Trump denies he called Meghan Markle 'nasty' despite audio of remark

President Donald Trump is insisting he did not call British royal Meghan Markle "nasty" during an interview with a British publication.

"I never called Meghan Markle 'nasty,'" Trump tweeted Sunday morning. "Made up by the Fake News Media, and they got caught cold! Will @CNN, @nytimes and others apologize? Doubt it!"

But an audio recording of Trump's interview with The Sun — which was tweeted out by a Trump campaign account — tells a different story.

The president is first questioned about the America former actress' past comments calling Trump "misogynistic" and "divisive" during the 2016 campaign and saying she might move to Canada if Trump was elected.

"She said she would move to Canada if you got elected. It turned out she moved to Britain," the interviewer says to Trump, who is visiting the United Kingdom this week.

"Well, that'd be good," Trump responded. "There are a lot of people moving here. So, what can I say? No, I didn't know that she was nasty."

to call him on his delusional lie face to face?

Somehow I doubt it.

Why are people so damn afraid of him?

He is a pathetic, albeit dangerous, joke

(guess I answered my own question)

to do something about it!
*Refuse to meet with him (probably the most "civil" thing to do).
*Issue a statement calling him a "dotard" and still meet with him (oh, watch IQ45 handle THAT one!).
*Carry on with the planned meeting and when he's within striking distance, plant a very solid, strong right hook to that bloated orange face under the wild hayfield.

Personally, I'm wishing for the last one!

They could never call him on his bullshit? Every parent/husband needs to get brought down to earth periodically.

My ex wife was exactly like this. She would lie constantly. Even when she was recorded and the audio was played back she would still deny it. She claimed I was twisting her words. It was remarkable really.
