Donald Trump committed perjury. Or he looked into the faces of the Republican faithful and knowingly lied. There is no third option.
It has become an accepted reality of this presidential campaign that Trump spins a near-endless series of falsehoods. For months, the media has struggled with this unprecedented situation—a candidate who, unlike other politicians who stretch the truth, simply creates his own reality. Trumps regularly peddles “facts” that aren’t true, describes events that never happened or denies engaging in actions that everyone saw him do. He utters his falsehoods so fast that before reporters have the chance to correct one, he has tossed out five or six more.
This time, it is different. Trump can’t skip past his perfidy here. There are two records—one, a previously undisclosed deposition of the Republican nominee testifying under oath, and the second a transcript/video of a Republican presidential debate. In them, Trump tells contradictory versions of the same story with the clashing accounts tailored to provide what he wanted people to believe when he was speaking.

They still in business????
I was a subscriber when the issue arrived with the dreadful,slanted cover regarding the Duke Lacrosse case.
I threw it in the trash-——and that was it for me.
Newsweek is trash-—and makes The National Enquirer seem respectable.
See! Trump is no better than hillary.
Wow, all caps headline and no clue to the gist of it in the first few paragraphs. Not a well written hit piece at that.
Agree, you can only imply that that was the case but there is no direct testimony from Trump that he indeed tried to bribe Bush. Bush might make that charge, and then it is a case of he said, he said.
No kidding. And the funny part is that in these desperate times (times brought forth by the rats themselves), even those who would normally be offended by a Trump-type candidate, don't give a rat's a$$.
The goal is survival, to exterminate the vermin. Nobody cares if the Orkin man didn't shave today. Only the rats would point that out, in hopes for a stay of execution.
If they keep on putting out crap like this, I may have to buy them and clean house (if I’m not mistaken, once upon a time the entire Newsweek company sold for $2).
I posted it because it’s hilarious.
“There is no third option. “
Of course not. Not to low IQ liberals at Newsleak.
TID Kitty thought that it was hilarious, too!!!
A nothing burger proceeded by a huge build up of anti-Trump slander.
While Eichenwald has never since hidden his epilepsy, he also didn’t make it a centerpiece of his life. After writing his story, his mission was clear and it was not to become a poster boy for the illness. “My whole life from the time I got sick was focused on making sure that I was a student, a journalist, a husband, and a father,” Kurt tells me. “Not that I was someone with this condition.
Were they this bent out of shape over Benghazi and four American heroes murdered because Hillary left them there to die????
Pretty much.
I don’t want to give Newsweak the click. Can someone summarize the contradiction they are supposed to be pointing out?
Indeed.
And Newsweek’s editors wonder why their circulation is dropping faster than Bubba Clinton’s pants.
