WSJ misquotes Trump, didn’t know the interview was being recorded

White House claims Wall Street Journal misquoted Trump as saying he has a good relationship with Kim Jong Un

Oops!

Turn your volume up and listen.

I did listen & I'm glad the WSJ has stood by what they said. Once again, the White House under Trump has proven itself to be lacking in credibility.

Disputed Audio from Donald Trump Interview With WSJ

The sounds like a verbatim quote to me.

I look forward to see the length of this thread.

I listened to all three, the two in the article and the one posted by @Go Braves and he clearly, very clearly says, "And I have...."
And I have a very good, clear headset I'm listening with.
Maybe Mrs. Huckabee-Sanders is hard of hearing. At least I hope that is her problem and not that she is lying.

I actually heard "I'd probably" but I am hard of hearing and don't trust myself in these areas. Regardless, I think to make a big "FAKE NEWS" claim over this is not correct. The audio is not some kind of slam dunk for the White House. It's ambiguous as we've seen on this thread.

Maybe this could have been a poll.

As much as I dislike Trump, I'll come to his defense here some. Even if the audio does sound like he said what the WSJ said, it's a silly thing to attack him on. It was a slightly unclear pronunciation. Other than a slight chuckle at things like that, I think it's silly to attack people for misspeaking. Sometimes the words that come out of our mouths aren't what we really intended them to be - dropping a vowel, accidentally substituting one word for another, etc.

That said, Trump's reaction is pretty childish too.

There is audio confirmation, barring some proof of tampering Trump is simply lying. Its tiresome how often this happens.

 

[whatbogsends]

We have audio confirmation that the media (in this case, the Wall Street Journal) is correct and Trump/Huckabee-Sanders's claim is false.

I'm sure we're going to see condemnation of Trump/Huckabee spewing "Fake News" from the OP. We'll be waiting patiently.

 

[JGG]

Well that's a shame...

 

[Allandavid]

In other news, Donnie explains what “is” is.....

 

[whatbogsends]

The condemnation from those on the right who claim to hate liars and fake news seems to be taking a while to develop...

It almost seems like their outrage is selective.

I agree with you and I despise Trump as much as anybody not named Clinton. Even if he said “I”, he can have benefit of doubt.

Now, y’all be witnessing cow451 being nice about the President.

In other news, NOAA is forecasting a cold Spring in Sheol.
