Possible lying?

Well if trump is denying he said then he said it!! Lol 😂!! 🤥🍊🤡

realDonaldTrump doesn’t really matter. He would rather masturbate a bobcat with steel wool than go up against the R and A. Besides two reasons it isn’t in the rotation, 1. He thinks he is Prez of the US and 2. He has made so many silly changes to the course it’s too touristy

Everyone should believe him. After all he always tells the truth. Riiight!

Trump lies all the time

A Pathological Liar !!

Never heard so many denials from a President! Why is that?

He also has short term memory loss.😂😂😂But donnys fantasy world is getting old. If he just told one thing that was true there mite be hope. But hes just hopeless.

Who cares?

MORE LIES FROM TRUMPO THE CLOWN

BS

Was the event held at his resort? Answer is NO! So what are we trying to do NYT andABC? CREATE the next false trump scandal? What happened to MARY TRUMPS book? we all thought you guys had the GOTCHA info to bring him down! You truly are the enemy of the people!!

who was fired before johnson and why? believe johnson. the gall of trump to think British Government would send their sport to his golf club.

Nothing surprising about this ..the man is crooked and a liar

Trump the king of lies and deception and manipulation and lies is the son of lies Trump is hateful and disgusting by his actions!!!

Really 😩

Who asked the stupid question?

Of course he denies it. What's one more LIE in a list of many?

Whats the British ambassador say?

Trump used mafia tactics to get what he wants without to have him directly implicated.

Why not? Sounds like a good idea.

You cannot believe him he is constantly lying !!!!!!!

The primary reason his plan failed was his foreign policy of not having one if he had he'd know that getting the UK Gov to lean on the Scots is like Trump telling Mexico to build a Wall. Countries that live in bubbles eventually breathe stagnant air.

Trump can deny as much as he wants but it is on record the he asked the Scottish government for a grant to help with his golf course, I believe the Scottish people but not Donald Trump because their are just lies coming from his mouth 😂😂

I believe Trump over the media any day. Trump is a very honest man.

Cowardly lies again.

realDonaldTrump has no credibility. He only tells the truth by accident. When that happens he sends out his nest of rats surrogates to clean up the mess. 🤣🥃🧨🔥🏛🐘💩🧻💯🇺🇸

Lol. Where is there is smoke, there is fire.

Always denials.

The President of the United States is a liar

Who ? The guy who wishes well to a sex trafficking criminal ? He is telling the true.

Dude it dont hurt to ask ffs go report some actual devastated people whom just lost some one they have loved due to this pandemic rather than report this shit

I don’t believe him. He cried wolf too many times.

Oh Jesus, oh Jesus.

Which means of course he did. 😂

🙄

At this point, if he denies it and claims it's false then it must be true.

This is so on brand, yeah, he did!

How many times has this unfit man lied in the past 3.5 years. Why do we continually ask him questions the we already know the answers to?

The word at the WH for the foreseeable future is deny deny deny, lie, lie lie. It the one and only skill, you don’t need to teach trump

Okay, when honest Donald denies it it must be fake news 😂😂😂

It also says that the UK officials denied being asked, so this isn't just President Trump denying this. It's another unverifiable claim denied by all but one of the parties involved.

today he say yes, tomorrow he will say no to the same question, this is the trumpvirus.

Trump is a cowardly liar. Big surprise right?

The election is getting closer so the Democratic controlled media will run more bullshit stories about trump . The bias news reporting in America has reach a point where 75 to 80 percent of Americans don’t trust the news . If they aren’t fear mongering, they are outright lying.

Look at trump do sports

Oh, well, if he SAYS he didn't do it, very, very strongly, then, I guess he didn't.

🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

Funny, because plenty of folks said he did and I believe them far more than I believe his lying ass.

It would be a 'fairway' of getting it though.

Great work here groundbreaking news as always

Of course, Trump denies it. Does anyone actually think this narcissistic psychopath would ever admit to wrongdoing?

The President is also a pathological liar. QuidProTrump

Stop reporting gossip and report the news. Antifa terrorists are burning Portland down while you’re focused on nonsese.

Report this as 'trump speaks against reported facts....or lies'

Okay that settles that. He’s the President and he would not lie, it is an important job he has.

Folks! He lies and denies. Stop making this the news of the day.

Again, Trump is a proven liar. Just stop.

More of Trump lie, deny, deflect and attack. He will do this with every, verbal or non documented situation or statement! Why do people keep buying these lies, and denials? Even if this one is now backed by UK, one phone call could have fixed that. Watch reward to UK soon.

If Donkey said it, you can bet on one thing......its a lie.!!!!

He’s lying

I'm sure we should believe him.

How greedy are you ?

Smh! Y'all know trump is a liar so why are we surprised. I've been said Trump is using his presidency for his own personal gain

18k years ago Scotland was covered by an ice sheet extending into the north sea.natural climate warming caused ice to melt and 8200 years ago the melt water created the English channel, covering doggerland Atlantis .Plato had the location wrong.

Stop committing voter suppression. Inform the public of other candidates JoJorgensen2020 VoteGold

ONCE AGAIN, realDonaldTrump ABUSES HIS AUTHORITY! THE MAN HAS NO CREDIBILITY IT'S CLEAR HE SUFFERS FROM EARLY ONSET DEMENTIA! AN HABITUAL LIAR, HE CAN REMEMBER WHAT HE SAYS, SO HE DENIES HOPING TO GET AWAY WITH IT! WHAT ABOUT PUTIN'S BOUNTY? HOW COME HE'S NOT RESPONDING? DNC

So it’s true.

Of course he denies it! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Well you should say President is not telling the truth

Do you expect him to admit it?

ABC with the important tough reporting

U.K. and U.S. Tighten Diplomatic-Immunity Rules After Teen’s DeathBritain and the U.S. agreed to tighten diplomatic-immunity rules for American staff at a military base in central England, after a British teenager died following a road accident involving the wife of a U.S. diplomat stationed there. In certain cases involving friendly allies immunity should not apply to criminal behavior . A family member should not have the ability to do whatever they like with no risk of prosecution . There have been a lot of USAF members being pulled over for speeding like an idiot, and getting ticketed, and from what I understand lose their “wings” in the US lately.
