Mattis and Kelly made a pact not to leave the country at the same time so one of them can always keep tabs on Trump.

From roussette's link to the ask transcript:

“There was no mix there. That was a standing ovation from the time I walked out to the time I left, and for five minutes after I had already gone. There was no mix,” Trump said.

He added: “And I got a call from the head of the Boy Scouts saying it was the greatest speech that was ever made to them, and they were very thankful. So there was — there was no mix.”

Trump lied about the BOY SCOUTS. A senior Scouts source says there was no call at all, let alone a call telling him his speech was the best.

Daniel Dale @ddale8
Replying to @ddale8
To repeat: the Boy Scouts say this call, described in detail by the president of the United States, did not happen.

orlantina · 02/08/2017 06:27

So Trump is saying that the Head of the Boy Scouts rang him and said it was the greatest speech ever - and the Boy Scouts deny that call?

Who to believe?

He has no internal sense of control, diplomacy or awareness.

Roussette · 02/08/2017 06:45

More like he is a BIG FAT LIAR. Along with all his other errrmmm 'personality traits', he could well be a complete liar. A lot of what he spouts is difficult to disprove but when he makes up that the Head of the Scouts tells me he gave the best speech ever but then has to issue a statement more or less apologising for his speech and then deny they ever made the call, this proves he is a compulsive liar.

"Those who have followed Trump’s career say his lying isn’t just a tactic, but an ingrained habit. New York tabloid writers who covered Trump as a mogul on the rise in the 1980s and ’90s found him categorically different from the other self-promoting celebrities in just how often, and pointlessly, he would lie to them. In his own autobiography, Trump used the phrase “truthful hyperbole,” a term coined by his ghostwriter referring to the flagrant truth-stretching that Trump employed, over and over, to help close sales. Trump apparently loved the wording, and went on to adopt it as his own"

Roussette · 02/08/2017 06:47

Sorry got my grammar a bit buggered up there... you get the drift Grin

orlantina · 02/08/2017 06:57

I hope a journalist asks Sarah the simple question.

Did the Head of the BSA ring up Trump and say it was the greatest speech ever?

No doubt she won't have asked him that question so she'll have to get back to the press corps.

NEW: Boy Scouts just told me in e-mail if a call was placed to President Trump after his speech, the organization is unaware of it.

He got the call from Baden-Powell, who had consulted with Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.

I'm looking forward to the list of achievements.
