Here's an early 2016 campaign instance of Trump saying something that his aides had to reverse engineer, and that set off a chain of events that he kept reacting to, trying to explain his own comments at different points nytimes.com/politics/first…
First it was being open to a Muslim registry, then insisting he hadn't said that while claiming he saw "thousands" of Muslims cheering in NJ on 9/11. Then when he was called out for that and asked for proof, he pointed to an old @sergenyt clip from the Wapo right after 9/11 ...
...that referenced officials investigating reports of celebrations on rooftops, but not confirming they existed. When @sergenyt was asked about this, he said he did not recall thousands of cheering Muslims. Trump mocked him personally. Then claimed he didn't know @sergenyt so ...
...he couldn't have been mocking him. Except that @sergenyt had interviewed him years earlier, in person, and had traveled on the inaugural Trump Shuttle trip up the east coast. Fin.
