Trump tears in New York comment Setup! Watch out!

I think it was a set up and the media and democrats are falling for it. He wanted us falling all over ourselves disputing his claim and making a case FOR HIM that New Yorkers hate him. Why? He wants to claim he can’t have a fair trial in Manhattan.

Why do we always allow ourselves to fall for their staging of everything with our knee jerk reactions?!

On an outgoing tide...

No wait- make it the East River, more gangster-ish.

"Poifict!" in the parlance of a New York gangster.

lie is being disputed isn’t evidence that he can’t get a fair trial. In essence, he is saying New York loves him. Saying it’s not true doesn’t mean he can’t find a fair jury.

So we might as well just be ourselves.

When you are faced with no good options, just do the right thing.
