Is it Lying or Simply Ignorant?
Quote | Reply
Trump played hype man for his own inauguration, boasting that the turnout would be record-setting. “There will be plenty of movie and entertainment stars,” Trump told the Times. “All the dress shops are sold out in Washington. It’s hard to find a great dress for this inauguration.”


Definitely not, said Martha Slagle, vice president and general manager of the Neiman Marcus in Friendship Heights. If a ball attendee were to walk in today, “you have more than a thousand evening gowns to choose from,” she said, noting that the store stocks up every four years in anticipation of inauguration demand.


Even the city’s smaller boutiques still have plenty of stock. “We always have dresses,” said Krista Johnson, the owner of Georgetown designer-consignment shop Ella Rue. “Unless a thousand people came in today, we’d still have choices.”

If someone says that 2 + 2 = 5, it's not necessarily a case that they're lying. Maybe they simply made a mistake. But Trump has some issues when it comes to dealing with facts.

I don't know about that but it sure has been fun watching the gymnastics of the clinton supporters from around the world, posting everything Trump.

If the last couple of months is any indication, it's going to be some fun spectating.

do you not get it? - his constant lying is a tactic to desensitize you to it. So he lies about something inconsequential now, later when he lies about something larger, it won't seem as bad

Not a Clinton supporter but after watching the GOP cry and scream over everything Obama. It's going to be awesome to watch them defend the demented baby they have elected!

It is a response to 8 years of republicans losing their minds every time Obama sneezed.

WTF, how is this even news? This just in. . . a shop that sells dresses . . . has dresses in inventory for you to buy.

You mean like releasing his taxes and explaining how he is going to alleviate his conflicts of interest? Not to mention how he will deal with cyber espionage, a saber rattling North Korea, and tariffs on imported automobiles. What about the replacement for Obamacare and draining the swamp? Do you really think his press conference on Wednesday is going to have any answers other than 'It's going to be beautiful' to any of these questions?

On my list of shit to get upset about this ranks slightly above Obama not wearing a flag lapel pin to some shindig.

So that makes me more of an Obama ball washer, I guess.

This "news" story is just so insanely stupid.

Trump is the anti-Obama.

Four years ago, conservative talking heads were thanking their lucky stars that Obama was reelected. That allowed them to ridicule anything Obama did or said, and this played to their fans.

Now we'll have four years of Trump. Early indications are that the liberal talking heads won't have to look too hard for material.

But you're right. It's going to be fun.

Maybe Trump believes in Common Core, where 2+2=5? As long as he can show the least amount of work with the minimalist amount of effort, and fool a few people along the way, it's all good in his mind.

This^^. What seems like a small issue shouldn't even be mentioned, so why is Trump making shit up? If he does this on the small stuff, what will he do with the big stuff?

On its own, it is very minor. But it is one in a long string of "did he really just say that?" statements from him.

I think he has a flair for exaggeration. He's probably used to people in his circle letting it slide because he is Trump.

Putting his feet doesnt bother me. It surely is huge insult in some cultures. If his intent wasn't to insult xxxxx then he should probably know better. If his intent was to insult then...

that's probably the generous interpretation. but it does leave americans in the awkward position of needing to decipher when their president is being serious.

I'm just wondering why this even matters to him or to whoever asked him. This is right up there with tweeting about the Apprentice ratings under Ahnold.

So what? Does inauguration attendance mean anything? Is this a popularity contest? If I invited only my family and the folks in the Lavender Room to my inauguration, and we grilled steaks in my backyard according to the "how to cook an f'in steak" thread, so what? Are we keeping score to see if I had more people at my inauguration than at Trump's, or Obama's, or Kim Jong Il's, or Betty White's?

If attendance numbers at my inauguration was some sort of measure of my popularity, then I'd just invite all of America and a few other folks for good measure. If anybody showed up, I'd be happy to have 'em. Never mind that 99% of the population said no, as long as the numbers are higher than everybody else in history, right? I'm really cool and popular, right? Right? Bueller?

So, I'm not sure if this is lying, ignorance, hyperbole, or just giving too many shits about something for which shits should not be given.

Agreed, it is irrelevant, I don't know what is motivation for commenting on this stuff is, or why we have 20 plus post over two day on it but yet here we are.

First of all, maybe it was asked as a setup for this story or something like it.

Secondly, you mention The Apprentice. Stop and think about this for a second...

Guess who is still executive producer of that show. Donald Fucking Trump.

So Trump sees the ratings are down, tweets about it in his smug way knowing that his detractors will watch the show en mass just to "get back" at him.

Meanwhile Trump is laughing all the way to the back.

Heard one of the contestants of the show on the radio this morning alluding to this very thing.

People need to learn that chess and checkers, while played on the same board, are vastly different games.
