A Doozie From The Liar-In-Chief
Trump's latest ----------------
In Seoul, Trump said: “President Obama wanted to meet, and Chairman Kim would not meet him. The Obama administration was begging for a meeting. They were begging for meetings constantly. And Chairman Kim would not meet with him.”
This rated 4 Pinocchios as one of goofy's more outrageous lies.
The White House provided no evidence for Trump’s claim that Obama tried repeatedly and unsuccessfully to meet with Kim. No public records or news articles show Obama tried to meet with Kim. Former U.S. intelligence officials and experts on North Korea said they knew of no evidence for Trump’s claim. Obama’s top advisers on North Korea said Trump’s claim was false.
“I don’t know where he’s getting that,” James R. Clapper Jr., who was director of national intelligence during the Obama years, said on CNN. “I can recall no instance whatever where President Obama ever indicated any interest whatsoever in meeting with Chairman Kim. That’s news to me.”
