President Donald Trump Insisted His Renoir Is Real, Even Though It’s Fake | AM Joy | MSNBC

To have one president who believes his own lies is pretty bad but to have millions of Americans who are too stupid to see through them, well, that is scary.

[UglyShadowChannel]

Well that painting is as real as his University.

What can you expect we know there's nothing he won't lie about He was not raised to be honorable or honest He's a little little person Can't say Man Hes not even close to one

45 reminds me of some bratty four year old. That behavior: lip stuck out, stubbornly insisting certain things are real when, in fact they aren't, is acceptable and understandable - with a four year old. But NOT FOR THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD..then, it is delusional.

[kutrabilada]

Isn't that what very young children do? As parents we teach them about being truthful and eventually they grow up learning righ from wrong.

[joeschatz]

He can't accept that he got taken advantage of in an art deal. Denial alert!

[johnkeith]

Like anyone would buy a "real Renoir" from Trump. I hate con men. We all should give him some push back in 2018...

[Tenshiakuma]

You have to thank Roy Cohn, his former attorney, for this mess of a President. I think it really tells you something when he continues to take the advice and "teachings" of a lawyer who was disbarred for doing what Trump is doing now.

Tim O'Brien does a terrific, subtle impersonation of a younger Trump, the way he sounded at the time O'Brien knew him. Really great. "It's an original Renoir."

[gcprost]

He can't admit it is not a real Renoir because otherwise he would have to admit he was duped when it bought it.

[jaimedelgado]

The Renoir is REAL !! Just like his tan his hair his 3 marriges his university his integraty and dedication to the American ppl!!

[Jethwright]

Guess the art of the deal doesn't apply when you deal with art?

[zissou]

Does he even know how to appreciate Renoir?

[eldueno]

Hey if he thinks it's real then it's real. Trump's philosophy.

[zaqvoir]

If Trump has to say "this is an original Renoir" you immediately know it isn't an original. why use the word "original"? just say "this is a Renoir"

[dominiclabriola]

That Renoir story is actually hilarious!! rofl

[tamasmarcuis]

If you wanted to write a film character of the typical buyer of forged paintings it would closely resemble Trump.
Just offer it to him for half the normal price. He would then invest his personality in telling people only he could get an original Renoir for half price.

[josephparker]

This is exactly the point that during the GOP primaries that the other business leader warned about. Its times like this I wish we had the MIT graduate and Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina as our president.

What insurance firm would allow you to put an original Renoir on an airplane?

The bogus fraudulent shyster is a dangerous psychopathic, narcissistic megalomaniac.
