Every day just gets weirder and weirder with this White House. As CNN reports:
In President Donald Trump’s telling, officials from Mexico City to Boy Scouts headquarters are lighting up his phone line with praise.
In the leaders’ telling, though, the calls never happened — and the White House has belatedly agreed…
…On Wednesday, the White House responded to questions about the calls with the same answer: the conversations actually took place in person.
“I wouldn’t say it was a lie. That’s a pretty bold accusation,” press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters at the White House. “The conversations took place, they just simply didn’t take place over a phone call.” [Pols emphasis]
Her answer came after both the Mexican government and the Boy Scouts contradicted Trump’s claims that he took calls from their leaders.
We just spent 20 minutes talking to President Trump on the telephone, and he didn’t mention anything about this. We’ll just have to call him back.

do tell…..did he ask about me?
I hold in such high regard a President of the United States so needy of approval from Cub Scouts. I find it deeply reassuring in this turbulent time.
