Fact check: Trump denies saying something he said on camera five days ago

Trump on Monday falsely denied making a comment he had made on camera just five days prior. Then he launched a personal attack against the reporter who had accurately repeated his previous remark.

Trump has a long history of falsely denying he ever said things he had said in public.

The subject of his latest false denial was the video footage of the September 2 US military strikes against a suspected drug-smuggling boat in the Caribbean. The military conducted a follow-up strike to kill the people who had survived the first strike.

The Trump administration publicly released the video of the initial strike but not the video of the follow-up strike, which has been shown to members of Congress behind closed doors. On December 3, Trump said he has no problem releasing this video to the American people.

3. Why doesn't he just fucking die already?

4. Because nobody's yet figured out how to keep his headstone from being a national public urinal.

And yes, I'm already planning on paying the fine. It'll be the first Big Gulp I've bought in 30 years.
