Odd statement from a man whose political career was foisted upon us by his reliance on ‘anonymous’ sources for his erroneous and slanderous birtherism.
Yep, this is the master of the “Some people are saying” based slur…
Some people are saying he was born in a whore house so he is a brothel’s sprout.
My personal favorite “people are saying” quote:
ABC’s David Muir: "“Do you think that talking about millions of illegal votes is dangerous to this country, without presenting the evidence?”
Trump: “No, not at all, because many people feel the same way that I do…Millions of people agree with me when I say that. If you would have looked on one of the other networks, and all of the people that were calling in, they’re saying ‘We agree with Mr. Trump. We agree.’ They’re very smart people.”
Many people are saying that anonymously sourced articles are fake news. Sad.
