So...It's inconceivable that the POTUS who encounters lots of new people each day in his job could forget someone 2 years ago and say that he did not know them? DJT is over 70. EVERYONE over the age 50 has problems remembering stuff. This is not going to stick Mensa.

I wondered where all the nutcases were during this trial. All of them are out now getting yanked around like good useful idiots by their MSM handlers.

Not inconceivable at all, but at this point this is obviously Trump's go to any time anything comes out. He obviously knows at least some of these people. I would hope we can at least all agree to that, whether or not any of us think any of this stuff is a crime or an impeachable offense or whatever.

"I don't know them" is just classic CYA and he uses it constantly. It's that or he has dementia, because a lot of people he "never met" he has known since before his presidency. You could likely easily google it and find 20 or 30 people that Trump is on record saying he doesn't know. This isn't some one off

In the last three years, how many people have you talked with that you don't really know? I'd venture to say that it is well over a hundred people.

How many important people in my career / dealing with my business have I met that later I would say I "didn't know"? Has to be near zero. Like I said, maybe he doesn't know a few people he says he doesn't know, but this is obviously a trend. Any time anything bad happens revolving around a person, he just says he doesn't know them. "I don't know them" is just covering your *** ...or maybe he really does have dementia. And I can understand him meeting a ton of people. He probably meets a ton more than any of us ever will in our lifetimes, but this just happens so often at this point.

In the last three years, how many people have you talked with that you don't really know? I'd venture to say that it is well over a hundred people.

I've had the same basketball and football seats for 6 years and most of those around me are the same. But some change every year or every two years. Those that's been there from the start, I know. Those that sit a seat or so away that I talked to once or twice, maybe three or four times over a couple years. I dont know them and probably wouldnt remember their names or what was said.

Now do that for a person that probably meets a thousand or more different people each year. Would they remember 1%,10%, 50% that they spoke to in a meeting one or two times? Only a very select few and even then probably not in the context of "knowing them".

I do know 10 years ago when I was 50 I had better recall than at 60. If I met 1000 people over a year that I talked to once or twice, and then probably briefly. I might go, damn I know that guy, from somewhere if I saw the face. But I wouldnt really "know him"

Some of these idiots understand that but...

That's just a few off the first page of google results. There are likely a lot more

I looked at your bottom link

Quote:“He’s not pretentious. He’s a lot of fun to be with,” Trump told People in 2000, speaking of Andrew. The article also states that Trump and Andrew, as well as Trump’s then-girlfriend Melania Knauss, had “chatted” at a Halloween costume party hosted by Heidi Klum in New York City in 2000.

So they had to go back 20 years to find a time that Trump had "chatted" with the man? You do realize its possible to "know" someone but not know them? It's possible to meet someone, not "know" them?

After that link I really didnt think it was really necessary to look at the others. Let me ask you a question, not knowing how old you are but while in college you went to a party and met and talked to a girl for 5 minutes and this was a girl you never met before then 20 years later someone asked you do you know her...

think you would say yes? If you said no and someone showed you a pitcure from that party with you talking to her. Would that make you a liar?

The one thing the left has failed to do over the last 3 years, figure out when Trump says something its not usually the literal meaning.

example: A person is at a party with Trump he's talking to them. To those of you on the left, Trump must know that person. Trump, I dont "know them" you take it that he's saying he never met the person.

The one thing the left has failed to do over the last 3 years, figure out when Trump says something its not usually the literal meaning.

example: A person is at a party with Trump he's talking to them. To those of you on the left, Trump must know that person. Trump, I dont "know them" you take it that he's saying he never met the person.

Which is exactly what he is implying to people reading the tweet, while simultaneously knowing in the back of his mind that he knows the person and he can use it as an out if ever questioned about it. It's to cover yourself. He's spoken with them. He's met with them. He knows who they are. He may not be best buds and know them super well, but he knows of them.

"Trump doesn't speak literally" just isn't a good defense for this. If you can't take what he says at face value, then that is a big problem. At some point, the POTUS needs to be taken straight up for what he actually says, not for some hidden meaning hidden in the subtext of his speech. People shouldn't have to guess at whether or not the president means what he says. That's dangerous for the position he holds.

When the cops ask you if you know someone, they're not wondering if you were best friends. They want to know if you have ever met with or spoken with the person, or even know who the person is. He tweets about many of these people and then later when something bad happens revolving them he says he has never heard of them/has never met them/doesn't know them. That is just classic use of CYA

Finally, referring to that one article you read, Trump has met Prince Andrew many times. That was just one example of a time when he met him. He talked with Prince Andrew just last year. You're going to tell me you wouldn't recall that you had met royalty? It's just laughable at this point.

And I'm sure some of these smaller fry people he probably doesn't remember meeting, so I'll give him lenience on that. Maybe he doesn't know this businessman.

The issue is is that there's just so much of a trend at this point to know what to believe in regards to who he does and doesn't know. I mean...just actually read the Time article. Trump clearly contradicts himself repeatedly on who he does and doesn't know. He just says whatever suits him at the time for the situation. Or like I said, he has dementia. It's one of the two based on how often it has happened.

RE: Recording:Trump talking with indicted businessmen the President has said doesn’t know
I like how the news reporter COMPLETELY mischaracterizes the exchange. Sounds at first like they are talking about what Ukraine needs to happen to push the rebels out of their country. The guy says the Ukraine has everything they need--maybe could use a few things from US--but if they tried it, Russia was mess up their economy. Trump says how long could Ukraine last in a fight with Russia and the guy says---not long without the US (lol...the other guy says about 30 minutes). Moron news reporter then cuts in and explains that they are discussing the aid package. No--they werent. They were obviously discussing how long Ukraine could hold out against Russia without US military kinetic intervention. Because the aid package aint that big. If Ukraine can only hold out 30 minutes before the aid package, then its maybe an hour after the aid package.

I would hope we can at least all agree to that, whether or not any of us think any of this stuff is a crime or an impeachable offense or whatever.

"I don't know them" is just classic CYA and he uses it constantly. It's that or he has dementia, because a lot of people he "never met" he has known since before his presidency. You could likely easily google it and find 20 or 30 people that Trump is on record saying he doesn't know. This isn't some one off

In the last three years, how many people have you talked with that you don't really know? I'd venture to say that it is well over a hundred people.

How many important people in my career / dealing with my business have I met that later I would say I "didn't know"? Has to be near zero. Like I said, maybe he doesn't know a few people he says he doesn't know, but this is obviously a trend. Any time anything bad happens revolving around a person, he just says he doesn't know them. "I don't know them" is just covering your *** ...or maybe he really does have dementia. And I can understand him meeting a ton of people. He probably meets a ton more than any of us ever will in our lifetimes, but this just happens so often at this point.

May 3, 2019 / Random people Trump says he doesn't know: https://time.com/5582741/donald-trump-ne...esnt-know/

Nov 17, 2019 / Ukraine Investigation: https://www.axios.com/trump-doesnt-know-...48851.html

Dec 4, 2019 / Prince Andrew: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-...d-n1096081

That's just a few off the first page of google results. There are likely a lot more

I looked at your bottom link

Quote:“He’s not pretentious. He’s a lot of fun to be with,” Trump told People in 2000, speaking of Andrew. The article also states that Trump and Andrew, as well as Trump’s then-girlfriend Melania Knauss, had “chatted” at a Halloween costume party hosted by Heidi Klum in New York City in 2000.

So they had to go back 20 years to find a time that Trump had "chatted" with the man? You do realize its possible to "know" someone but not know them? It's possible to meet someone, not "know" them?

After that link I really didnt think it was really necessary to look at the others. Let me ask you a question, not knowing how old you are but while in college you went to a party and met and talked to a girl for 5 minutes and this was a girl you never met before then 20 years later someone asked you do you know her...

think you would say yes? If you said no and someone showed you a pitcure from that party with you talking to her. Would that make you a liar?

The one thing the left has failed to do over the last 3 years, figure out when Trump says something its not usually the literal meaning.

example: A person is at a party with Trump he's talking to them. To those of you on the left, Trump must know that person. Trump, I dont "know them" you take it that he's saying he never met the person.

Which is exactly what he is implying to people reading the tweet, while simultaneously knowing in the back of his mind that he knows the person and he can use it as an out if ever questioned about it. It's to cover yourself. He's spoken with them. He's met with them. He knows who they are. He may not be best buds and know them super well, but he knows of them.

"Trump doesn't speak literally" just isn't a good defense for this. If you can't take what he says at face value, then that is a big problem. At some point, the POTUS needs to be taken straight up for what he actually says, not for some hidden meaning hidden in the subtext of his speech. People shouldn't have to guess at whether or not the president means what he says. That's dangerous for the position he holds.

When the cops ask you if you know someone, they're not wondering if you were best friends. They want to know if you have ever met with or spoken with the person, or even know who the person is. He tweets about many of these people and then later when something bad happens revolving them he says he has never heard of them/has never met them/doesn't know them. That is just classic use of CYA

Finally, referring to that one article you read, Trump has met Prince Andrew many times. That was just one example of a time when he met him. He talked with Prince Andrew just last year. You're going to tell me you wouldn't recall that you had met royalty? It's just laughable at this point.

And I'm sure some of these smaller fry people he probably doesn't remember meeting, so I'll give him lenience on that. Maybe he doesn't know this businessman.

The issue is is that there's just so much of a trend at this point to know what to believe in regards to who he does and doesn't know. I mean...just actually read the Time article. Trump clearly contradicts himself repeatedly on who he does and doesn't know. He just says whatever suits him at the time for the situation. Or like I said, he has dementia. It's one of the two based on how often it has happened.

In the words of Clinton, it depends what the meaning of "is" is. What does "knowing" someone mean? There are people I might know by sight because I see them behind the register at Chic Filet a couple of times a week. I dont know their name at all, and I might not even recognize them if I saw them outside of Chic Filet in another context. So, if someone asks if I know Zoe Benard---Id say "no". Then the reporter could go on TV and show video of me buying a sandwich from her multiple times at Chic Filet. Well, hell---I don't know that chick. Yeah, she looks vaguely familiar, but I still wouldnt say I "know" her.

The president literally goes to 1000's of fundraisers and events every year. Zero chance he remembers every persons name and face that he's ever seen or talked to. The clerk at Chic Filet is about the equivalent of being at some of these fund raisers when it comes to the president. I guarantee, he's had conversations similar to that one at hundreds of events with thousands of people. Im sure he's extremely appreciative of the financial support, but there is just no way for the guy to form a personal relationship with every donor who attends one of these fund raisers. This is a red herring---the kind of thing you make a big deal out of when you've got nothing else. If you looked this closely at Bidens crooked dealings he'd been jail years ago. In fact---the EXACT same thing happened to Biden when he said he didnt know any Burisma executives---then pictures surfaced of him playing golf with his son and other Burisma execs.
