Trump denies offering $1 million for Warren DNA test, even though he did

[Mrs. Overall]

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Monday denied that he offered Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) $1 million to take a test proving her Native American heritage, even though he did just that.

Trump spoke after Warren responded to the president's challenge and released the results of a DNA test showing she has a distant Native ancestor.

"I didn't say that. You'd better read it again," Trump told reporters at the White House when asked about his $1 million offer.

Responding to a question about Warren's test, Trump said, "Who cares?"

During a campaign rally on July 5, Trump taunted Warren for her claims of Native American ancestry, a staple of his campaign stump speeches.

"I will give you a million dollars, paid for by Trump, to your favorite charity, if you take the test and it shows you’re an Indian," Trump said at the time. "I have a feeling she will say 'no.' "

1. So he's not going to pay eh?

What a shock.

[cstanleytech]

20. Agreed, he is well known for weaseling out of paying his debts.

[calimary]

29. Of course not. That's his pattern.

Just ask all the contractors and subcontractors he’s stiffed over the years.

[ChiTownDenny]

49. He sued Bill Maher.

Maher said he would give $1M to a charity of his choice if Trump could produce a birth certificate proving he wasn't the offspring of two orangutans. Trump produced his birth certificate. Warren should sue.

2. The con man lies and denies but fails to govern.

Trump the worst president that has ever occupied the White House.

[Timmygoat]

3. What a repulsive huan being

I hope every reporter tackles him on it.

[Botany]

4. "Take the test and I will give a million $s to your favorite charity paid for by Trump."

[dalton99a]

6. Yep.

[cstanleytech]

21. Well its hardly a surprising reversal for him as he is well known as a deadbeat.

[calimary]

30. Yep. There it is. Cue the video, donald.

[dalton99a]

5. Nothing but lies and deception

every damn day

[NCjack]

7. Orange Deadbeat. I hope Warren hires a badass lawyer to pursue

collection of Trump's wager in court. Show again that his word is not his bond -- he is a deadbeat.

[SCVDem]

34. Avenati? nt

[Julian Englis]

8. This tells the world what his word is worth. I hope she sues him. n/t

[ginnyinWI]

31. I think that was the whole point she was trying to make just before the Midterms.

That he's nothing but a big fat liar. She wants to poke some holes in him with the independents and undecideds. Or maybe just increase turnout.

[Achilleaze]

9. Lying is a sin. He*s going to lose the republican kristofacist vote for sure.

Not.


* aka republican Draft-dodger-in-Chief

[gopiscrap]

10. I sure there is a tape some where

[elmac]

11. the fascists keep our candidates busy defending themselves on these absurd issues

when they should be talking about issues that matter, they should just ignore them and go after the fascists for trying to kill ACA, SS and all that matters.

[Dave Starsky]

16. It's just another example of how lies his ass off constantly.

He makes wild boasts that he has absolutely no attention of backing up.

He's a massive compulsive liar who simply cannot be trusted on ANY subject, let alone those you mention.

[Downtown Hound]

12. I agree Trump, who cares?

Oh wait, you do. And you did. And so did your moronic cult of dumb shits who wouldn't let the issue go and mocked her every chance you got. You cared a lot when she had no proof. You mockingly called her "Pocahontas."

And now that she has proof to back up her claims, you suddenly say, "Who cares?"

I remember bullies like this in school. The difference is, most of them grew out of it when they got older. Trump never did.

[yuiyoshida]

13. Hundreds of Witnesses... and still his base believe him

smh.

[Dave Starsky]

17. Hundreds of witnesses? He's on live recorded video saying this.

The whole world knows he's lying.

[yuiyoshida]

25. Everyone knows he IS lying but his BASE LOVE IT ...they DON'T CARE...

They adore him, and he has taught them to absolutely HATE Democrats and Liberals. 30% of this COUNTRY treats him like A FUCKING GOD.

[calimary]

35. They like it that their racism and grudges and resentment

against who-the-fuck-knows-whom/why/what-for have been normalized and validated by trump. They like how they no longer have to worry about hurting someone’s feelings if they say or do something mean and insulting. They see him do it night after night and rally after rally, and hell, not only didn’t he have to pay any penalties for it, he freakin’ won! A “role model” is born. And hey, now WE have our very own “patron saint”. He does it and nothing happens to him, so then why can’t I? Why shouldn’t I?

They like not being “burdened” by having to behave themselves and be polite and keep their shitty attitudes to themselves. They like how it’s now okay to let their shittier selves be out ‘n’ proud, and not feeling forced to apologize for it. They like how it’s finally okay to “be themselves” - rude, thoughtless, racist, sexist, homophobic, misogynistic, selfish, and greedy. That stuff is what they were always told to suppress or get beyond. All those “now be NICE!!!” reminders and admonishments that your mom or grandma or your teachers told you never to say, or that you’re not supposed to do or be. HERE’s a guy who says it’s okay! Go ahead and be as beastly and shitty and indulge your worst instincts. It’s okay to be thoughtless and selfish and in-yer-face mean. It’s okay to let all your prejudices out of the closet and into the open - and even to be proud of them.

And if some dumb librul says that isn’t nice, then it’s okay to get right in their faces with it. As I’ve begun to notice more and more, in op-eds and other think pieces, cruelty is in, now. It’s okay, even expected, to be nasty toward those who tell you not to be that way. And if you made one of those stupid libruls unhappy, then all the better.

Hmmm... no wonder the description “deplorables” came up. They certainly ARE.

[yuiyoshida]

39. You are so right...

l keep thinking of ALEX JONES being the perfect example of Trump and his way about doing things.

[Dave Starsky]

38. No argument with me on any of that.

Ronald Reagan made greed, formerly something that was viewed with disdain as being sinful, into a VIRTUE. Trump has kicked that into overdrive. He has made it not only virtuous, but STYLISH, to be a thoroughly despicable person in every possible way.

He is reverting us all the way back to less than apes, in the span of a few short years.

[Bengus81]

14. Skip to 2:05 and listen to the LIAR in Chief...

[rurallib]

15. Promises made, promises broken

as per usual

[niyad]

18. Boastfully self-admitted sexual predator in chief suffers from the same problem many pukes have--

they simply do NOT--despite the evidence--understand that if it is in print, on film, or on the internet, spoken, whatever. . . SOMEONE has a copy of it.

[erpowers]

19. I Like The Full Headline

With all these media outlets letting Donald Trump say whatever he wants without being challenged it is nice to see a news organization point out that Trump is not telling the truth.

[calimary]

37. Took 'em long enough.

The fact-checking should have been all over everywhere THREE years ago. Right when he started down this misbegotten path. But he was such an anomaly that I guess it was just fun or comical or something. So nobody was being a watchdog.

And look where we are now.

He’ll, it’s taken ages for the press even to use the word “lie” to apply to trump.

I remember when NOBODY in the media dared to call it a lie when bush/cheney was spouting nothing but, about the Iraq War. At one shamefully pathetic point, I think it was the New York Times that finally ran the ridiculously flaccid headline “Prevaricating President?” Made me want to vomit. “Prevaricating President?”??????? WTF???? You’re THAT afraid to say it flat-out - that bush/cheney LIED???? WTFFF???

I lost respect for the NYTimes right then and there. What a disgrace. They kinda snapped out of it when faced with the lie-per-minute shit spew from trump. Too hard to play coy about it at that point, and they finally started keeping count of how many of his lies rained down hour-by-hour on all of us. Finally. Better late than never, I guess. But “too late” is probably more accurate by now.

[beachbum bob]

22. did any one expect his word was going to matter?

come on now......doesn;t mean we can;t mock him and his people

23. First you say you do, then then you don't...

That tune will always make me feel like I'm wandering the Wastelands ...

24. He doesn't have a million,

unless he can take it from his foundation of other people's money that is under investigation.

[tblue37]

26. Kellyann calls it "junk science," so just as with Obama's birth certificate, no amount of

actual proof will ever be enough for these yahoos.

Kellyann 's face as she claimed the test was not valid (from the Raw Story piece on her claim):

‘Junk science’: Kellyanne Conway blows off Elizabeth Warren’s Native American DNA test results

[onethatcares]

41. true fact

beauty is only skin deep but ugly is to the bone.

You can tell me that's wrong to say but that pic shows ugly through and through.

[CTyankee]

45. WTF is the matter with YOU, Kellyanne? You stand there outside the White House and lie your

ass off. It's disgusting.

[Grins]

28. He'd welch on that just like he did with Veterans.

"I will give you a million dollars..."

Said the guy who, since 2006, never donated even one dollar to his bogus "Foundation".

Said the guy who - only under media pressure - finally gave the $1 million to a nonprofit group helping veterans’ families he had promised.

Said the guy who said he would send proceeds from sales of his shitty vodka to the Walter Reed Society, that recalls receiving “a few hundred dollars.”

Said the guy who pledged to give his book royalties to fight AIDS and multiple sclerosis, but gave less to them than to his daughter’s ballet school.

Said the guy who used $258,000 from his charity to pay for his personal legal problems.

Said the guy who used his "charitable" foundation's money to purchase a portrait - of himself.

Said the guy who paid an IRS penalty for an illegal donation from his foundation to an Attorney General who was considering suing him - and then didn't!

Said the guy whose "Donald J. Trump Foundation" was used as his personal bank account.

Said the guy who, personally, made ONE donation between 2008 and 2015 (7 years) - a gift of less than $10,000 to the Police Athletic League in NYC.

Said the guy who paid $130,000 in hush-money to a porn actress and then demanded the money back.

[TomVilmer]

32. ... If you're an Indian

Warren just had this connection way back in her family tree, so this is this pretty easy for Trump to talk his way out of - Warren is not "an Indian. though his claim usually was more simple. Like the birth certificate, such fights are impossible to win.

[TeamPooka]

33. TRUMP LIES AGAIN is a better headline TheHill editors.

[duforsure]

36. Another trump denial

He should just create a department of denial for himself now, and save having to repeat it himself so often so he can focus on things of importance to him, like golf, and undermining all the investigation that'll expose all his corruption . People are wising up to this career con man tactics and denials he uses all the time to deflect anything bad with. Crooks ad con men are good at this, like trump is.

[Vinca]

40. She should sue his orange ass for the money for charity.

[chowder66]

42. Welcher. nt

[miffelplix]

43. I'm still waiting for test that proves Trump is a human being.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

44. Lying sack of shit

[RVN VET71]

46. He'll pay up the day after Sean Hannity gets waterboarded!

[Marcuse]

48. He can't spell DNA.

[Amimnoch]

50. Shocking... just shocking...

22 women accusing him of sexual assault/harrassment/misconduct, but he’s totally innocent.
If elected, he’s going to lead the investigation into those allegations against him to clear his name.
There is no Russian collusion, but there is, but it’s not illegal.
He won the most electoral college votes since Reagan.. but didn’t.
“Murder rate is the highest it’s been in 45 years”.. when it’s at a historical low.

FFS, I could go on all day long with the shear volume of Orange Hitler’s lies.

[Kajun Gal]

51. Of course he lied. As Judge Judy says, if his mouth is moving...
