Trump Now Says His Weaponization Fund Was to Compensate People Who Were Abused – By the Media?"},"content":{"rendered":"

It’s getting more difficult every day to keep track of the myriad explanations and excuses that Donald Trump dispenses to the press for whatever calamity happens to be gnawing at his rapidly decomposing brain matter. The problem with trying to comprehend Trump’s explosive diarhetoric is that he continuously alters it fit into his always evolving fantastical version of reality.<\/p>\n

For instance: Tariffs don’t impact American consumers. No, I’m removing some tariffs to help American consumers. And: My vanity ballroom won’t cost taxpayers a penny. No, the ballroom is going to cost a billion dollars for national security. And: I had nothing to do with canceling Stephen Colbert. No, I\u2019ve taken out many bad political pundits including Stephen Colbert<\/a><\/strong>. And: We’re at war with Iran. No, the war is over. No, it wasn’t a war to begin with, it was an excursion. And now Trump is doing the same with his “weaponization”<\/em> slush fund…<\/p>\n

During a press avail at the White House on Thursday, Trump engaged in a brief exchange with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. She asked him about his now abandoned slush fund, and he replied in the typically rude and flagrantly dishonest manner that has become his hallmark.<\/p>\n

Collins:<\/strong> Just to clarify on what you were asked earlier, is the $1.8 billion DOJ fund dead or is it on hold?
\nTrump:<\/strong> It\u2019s \u2014 I\u2019d have to ask the lawyers, I don\u2019t know. I know one thing: The weaponization fund, as far as I\u2019m concerned was a beautiful thing. It was something I was \u2014 I didn\u2019t make it, but I was \u2014 I heard that I thought that was the greatest thing because people like you…have abused our people so badly – Be quiet \u2014 have abused our people so badly and you should be ashamed of yourself. […] CNN does such false reporting, but now they have new ownership, so maybe it\u2019ll straighten it out. I doubt it, but it\u2019s hard to straighten garbage out. But CNN has abused and others have abused so badly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

WTF IS TRUMP TALKING ABOUT?He is not only being grossly disrespectful to Kaitlan Collins of CNN, he is saying that his illegal $1.8 billion "weaponization" fund was to compensate people who were abused by the media. That's a new one from the Demented One.<\/p>\n
