Discussion: Trump Says He Doesn't 'Remember Much' About Papadopoulos Meeting

He remembers virtually nothing.

With few exceptions.

On many sides.

Lordy, I hope there are tapes!

Trump can’t recall saying he has one of the world’s best memories.

Donald Trump in a deposition for a Trump University lawsuit said that he doesn’t recall claiming to have the world’s greatest memory, according to newly released transcripts.

A lawyer questioning Trump in the case on behalf of the plaintiffs, Jason Forge, peppered the presumptive GOP presidential nominee with questions about his claims and actions surrounding the case.

At one point, he told Trump that the businessman had stated he had ā€œone of the best memories in the world,ā€ according to a transcript that includes hundreds of pages of testimony.
ā€œI don’t know. Did I use that expression?ā€ Trump asked. When told he had used the phrase, the billionaire asked to see evidence that he had said it, being told there was video of his remark.

ā€œDid I say I have a great memory or one of the best in the world?ā€ Trump asked for clarification, to which he was told he’d said he had ā€œone of the best in the world.ā€

ā€œI don’t remember saying that. As good as my memory is, I don’t remember that, but I have a good memory,ā€ Trump responded.

He’s a huckster; everything he says is mere puffery not to be take literally.

Of course he doesn’t remember it. If he can’t remember what he said to a war widow on the phone only a couple days previously, how can he remember a meeting held months ago?

ā€œThe Onionā€ staff writers are green with envy right now. Still can’t figure out why anyone would vote for this duplicitous ignoramus or any Republican. GOP voters have no sense of dignity.

I believe it was Haig who advised Nixon to claim he couldn’t recall things when he had to testify because of that Watergate dilly-o. Anybody remember that one? I was just a lad, busy with slingshots and comic books.

I’d like the President to explain why he, as a very, very important person (one of the most important people, they’re saying) and candidate for the highest office in the land, sat in a ā€œvery unimportant meetingā€ in the first place.

'Cause I don’t think Presidents usually waste their time with very unimportant meetings. In fact, I’m pretty sure that anybody who wasted a President’s (or candidate’s) time with a very unimportant meeting would find himself creatively reassigned in short order.

Why didn’t you fire Papa-D right on the spot, Donald? He was just a covfefe boy anyway. How dare he waste your time? You love firing people who disappoint you or waste your time. At least, I’m pretty sure that’s the persona you ran on.

The only real defense is an affirmative one: He remembers the meeting, and Russia wasn’t discussed.

If he doesn’t remember much, then he remembers something, so he remembers there was a meeting where Russia was discussed.

If he later claims he remembers nothing at all, then he can’t deny he attended a meeting where Russia was discussed.

ā€œI don’t remember much about that meeting, it was a very unimportant meeting. Don’t remember much about it.ā€

Hey Commander-in-cheat, next time try saying ā€œI don’t rememberā€ THREE times, that’ll make it even more convincing by 50%.

Or you could try the St. Ronnie approach. He had pretty good luck saying ā€œI don’t recallā€ just once.
Maybe it was the delivery.
