You did for a few days. He even endorsed Ryan and McCain (how painful that must have been). But you can’t contain that much ego for long and now he’s back to his old ways. I wonder what would happen if Putin stopped “saying nice things about him”. That would be an interesting tirade.
They have him telling the truth about 64% of the time. That is a step in the right direction, now he just needs temperament, vocabulary, eloquence, a platform and a dollop of humility. Here come yet another re-boot. Do you think after this last re-boot we’ll do a funny make-em-up against Clinton? Or will this lead to another another re-boot? He sure does tell it like it is.
Trump has had a habit of telling demonstrable untruths during his presidential campaign. The Washington Post’s Fact Checker has awarded him four Pinocchios — the maximum a statement can receive — 39 times since he announced his bid last summer. In many cases, his statements echo those in the 2007 deposition: They are specific, checkable — and wrong.
Trump said he opposed the Iraq War at the start. He didn’t. He said he’d never mocked a disabled New York Times reporter. He had. Trump also said the National Football League had sent him a letter, objecting to a presidential debate that was scheduled for the same time as a football game. It hadn’t.
Last week, Trump claimed that he had seen footage — taken at a top-secret location and released by the Iranian government — showing a plane unloading a large amount of cash to Iran from the U.S. government. He hadn’t. Trump later conceded he’d been mistaken — he’d seen TV news video that showed a plane during a prisoner release.
But, even under the spotlight of this campaign, Trump has never had an experience quite like this deposition on Dec. 19 and 20, 2007.
He was trapped in a room — with his own prior statements and three high-powered lawyers.
“A very clear and visible side effect of my lawyers’ questioning of Trump is that he [was revealed as] a routine and habitual fabulist,” said Timothy L. O’Brien, the author Trump had sued.
“If only we could keep him from being goaded into impulsive angry engagement with each and every reporter or columnist or politician who criticizes him in any way. .“Then he could become President, and deal with our enemies abroad, who would never, ever taunt him into doing something impulsive, for reasons which we will think about… later, when he’s not saying something stupid and impulsive.”

I hope you choke on what comes out of crazy Trump’s big yapper whenever he is not on a teleprompter.
