! So you were wrong. The video was of the hostages landing, not the ransom being paid."

Trump: "You got me there. The video is just the hostage plane, not the plane with the 400 million dollars in ransom that Obama paid."

Viewers: "Wait. Whhuuut? Obama gave 400 million dollars to terrorists?"

“Her primary campaign appears to be the effort of the media to destroy Trump.”

I heard some doofus on the news say that Clinton did not have to do anything to try to destroy Trump because he was doing a much better job than her on that front.

He is not self-destructing! He is being real and he tells it like it is! Watch out when he becomes president, he is going to be such a badass. Why do you think he asked THREE TIMES about the nukes! Things are going to be very hot in some places... lol...

going forward,that will be all required of any POTUS candidate run by the Democrats; Republicans, as a party, appear to be dead in the water, victims of seething, irrational hatred...

Saw the ABC GMA version this AM.
After all the blah blah blah about wrong plane video the 'journalist', think it was Tom Llamas said this.
'Trump said the $400mil was a ransom payment and clearly it wasn't.'
Used the word 'clearly'.

Clearly he's wrong.

It's not about a plane....It's about negotiating with terrorists....

Kinda like the 5 pieces of scum traded for a traitor. That's not negotiating with terrorists? Not exactly a prisoner exchange. Where is that little scum bag?

Yup. He just snookered the media into reporting that the plane did go to Iran.
