I remember thinking how weird it was that he called them out on being late due to technical issues.
It's not the first time he's complained about technical stuff. But being a fearful little weirdo about facts getting in the way of his talking points is also on brand.
Blaming technical issues is a seemingly reasonable explanation people wouldn't really think twice about as long as it's not an excuse being used all the time.
However, being exposed as lying about that brings every previous reasonable claim into question. Were there actually issues then? Or was it just Trump's fee-fees being hurt because he was scared?
He likes to blame his going off script on bad teleprompters not working right. He uses it as an excuse to not pay vendors. He's just a creep who likes to use it as an excuse for literally everything he can.
Because he's a weak weird little liar who can't handle the slightest amount of push back.
Well, technically, Trump is a weird guy with a lot of issues.
Why would he pass an opportunity for thinly veiled racism?
Holy shit I get to say it in legitimate usage:
Way to bury the lede.
Not in the headline. Not in the subhead. Last sentence in the first paragraph after the ads and grovelling is why.
The NABJ had arranged for Trump’s interview to be simultaneously fact-checked online in collaboration with Politifact. At one point, Trump’s team requested that the NABJ not post fact-checking to its social media accounts, or allow the moderator to discuss the fact-checking on stage, according to Lemon.
“Our whole team stood our ground,” Lemon told Axios.
So they were late because this grifter didn't want to be fact-checked but he still chose to complain about the late start on stage. Absolutely absurd.
