President Trump recently participated in an interview with Time Magazineās Michael Scherer for a cover story about his relationship with the truth. Predictably, this conversation really tested the limits of irony.
In the full transcript of the interview published by Time, Trump lies a lot, says a number of half-true things, does not admit he was incorrect to link Ted Cruzās father with Lee Harvey Oswald, foists responsibility for his inaccuracies onto media reports that he misrepresents, says the word āBrexitā 11 times, and forms sentences like āBrussels, I said, Brussels is not Brussels.ā But, listen, some of it was fine! In the transcript below, we have redacted everything that is not verifiably true. What remains is everything the president said that is definitely true.
Iām going to go pass out.
Correction: We actually missed another false statement. Trump received 306 electoral college votes on election day, but thanks to two āfaithlessā electors, his official tally is 304; his claims that he āended up at 306ā and āended up getting to 306" are technically false. Ā
