I have gotten to the point where I take the opposite of what trump says as the truth, or something closer to it. If he says he does not know someone them I know he does. Everything is turned around. So far it works great.

When does tRump not lie

Why would anyone expect Trump not to lie. It's in his DNA. He cannot help it.

Of course he lied. That's what he does.
He needs Saudi money. The country doesn't, just 45.
That's why he lies about the arms deal, that's why he lies about Iran.
He needs Saudi money. So he'll say anything he thinks will help him keep getting it. He doesn't care about who they murder.
