Trump LOSES IT over Obama in HUMILIATING confession

In case you were wondering who lives. rent-free in Trump's head, here you go. And I did one other thing. I had killed. Qassem Soleimani, who was an evil. genius. And the reason I did it, I heard he was. going to knock out five of our military. bases. And. had he lived, I believe we would be. fighting. perhaps a different. Iran right now. Because because he's. never.

he's never been replaced, you know. And. I also I did one other, but that this. one was not picked up. Osama bin Laden. If you read my book, I said you got to. take him out 1 year before the World. Trade Center came down. So, we should read the book. Quote, I. did one other, but this one was not. picked up, Osama bin Laden, which is. super weird because. Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American. people and to the world. that the United States has conducted an. operation that killed Osama bin Laden,

the leader of al-Qaeda, and a terrorist who's responsible for. the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children. Typical Obama, taking credit in 2011 for. what Trump would be responsible for a. decade and a half later. Huh, unreal. Now, as far as Trump's claim that he. warned the world about bin Laden before. anyone else, this has been fact-checked. to the ends of the earth. For example, CNN reported, quote, the book titled The.

America We Deserve did not tell anyone. they needed to watch or take care of bin. Laden. That wouldn't have been. particularly prescient advice even if. Trump had offered it in January 2000. Bin Laden was already a well-known. threat to America at the time, but the. book simply did not offer it. Here's the book's single mention of bin. Laden in a section criticizing US. foreign policy. Instead of one looming. crisis hanging over us, we face a. bewildering series of smaller crises, flashpoints, standoffs, and hotspots. We're not playing the chess game to end. all chess games anymore. We're playing. tournament chess, one master against.

many one day we're all assured that Iraq. is under control, the UN inspectors have. done their work, everything's fine, not. to worry. The next day the bombing. begins. One day we're told that a. shadowy figure with no fixed address. named Osama bin Laden is public enemy. number one, and US jet fighters lay. waste to his camp in Afghanistan. He. escapes back under some rock, and a few. news cycles later it's onto a new enemy. and a new crisis. That's clearly not any. advice to anyone about bin Laden, and it. contains an acknowledgement that bin. Laden had already been targeted by then. President Bill Clinton after the 1998. terror attacks on US embassies in.

Tanzania and Kenya. In a separate. section of the book, Trump did predict. that the US would be hit by major terror. attacks writing, "I really am convinced. we're in danger of the sort of terrorist. attack that will make the 1993 bombing. of the World Trade Center look like kids. playing with firecrackers. No sensible. analyst rejects this possibility, and. plenty of them like me are not wondering. if, but when it will happen." But Trump. did not predict that bin Laden or anyone. else in particular would be responsible. for those future attacks. And Trump. acknowledged it was a widespread belief. among analysts that major attacks would. occur, not a special insight of his own.

But here's the thing, the truth doesn't. matter for Trump because he's not in the. business of telling the truth. He is in. the business of manipulation. That's. exactly what he's doing here. This isn't. a gaffe or a mistake, it is his. principal offering. This is literally. what the guy sells. He knows that if you. repeat a lie long enough, people will. start to believe it. And don't take it. from me, take it from Trump himself as. explained by his former aide, Stephanie. Grisham. Donald Trump lives in his own. reality, and he lies casually, but he's. very, very good at it. He used to teach.

me, Stephanie, as long as you keep. repeating something, it doesn't matter. what you say. And I will bring us back. to 2019 when Hurricane Dorian was. coming, and Donald Trump wrote on a map. that it was going to hit a part of the. country that it wasn't going to really. hit, even after being briefed by the. National Weather Service. So, this is. something he's done over and over and. over, and I really hope that people will. understand that this is just what he. does. And that's exactly what he's done. How many times has Trump claimed that. the 2020 election was stolen? There's.

zero evidence. He lost 64 court cases. about it, including in front of a number. of judges who he himself appointed. He. can't substantiate a single thing, but. he says it anyway, and repeats it over. and over and over again. Same with the. Russia investigation. This was a scheme. that resulted in 34 individuals and. three companies being charged, including. eight guilty pleas from Donald Trump's. own associates. George Papadopoulos, Rick Gates, Paul Manafort, Michael. Flynn, Michael Cohen. You think they. pleaded guilty to a hoax? And yet still,

Trump claims that that's exactly what it. is. Everything that accurately reflects. poorly on him, he lies about. He says. he's the victim, he's never done. anything wrong, he's always innocent, and he repeats that claim every hour of. every day to anyone who's in front of. him who will listen. And when I say. anyone, I mean literally anyone. You know, Biden would use the autopen. He had an autopen following him. You. know, Joe Biden, he didn't sign. He was. incapable of signing these things. So,

they'd follow him around with this big. machine, you know what it's called? An. autopen. And it'd have the autopen sign for him. He'd take the paper, hand it to his. guys, they'd sign it with an autopen, give it. back. Not too bad, right? Better to sign it yourself. Donald Trump. I I would like to say Okay, that is the. fake news. I made um um. Air Force Who likes the fake news? Does anybody like the fake news? No.

Those kids are like eight, and this. demented old man is spewing his. conspiracy theories at them like they're. his fanboys at a campaign rally. But. that really is the whole game. Never. give up the bit, no matter who you're. talking to. You could be conning a bunch. of auto workers in Michigan or some. first-graders, doesn't matter to him. No. moment is a bad time to spew his lies. and try and proselytize the rubes. Everyone everyone poses an opportunity. to be conned by the ultimate con man, and he lives by that creed every single.

day. In fact, I spoke to Barack Obama. himself about Donald Trump's lies, including those about him. Here's what. he had to say. The majority of the. American people. find this behavior. deeply troubling. Uh you know, it it it. is true that it gets attention. It's true that it's a distraction. But. you know, as I'm traveling around the country, as. as you're traveling around the country, you you meet people. Um. they still believe in decency, courtesy,

kindness. And. that there's this sort of clown show. that's happening. in social media and on television. Uh. And. what is true is that there doesn't seem. to be any shame about this. among people who. used to feel. like you had to have some sort of. decorum and and and. um a sense of propriety.

uh. and respect for the office, right? So, so that's been lost. But the but the reason I I point out. that I don't think the majority of the. American people approve of this is. because ultimately the answer is going. to come from the American people. And we. just saw this. uh in Minnesota, in Minneapolis. Um. It it is important for us to recognize. the.

uh. unprecedented nature of what ICE was. doing. in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, the the. the way that. federal agents, ICE agents, were being. deployed. without any clear. guidelines, training, uh. pulling people off uh. you know, out of their homes, using 5-year-olds to.

try to. uh bait their parents. >> parents. Uh. all this stuff that we saw. The tear gassing, crowds simply who were. standing there and not breaking any. laws. Um. So, so the rogue behavior of. agents of the federal government we it. is is deeply concerning and and. uh. dangerous. But we should take a moment to. appreciate the extraordinary.

uh. outpouring of. organizing, community building, decency, neighbors. buying groceries for folks, accompanying. children to school, teachers who were standing up for their. kids, uh. you know, not just randomly, but in a you know, systematic, organized way.

Citizens saying, "This is not the. America we believe in, and we're going. to fight back, and we're going to push. back. with the truth, and with cameras, and. with peaceful protests, and. and shining a light on. uh. the the sort of behavior that. uh. you know, in the past we've seen in. authoritarian countries, and we've seen. in. uh. dictatorships, but we have not seen in. America. And. that kind of heroic.

uh. sustained behavior in sub-zero weather. by ordinary people uh is what should. give us. hope. And it should should remind us. that. at the end of the day, the way we get a democracy that's. working, the way we get policies that. actually. uh. are helping working families. uh. you know, get ahead. The way that we.

restore norms, rule of law, decency, it's going to be because we, citizens, are activated and paying attention. And. saying enough. And saying, you know, uh. we have a different idea of of what uh. the American family should look like and. and and community should look like. And. and that is what I'm saying uh across. the board. So, uh you know, I I I was um on a panel a.

while back. And I said, you know, a lot of the values that we. say we subscribe to, um during easy times, during peaceful. times, um. it's easy to say we believe in those. things. >> Right, when they're not challenged. >> When they're not challenged. You know, it's easy to believe in free speech when. uh it doesn't seem like the government's. trying to crack down on free speech. It's it's it's easy to to say that um.

you know, we believe in the golden rule when we. aren't at risk of being arrested when we. exercise the golden rule. >> Yeah. Right now, we're being tested. And you. know, the good news is what we saw in. Minneapolis and and St. Paul. And what. we're seeing in in places across the. country, including here in Los Angeles, um has been. uh. the American people saying, "No, you. know what? At least a a good number of. the American people saying, 'We're going. to live up to those values that we say.

we believe in.'" And as long as. we have folks doing that, um. I feel like we're going to get through. this. So, we have a choice. Decency. versus lies. Trump knows full well which. ones Americans would prefer, which is. why he tries so hard to take credit for. Obama's successes every chance he gets. But like everything else Trump does, Americans are recognizing that it's. nothing but smoke and mirrors. >> [music]. >> Before you go, I'm very excited to. announce that I've written a new book.

titled The Day After: How to wield power. in a post-Trump world. The book explores. what is, in my opinion, the single most. important theme that we're dealing with. in politics today and moving forward, power. Specifically how Republicans. abuse it and how Democrats refuse to. wield it. This book explains how we got. here and more importantly, how we should. finally wield power if we're lucky. enough to get it back. It is the. blueprint for progressives who want to. do far more than just restore the status. quo. Please pre-order today by following. the link on this screen.
