Trump: 'When I can, I tell the truth'
By Devan Cole, CNN

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump, whose time in office has been defined in large part by his frequent falsehoods and misleading statements, claimed Wednesday he tries to be truthful.

"I remember, you remember well in the campaign, you made a promise. You said, 'I will never lie to you,'" ABC News' Jon Karl said to Trump in a new interview. "So can you tell me now, honestly, have you kept that promise at all times? Have you always been truthful?"

"Well I try. I mean, I do try. I think you try, too. You say things about me that are not necessarily correct," Trump replied. "I do try, and I always want to tell the truth. When I can, I tell the truth."

"I mean sometimes it turns out to be where something happens that's different or there's a change. But I always like to be truthful," he added.

Trump's comments are especially notable coming at the close of a contentious campaign season in which he has repeatedly engaged in smears and falsehoods to advance Republican electoral fortunes, from inflating his rally crowd sizes to accusing Democrats, frequently without evidence, of supporting ruinous immigration policies.

Last week, former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, a strong supporter of the President, said Trump "is a liar" and that he "should probably dial down the lying."
"OK, well we both know that he's telling lies. So if you want me to say he's a liar, I'm happy to say he's a liar," Scaramucci told CNN's John Berman on "New Day."

Last week, CNN tracked Trump's most-repeated claims and found that the President is most accurate during prepared remarks and when touting his strong economic record. But he strays from the truth when improvising with reporters or attacking his opponents, and some of the claims he made simply aren't supported by any evidence at all, the report found.

CNN's Steve Brusk and Marshall Cohen contributed to this report.

I am willing to concede that Ted Cruz's father killed Winston Churchill as well as Kennedy.

Trump tries not to lie more then he has too. I'm actually surprised that he doesn't do it all time having to deal with liberal bullshit every minute of the day. SMH

[gfejunkie]

I think he does it on purpose just to cause idiots like this one from CNN to lose their shit.

LOL!

Based on your posts (the ones with words, that is) I’m surprised you don’t believe he never lies.

A regular George Washington.

At least we’re now beginning to see exactly where some of you stand on the question of honesty. Used to be an American value,

We’ve gone from Honest Abe to Lyin’ Ted.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

Trump never lies on purpose...unless his mouth or fingers are moving. It's funny as fk though how his supporters actual believe him every time and that they got middle class tax cuts. Cause he told them they did smh. Now they believe that he is really really going to give the middle class a tax break. Good stuff lol

How about Obama supporters? If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your plan you can keep your plan. You’ll save 2500 a year with Obama care. That would be a red line. It was the video. I could go on. But they were all blatant lies and he knew it when he said them.

BAHAHHAA

i do think Trump lies or exaggerates on purpose just to get under the media's skin.


lying can be used as a tactic. its in the way how you use it to acheive results.



the way Trump employs it is very different from Obama.

I don’t think he lies on purpose. I don’t think he is capable of telling the difference between truth and bullshit.

It’s mental illness.

Presidents, like posters on a hooker board, can't always "tell the truth"!
