Has any news outlet seen or interviewed Meredith McIver?

[HipChick]

Asking because of Trump's history of using aliases, fake people...

[oioioi]

1. Yes, we understand that correspondent John Miller has reliably verified everything

[HipChick]

3. Shot in the dark, but I'm going to guess Meredith McIver is married to John Miller..

In the land of Never Never

[sarae]

8. omg

[RapSoDee]

35. John Miller: Yet another dimension of the darkside now embraced by Republicans

[uponit7771]

2. No but she has a FB page that was created in the last couple of days IIRC

[Gabi Hayes]

4. I got a shot of her the other day

[LaydeeBug]

25. This insults Divine, and therefore, it insults all of Baltimore

Divine was amazing and talented and it is pretty shitty for you to malign her like this. Oh, and for the record, Divine was ten times prettier than any of these right wing script writers because she kept it real.

5. Starting to feel like "The Usual Suspects" isn't it?

New press secretary for Donald Trump, Roger "Verbal" Kint.

[gaspee]

6. Ivanka

Ivanka's fake personality? Like her father's John Baron?

[Avalux]

7. If she's real, I'm sure she's vacationing somewhere fancy on Trump's dime.

Take the fall, get a fat little check.

[whistler162]

9. Probably on a trip to the Pine Barrens!

[Wednesdays]

10. And to think it took them

nearly 48 hours just to come up with that name!

[HipChick]

11. They are FOS

[Iggo]

12. Shitty writers? Shitty lies. (n/t)

[oldtime dfl_er]

13. Can anyone confirm

Whether this is McIver's real twitter account or a spoof account?

15. Whatever it is, it's the funniest fucking thing I've seen all week, and that is saying something.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

14. Slate has an article where they say she's real.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/07/20/yes_meredith_mciver_is_a_real_person_here_s_proof.html

Including an interview in The Guardian that was posted in 2007.

[jcgoldie]

16. I mean

How hard would it be for him to find some sucker to take the fall for what happened? One that actually exists. But he's done this amateur shit before... and why is that damn picture fake?

[oldtime dfl_er]

17. Im not one for conspiracies

But I don't think she's real. Just because there's a long history of the Trump organization using her name, doesn't mean she's real. It seems possible -- plausible, even -- that she's a fictional creation that's been used to blame things on for a long time.

[Rstrstx]

18. Of course she's real!!!

Here's a picture of her from her younger days:

[oldtime dfl_er]

32. umm

You know that's the actress from Amelie, right?

[Rstrstx]

39. That's it! I knew there was a resemblance

[IMG][/IMG]

I guess I'm just jealous, I mean look at all these people she knows and where she's been

[oberliner]

20. She is and you're wrong

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/07/20/yes_meredith_mciver_is_a_real_person_here_s_proof.html

[LaydeeBug]

23. I read this article, and I am not convinced...

someone met her nearly ten years ago?

Is there not a God damned camera near this woman? There's no press conference? Nothing?

Someone says they met her years and years ago and this is proof?

Instagram? Snapchat? Pinterest? FB? Twitter? All the Trump companies and no video anywhere?

This doesn't pass the smell test yet.

[oldtime dfl_er]

31. No it doesn't

Let's go thru Slate's 5 listed "facts" of MM's existence:

1. there's no proof that she doesn't exist -wtf? that's not proof of anything
2. listed as a ghost writer on several Trump books - a name on some book covers is no proof of existence
3. a site called "everipedia" has a (brand new) article about MM, with a ridiculous photo, and it cites nothing older than 3 days ago, with the exception of one entry on another site called "Speakerpedia" that really offers no evidence of any existence.
4. a Guardian writer claims to have met someone answering to the name "Meredith McIver" ONE TIME in 2007.
5. the Slate writer calls it a silly theory - again, no proof of life there.

So at least 2 of those "facts" have no value at ALL (1 and 5). The rest are pretty flimsy as well. Then there are the obviously faked photos on the newly created Twitter account and the newly created Facebook account. And Donald Trump has a history of making up false employees (John Barron, John Miller).

Also this

No, it does not pass the smell test.

[uponit7771]

34. Nope....all 5 points are claims not empirical proof at all... horrible article

[oberliner]

19. Yes

Guardian writer Gaby Wood met McIver during an interview with Trump in 2007:

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/07/20/yes_meredith_mciver_is_a_real_person_here_s_proof.html

[Rstrstx]

21. I believe she is too, but who's doing her fake twitter account?

The fake photoshopped pics are so bad they're hilarious.

[LaydeeBug]

24. So nearly a decade ago someone in the press met someone claiming to be her and that is the proof?

REALLY? Again, I am not yet completely convinced.

[Rex]

22. When dealing with a charlatian like Trump, it is always a good idea to verify first.

Good call HipChick.

[yellerpup]

26. She is real.

My friend in CT knows her and was on hand when Donald called to offer her a job. I can't give you the details because he would destroy her for even mentioning that she was afraid to take it in the first place and that she's more afraid of him now.

[HipChick]

27. Receipts or it didn't happen..

Anyone can claim anything on the internet..

[yellerpup]

30. Believe what you want to believe.

It is not really important in the great scheme of things.

[DawgHouse]

28. It is strange that there don't seem to be any photos of her.

Maybe she's a real ghost, not just a ghost writer!

It seems that someone with such a long Trump career would be photographed at some point. If there is a photo, I haven't seen it.

[imanamerican63]

29. Isn't she, Meliana's imaginary friend?

[a kennedy]

36. I heard Mark Cuban talking to some woman on CNBC about her.....

He said he'd written tRump in e-mails many times, and she'd send him back notes that tRump had written to Mark. He said she was a real stand up woman. ???? Whatever that meant.

[oldtime dfl_er]

40. sounds like it means

there's an email address with the name "Meredith McIver" attached to it. Did he say he'd actually met her? Spoken to her?

[a kennedy]

43. No, I don't think he met her.....was just a e-mail communication. eom.

[spanone]

37. why would our media want to embarrass the donald.....they might get fired

[HipChick]

38. The way it's being handled

is very strange..

[spanone]

42. you really think at least one of the news institutions would like to question this lady....

you'd think

[meow2u3]

41. Gotta be another one of Dirty Donald's alises

"Meredith McIver" is probably the Tangerine Tyrant in drag.
