Unpopular President Donald Trump was out doing a press conference with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis. The subject of the United States’ visa waiver program came up—reasonable enough, seeing that our president is an isolationist wackjob.
Reporter: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Was there any discussion about the Visa waiver program for Romania? Will there be a time for including this country in this program?
President trump: We didn't discuss it but it would be something we will discuss, Mr. President?
Trump threw the question over to President Iohannis, who instantaneously contradicted Trump’s version of what reality is.
President Iohannis: I mentioned this issue and I also mentioned it during other meetings because this is important for us. It's important for Romanians that want to come to the united States. You see, more and more people come, President Trump, from Romania to the United States. Some come as tourists. Some come for business. Those that come for business should be encouraged. The matter of Visa waiver would be probably important to discuss and we all hope we will advance on this.
The fact of the matter is that Trump either knows he isn’t really “discussing” anything when he’s meeting with certain world leaders and therefore he’s just checked out. So in his mind, saying that the visa waiver issue hadn’t been talked about is sort of true; but he doesn’t have the wherewithal to actually say the subject came up but nothing has been decided on. This is in part because Trump is incompetent but it’s also a part of being a pathological liar. In the cosmic theater that is this administration, the next question asked after this exchange is the well-reported one that led to Trump lying about how he would lie under oath against Comey’s claims.
Enjoy.
