The latest person to find themselves in the crosshairs of Donald Trump’s twitter act is prominent Iowa evangelical Bob Vander Plaats. The specific accusation that Trump leveled against Vander Plaats is that Vander Plaats asked for $100K to arrange for Trump to come speak at an Iowa event that he, generously, was willing to do. Vander Plaats’ response was that it was Trump, in fact, who was paid the massive speaking fee, and that he (Vander Plaats) got nothing.
As you find more often than not when Trump calls someone else a liar, the facts demonstrate that in fact it is Trump who is telling a bald faced lie. The Des Moines Register asked the event hosts to look at any documents they had for the event, and the company complied:

Records & company officials confirm @bobvanderplaats is correct – Trump charged $100k for appearance in Iowa last yr https://t.co/1eMUgAn4vj - Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) January 26, 2016 |

Peoples Co. paid Trump $100,000 to speak at Land Investment Expo in Iowa in Jan 2015. Was Bob Vander Plaats’ idea, but he got no $ in return - Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) January 26, 2016 |
This confirms that Vander Plaats was being 100% truthful – that he set up the meeting as a way for Trump to introduce himself to Iowa voters, and got paid absolutely nothing. His thanks for having done this favor (and earned Trump a hefty speaking fee) is for Trump to lie about him on Twitter.
It’s bad enough that Trump is a fake conservative and that he constantly says ridiculous things that are damaging the GOP brand forever. It’s bad enough that he constantly covers for Hillary every time she has a bad news cycle. He’s also a terrible person and a pathological liar.
Verbal contracts are valid too
I'll NEVER be able to vote for Trump, now!!!
Doesn’t smell right.
Trump never said Vander Plaats was paid $100,000 only that he asked for $100,000.
In before the TRUMP (PRAISE HIS NAME) apologists & WORSHIPPERS.
Your non stop dedicated anti Trump posts makes me think you’re getting a 100K fee.
DT projects *everything* he is or does onto his competitors and foes.
Red state lied that I was going to see Trump if I came to their confab that advertised Trump was going to be there.
They disinvited him just hours after we all showed up and didn’t give us money back
Red State lies its head off about Trump at least five times a day. You’d think they’d be getting a bit tired of it. But I guess that’s their main purpose in life.
Hillary gets $250k & Trump took a measly $100k?
He should be ashamed...if it were true
Red State? Nah........
maybe they’re lying
Give Trump a break. Vander Platts is an obstacle to The Donald’s nomination, and he must be destroyed. Surely you can understand this. If you can’t, we have ways to MAKE you understand!
As all liberals do.
Wave Maggie’s Red Draws, RedState flag
That is way too old ...get some new material
.
Trump prevaricated, how shocking...
Red State propaganda.
Redstate has been thoroughly discredited in everything regarding Trump . Redstate lies and you post their propaganda
