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.
Fake News CNN is at it again, falsely claiming President Trump called Meghan Markle "nasty." Here is what he actually said. Listen for yourself! pic.twitter.com/kLuPXBLMhf— Official Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) June 1, 2019
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."
The president went on to say he thought it was "nice" that an American had married into the British royal family.
"I think it's nice, and I'm sure she'll do excellently," he said. "She'll be very good. She'll be very good. I hope she does."
Many were quick to point out that Trump had, in fact, said Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was "nasty" about him.
You're absolutely right...except for that bit where he calls her nasty. https://t.co/nyOagyATEe— Alan Fisher (@AlanFisher) June 1, 2019
Trump supporters call the media liars, by tweeting video proving the reporting was accurate. In this video posted, the President literally calls Markle nasty, and the group even captions it. As John Adams famously said: "facts are stubborn things." https://t.co/tFvOEKUnVC— Nick Weig (@tbweig) June 1, 2019
Trump saying a member of the UK royal family was "nasty" is mild for our foul-mouthed executive, but the degree to which the cult of personality twists itself in knots to deny the meaning of his words is another small reminder that the cult is entirely impervious to information.— Walter Shaub (@waltshaub) June 2, 2019
Trump's use of "nasty" harkens back to a moment during a 2016 presidential debate when he called his opponent, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, a "nasty woman."

So...he makes the comment on tape, then lies about making it?
Typical Trump. How about Wikilewaks?
Hey Trump: Remember Wikileaks?
...on the campaign trail he praised Wikileaks more than 100 times but now claims to know nothing about them...
The man is a congenital liar. And you cultists defend or deny his lies, you're even worse than the Bush-Bots of the early 2000s.

What is he supposed to say? "Awww. Isn't that nice."

The problem isn't that he called her "nasty" - it's the fact that he denied saying it.

Yeah, right. As though the press would have given him a pass had he done differently.
Had the reporter asked, "What do you think of our Meghan Markle?" and Trump responded, "She's nasty", that's different. But the reporter listed a whole bunch of nasty things Meghan Markle said about Trump and he responded, "What can I say? I didn’t know that she was nasty.” Trump hits back.
If someone told me you like to have to have sex with men and I responded, "What can I say? I didn’t know that Deckard was gay", would the headline be "misterwhite called Deckard gay?

Maybe he forgot or maybe it is another cut and paste tape?
It ranks so low on my give a damn scale that I just don’t give a damn.
He fights hard for the middle class and every time the deep state blocks him he finds a way around them. You just have have major respect for president trump!

That is probably one of the biggest lies a president has ever uttered.
In fact it should have been an impeachable offense. He just flat told a lie and knew he was telling a lie!

Yeah - they must have "faked" Trump's audio and video.

Goes to the continual pattern of lying demonstrated by Trump.
If it was no big deal, why did he feel the need to lie about making the statement?
Why not be honest and admit he said it?
