Ex-RNC Chair Michael Steele Points Out Way To Tell Donald Trump Is Lying
“I don’t know who all of these people talking to him, telling him this information that he’s now spewing up," Steele told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace.
Former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele is the latest person to point out a mannerism he believes indicates when President Donald Trump is lying.
“America, here’s your tell. Whenever the president says, ‘I heard,’ shut it down, stop it, call it a lie and move on, because the next sentence, word, phrase out of his mouth will be a lie,” Steele told Nicolle Wallace on Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House.”
“I don’t know who all of these people talking to him, telling him this information that he’s now spewing up,” added Steele, who urged the media “don’t write that story” whenever Trump “comes out with the ‘I heard’ or ‘people say.’”
Unfortunately, that IS the chief mode of research for most Trumpanzees.
Wallace suggested that Trump’s previous references to his “friend Jimmy” were also a telltale sign.
“Jimmy’s never real,” she claimed. “Jimmy doesn’t exist,” replied Steele. “
Jimmy is in his head. Jimmy is running from this eyeball to that eyeball, OK, can you understand that? Let me tell you where Jimmy plays: He’s right here,” he added, pointing between his eyes.
Earlier this week, CNN’s fact-checking reporter Daniel Dale said Trump is usually about to lie “if he tells a story in which someone calls him ‘sir.’”
Late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel, meanwhile, in April said another sign Trump had told an untruth was if he followed up with the phrase, “ It’s true”
