When journalists start a report with "Trump said..." it should only be the introduction of a sentence about lying or flip-flopping. It doesn't matter what Trump says. What Trump says is a moment in time without relevance to anything past or future and just another example of how he lies and cheats.
In the music business there were people just as inherently dishonest, narcissistic and predatory Trumpf. I managed to avoid them. Because of the damn media's lust for ratings, Trump is impossible to avoid. I'm glad when he exposes and attacks them I remember how much they deserve it for imposing him on the rest of us. Yesterday, writing for the Daily Beast, Michael D'Antonio examined the origins of the exaggerations and the unverifiable boasts.
