Morning_Joe There are a lot of LIES Trnmp tells that everyone always knows the truth about. He thinks the people are so stupid that he has to tell us what to believe as truth.

Hes gained 40+ lbs since Jan 2017. All that bullshit backed up in his intestine

There is not truth at all in anything liar Trump says.. The Russians have owned Trump for years and still do. Trump first, America second. This is why Trump will not release his taxes!! They will show how much he owes the Russians.😨😨😨

What a total derp. He’s not fooling the intellectuals!!

Why are people complaining about Trip now? They voted hi in office. Question should be, Who's protecting Trump? Who's using him an protecting office. He was anti government pre election. Now he's an all star political government man.

Lies lies lies nothing but lies . What a terrible, disgusting example .Please listen to your silly little mission and be better if you can’t be best. Imagine the example he is setting for his own young son. Terrible!

He's didnt have deal in Russia is there a building being built there..so what he was billionaire business man doing his job and nothing cAme out of it..he did nothing wrong just more bs from the desperate left basta

jennycohn1 IOW Everyone knew I was lying.

I have been following Trump forever & over the past while his mental state has been declining. Something very bad is going to happen before Trump is impeached and has to resign his presidency.

If everybody knew, why did he deny it over and over and concoct ever more ridiculous lies about it? If everybody knew, then there should have been no coverup, no lies. Or is he just complaining that yes, everybody knew about it so he never expected to be held accountable?

The funny thing is that he things you should have known though he tried to hide it !

Was the $50 million penthouse for Putin a kickback?

How much was the Trump Tower Moscow project worth to Trump? Benedict Arnold was promised 20,000 pounds by the British. How much money does it take to get someone to support Russia, an adversary of the United States? Was it important for voters to know that he was compromised?

Deny delay deflect

So building a Trump Tower in Russia was not your idea? Must have been Donald Jr. He seems to be your go to guy.

Oh wait.... you mean.... he LIED? I’m SHOCKED!!!

He's going down in flames.

So, then in his written answers he most likely lied to a federal prosecutor.

Most of the broadcast media gave realDonaldTrump a pass during the election because he brought ratings. He wasn't vetted at the same level of past presidential candidates and this can never happen again. cnn ABC CBSNews

realDonaldTrump lies and lies and lies and then expects us to believe him.

Lie after lie after lie!

He never had “a deal”. He has worked on a million “deals” but when there is no agreement, there is no “deal”. Why do you work overtime to make him look the worst?

Why not reporting: 'The president lied...', NBCNews?

Did they? I would wager that 'everybody didn't know' about it. Does his assumption excuse lying about it? No.

Every one knew this, some people were only in denial. He lies out of both sides of his mouth.

Trump translation: “Everybody knew about it.” = Everybody knows about it now and many expected it during the election.

''and now the end is near''

Heaven and Hell don’t want you

What deals does he have in Russia? An important detail you left out is what he said is not factually incorrect

yeah, we have known for a while he sold his soul to Putin. now we're just nailing it down in preparation for his visit to a Turkish embassy.

realDonaldTrump So which is the truth? You said two different things.

Is it me or is he getting fatter?

Trump needs bigger shirts. Dude looks like his neck is asking for forgiveness

raphaelha67 Christ almighty..enough of this fool IndictTrump

Still looking...where and how did Russia change the results of the election...in the voting booth? On Facebook? Where is the 'collusion' that changed a single vote? Ill wait...

Big Deal. What does mean? Absolutely nothing as usual. Obama said you can leep your insurance, Bush said no new taxes. What President hasn’t been caught in a lie. And he is still your president!

Trump, China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, FOLLOW THE MONEY !!

Cohen is a proven Liar. Credibility is gone. Fake news Follows

Everyone has known about it since 2016 when trump junior had the meeting, not trump

jennycohn1 Trump reflexively lies about everything

He didn't have deals with Russia - It was a project for a Tower - that means you bid - Typical of your FAKE NEWS!!!!

Lies after lies after lies so many he can’t keep them straight anymore!

TreasonDonald Trump got much fatter

Americans suspected you had deals but you lied over and over that you did not have deals. So no everyone did not know.

More lies being uncovered!

Define deal.

jennycohn1 Yes. He is a liar who was lying then and is now lying about those lies. Simple, right?

jennycohn1 This is the same “everybody” that he always talks about, ie “nobody”

In his own mind he might thought.....I don’t have any deals today. He’s a lame puppy

He wouldn't know the truth if it bit him in the butt..which I pray it does!

Trump and his family are repulsive. 🙄

And he doesn't, so what's your point?

and when she told you, you were all 'her emailz!'

The lying liar lied then?

Give him an award for the most prolific liar in the USA change that to the world!

Morning_Joe L.I.A.R.

Go ahead GOP, continue to bury your head while leaving EVERYTHING else exposed…. Hence ostrichrepublicans

so impeachment is happening before or after xmas? 😂 😂 MuellerTime MuellerIsComing impeach trump potus

He is the antichrist

I’ll take “gaslighting” for $500, Alex.

The Ambassador to North Korea spoke the truth about Trump at the UN. Called him the 'Lyin' King.' One of the few times I've agreed with North Korea.

Congenital 🤥 🤮

HE DIDN'T NOR DOES. IS IT REALLY THAT HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND.

Such a bizarre dude.

He is so foooked!! He bloody well knows it too!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Its a non big deal. When theres a body wake me up.

Morning_Joe Is it me or did someone gain a little bit of weight

Morning_Joe But there was not an actual project, was there ?

Which is true

Who cares?

40 million dollars wasted !

Trump is his own enemy.

I’m amazed about the tweet and the replies. The NBC tweeter (unnamed) doesn’t understand the difference between having a deal, and exploring possible business opportunities prior to running for President. Most replyers should learn how to think.

Real estate deal... Not collusion.

What deal does he have in Russia?

Resign

LittleGuyPolit1 We wish You a mueller Xmas. We wish you a Mueller Xmas. We wish you a Mueller Xmas. And impeachment next year. Indictments we bring. To you and your kin. Indictments for Christmas and impeachment

Morning_Joe You've discovered Trump is a liar! In related news water is wet.

Well Hillary warned us ALL about you!!

And he did not and does not, and your point is?

What are these generalizations about ... WHO IS EVERYBODY I need to meet everybody . Because they knew.

Looks like somebody’s been hitting the KFC a little too much

What is so hard to understand about the deal never happened!

Morning_Joe Business in Russia bad? Clintons, Mueller, Podesta, you're next

Trump is such a liar. We all know Trump can't tell the truth.

Trump. Liar-in-Chief

Deal? It didn't happen!

He's a Liar!! Always has Been...Truth is Not in him....

He changes the truth every time something new comes out. This is Trumps truth . He doesn’t know what truth is because he has told so many lies .

LIAR, LIAR, LIAR!

realDonaldTrump is a sociopath and pathological liar. GOP is fully complicit in his lies and traitorous behavior. United States will need luck to survive this. ImpeachTrumpNow

So what who cares

BREAKING NEWS: Trump Lied Again

It’s almost like trump lied.

Ssssssssnakeinthegrass

We love TRUMP!!!

How we feeling about this, righties?

What deal did he have. Cohen said he DID NOT have a deal.

Wait, the charge against Cohen was he said discussions about a possible deal ended on January but they ended in June. Ended with no deal.

More fake news. The MSM doing all possible to spin this to attack Trump. There were no deals in Russia, do you see anything Trump built there? They have been lying about the Russian collusion 'hoax' for years and must cover up their lying.

Morning_Joe Aah The art of distraction and confusion but you know who isn’t⁉️MUELLER‼️

He had no deal in Russia! Trying to get a deal is NOT A DEAL!

Morning_Joe Discussing deals is not the same as having deals with Russia. Any chance of an ounce of fairness from NBC?

Was MSM so concerned about the Clinton Crime Family lies? Obama lies? Collusion still hasn't been proven, that's what Mueller is supposed to be investigating !

(Still doesn’t)

The statement made in July 2016 was true as the proposed business deal in Russia was canceled in June 2016.

Trump betrayed the American people.

MosesDidItBest His pants should literally be on fire 🔥

Morning_Joe realDonaldTrump is Putin's puppet. HillaryClinton warned us about Trump and his deplorables.

I won’t be happy until he’s out.

Morning_Joe It is about time y’all start hold him accountable for his lies.

realDonaldTrump “Everybody”? Who is “Everybody”? “Everybody” is NOBODY because you previously said there were NO dealings with Russia. Lies AlternateFacts

Priceless!!!

Ok, you say, Michael Cohen is a liar and a weak person, unlike a year ago when you praised him as a good man. YOU paid him to lie for you! So who is the real liar? Who is truly the weak one? It’s you, Trump, hiding behind blaming others for your own mistakes and stupidity!

Thats right, nothing to do and no deals !!! What Cohen pleaded to is public info with no deal done. Cohens deal has nothing to do against Pres Trump. You guys are trying to make a mountain out of a sand grain !!!!

Morning_Joe He just hasn’t learned “the cover up is worse than the crime”

The more you deny... The more you lie

Morning_Joe And Republicans, and his base, will gladly agree. This is SOOOO wrong.

If everybody knew about it, why did he feel the need to explain it to us three times?

There was nothing illegal done...why are you blowing this nothingburger up and again getting dems all worked up. Fake news will always let you down, learn to think for yourself.

How is negotiations and no contract a deal ? I thought this was about Russia medaling in the 2016 election? Not about business deals!! Come on 2 years and the focus has changed? Pathetic mainstream media and their continuous bias!!

Well, gee, when you put it that way, you almost make it sound like he's lying.

What's wrong with that, Russia is a friend, but to a political mountebank Russia is our enemy. Well, not me. This harm being fostered by democrats is treason, and it should be treated as such. Jail those involved, Donald.

But wait.

No there,there!

Hey, ABC ! WTF! You film Princess Ivanka in soft focus? Have you gone that far Disney? (Look at the comparison, lips, eyes, hair, background.) Tell me if you are not trying to make Ivanka look angelic? Did you cave in to this as a Trump demand? Resist Mueller ImpeachTheMoron

Then why lie about it. And why keep lying about it. And why all the people who covered it up by lying about it.

Wanting to do and actually doing it are two different entities.

IAmSophiaNelson He really packed on the lbs.

Each day he shows he’s a liar

Morning_Joe not illegal. Who cares.

It was business matter , so where is the collusion?

POTUS is correct! Everyone knew that Trump towers in Russia would have been nice and had been discussed but had never materialized. We all knew it. And.....so what?

Put this in proper context, please.

I’m not seeing any smoking guns here...looks to me like he didn’t make any deal for Moscow tower. No deal means he had nothing to do with Moscow. Until they find evidence of collusion and not just an international business looking into business international I’m not convinced

First of all. trump has gained a lot of weight.

No body really cares though. Only those who hate him, which renders the argument and credibility bullshit. Keep it up because you’re helping elect him in 2020 the way your going. 👍great job 👏keep it up

Wow.

DONALD TRUMP WILL GO DOWN AS THE MOST ENIGMATIC PRESIDENT IN HISTORY.

Not a Crime!

What will it take for the lies to no longer be accepted?

Can our country afford this CROOK?

Morning_Joe It's not a deal until it's a deal. Stupid No worse, it's fake news. demonstrating again, its an EnemyOfThePeople

Morning_Joe Ummmmmm just so I can keep up, the Tower in 🇷🇺 was cancelled early 2016 right? So to say in 16/17 I have no plans in 🇷🇺 is factually true?

Everybody exept Mrs. Anderson Cooper who is enjoing twisting the Fake News.

When you're dealing with a pathological liar, it's best to just disregard EVERYTHING he says. I'm looking at YOU, Donald.

Morning_Joe Was a deal made where is the Crime keep looking for nothing

rsuds1310 Trump made himself vulnerable to Putin's blackmail by lying to US voters ... Lord knows what else Putin has hanging over Trump. Putin & Saudia Arabia ... Trump is always mean, insulting, rude, attacking but not there. Trump doesn't dare cross these evil empires.

There wasn’t a deal

MAGA doesn't know this. tRump calls himself 'everybody'. AmericaFirst TeaParty GOP TrumpTrain NAFTA

He had no deal. He explored a deal. More misinformation! BTW any updates on the internal investigation of Matt Lauer? 🧐It's been over a year now.

If you seek to build a tower in Moscow but no tower is ever built bc the deal falls through, does that mean you have deals in Russia? No.

So blatantly disingenuous. Cohen admitted that ATTEMPTS to reach a deal in Russia ended unsuccessfully in June 2016 instead of January 2016. Trump states in July 2016 and January 2017 that he doesn't have a business deal with Russia. MSM: Trump is lying. Crazy.

So POTUS considered placing a hotel in Russia but decided not to and according to Dems and the media that’s a crime?

0 said if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor and he wasn’t even campaigning! Can you believe that guy lied?

Cohen is wishy-washy. He is after a deal to save himself. No trust in this lying lawyer. No trust in Mueller as their goal is entrapment of Trump not justice.

Morning_Joe The educated people of America knew you did.

Morning_Joe He is answering without documentation..attorney approval.

Morning_Joe And?

Look at what Hillary said about her email server and how those were lies. Why no indictment?

No money invested. No deal made.

TrumpNationalSecurityThreat. DonTheCon. TrumpRESIGNnow.

There are no contracts for laundering money.

Yes, we all knew about it so why did you lie?

President 'Maybe I Did, and Maybe I Didn't'?

Just how gullible does he think we are?
