A lawyer for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told BuzzFeed News Wednesday that an interview a radio host said took place this week actually took place a year ago.
WYAY radio host Steve McCoy in Atlanta told BuzzFeed that he had to agree to the interview with a number of preconditions from Trump’s campaign.
McCoy told BuzzFeed News in a report published Tuesday that he had to agree not to ask about policy positions because “they weren’t set in stone” and to allow Trump to nix any questions.
“They said they wouldn’t take questions about his policy because his policies, they weren’t set in stone,” McCoy reportedly told BuzzFeed.
McCoy told the publication the interview took place this week.
But BuzzFeed updated its story to reflect comments from Trump’s lawyer, who said the interview was conducted a year ago. The lawyer added that McCoy admitted to him that it took place a year ago.
McCoy had not again responded to BuzzFeed’s request for comment.
He should have known better.
The current version of the Buzzfeed article has the transcript of the interview. The interviewer refers to “back when you were first considering running for president” and mentions “you were just in town this past weekend”, which Trump was. Want to bet on which side is lying here?
In Trump World, reality and actuality are anything Trump wants it to be.
The word “lawyer” is a prim euphemism when it comes to the people Trump likes to hire. “Bullying shyster mouthpiece” is much more accurate. And if they say you’re lying I think at this point we can take that as an ipso facto admission you’re telling the truth.
A t-Rump-Harumph Haiku.
The nest of hair blows,
As the windbag cons and trolls.
Emptiness exposed.
(Please TPM…NO MORE TRUMP. I’ve reached my fucking limit today…actually hours ago.)
