.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump now claims he read the whole Mueller report (but he didn’t).
At a White House event last Wednesday, Donald Trump ranted for quite a while about the Mueller report, making a long series of claims, each of which were demonstrably wrong. Purely as a matter of political theatrics, it was almost impressive to see a sitting president lie so much, so quickly, about something of great significance.
Listening to the tirade, it became clear that the president had simply decided to replace our reality with an alternative version that better suited his purposes. It served as a reminder that Trump had drawn firm conclusions about the Mueller report despite not having read it. In context, the anchor, speaking with Trump inside the presidential limousine, asked the Republican about his “pitch to the swing voter on the fence.” Trump quickly turned to the Mueller report, his “no collusion” claim, and his perception that voters “are angry about it.” Stephanopoulos began to correct him, but said the two could discuss it in more detail later.
As Trump’s whoppers go, there’s no way to say definitely whether he read the report or not. Only the president knows for sure whether he took the time to go through the entire document.It’s a safe bet in large part because Trump doesn’t read much of anything. As a candidate, he conceded that he doesn’t like to read because he doesn’t think he has to. As a president, the Republican can’t even be bothered to read his daily presidential intelligence briefing.
