Trump just threw down a crystal gauntlet, shattered into billions of shards.
Even his diehard loyalists know how absurd his claim is.
The fact is, likely, that narcissist Trump never even wants to listen to anybody ever, so no doubt he usually doesn't hear people on cell phones even if they are in shouting.
Everyone: :crickets:

(11,744 posts)He may also be hard of hearing, but you are correct. It is very easy to listen in on someone's conversation on a cell phone. You have to try hard to keep those conversations private at times.
When I get a call on my cell phone, I usually get up and walk out of the room I am in, if at all possible. 2 reasons. 1. It is rude and disruptive to have a conversation in front of other people like if you are in a meeting, at lunch with a friend/partner/spouse etc... and 2. There may be information in the call that you don't want anyone to hear.
I have said it many times on this website:
Trump is an idiot.

Trump has to lie to make someone else appear to be a liar.

(7,733 posts)He thinks the further the call goes, the louder you have to shout. Trump may have had a little gathering on his end too he wanted to impress.

(24,654 posts)when my sister texted me about the absurd claim.
Seriously, sitting in a cafe setting at a neighboring table. The person on the phone was not on speaker and I could hear clearly that the woman on the other end wanted the man to pick up cough medicine to bring home to their daughter. I wasn't even at the same table!
The CNN folks were ridiculing this when I got in the car later to head home.

Need to pike them all around the W.H. as future examples of what NOT to do?
I feel like an idiot for being put through this obvious charade of changing testimony and dodgy whatevers they throw up?
Put a fork in these turkeys, it's the right time of year?
Ultimately I want no rich people in govt, they are angle shooting selfish assholes, every mf'n one of them.
Talking the hypocrites with 100M plus when they arrive.... Take a look at all those creeps/creepettes?
Check motives at the door....

That said, as someone who has been eavesdropping since I could understand English (secretive parents) I must say, he's lousy at it.
