The real estate tycoon's reply to George Stephanopoulos' challenge is classic Trump. As we've seen before, he and his allies talk all the way around a controversy in such a manner as to allow people to hear what they want to hear. In this case, he hedges with a flurry of 'maybes,' claiming that he hasn't looked at the issue yet (reversing himself moments later), while conceding that the ABC News anchor might be right. His hardcore supporters will interpret this as a wink and a nod. Donald's saying what he has to without betraying or condemning us. But he also repeats several times that he doesn't condone violence, statements to which his campaign can point when their candidate is accused of stoking resentment and advocating acts of violence against protesters -- which he has unquestionably done on multiple occasions. Over the course of delivering his noncommittal answer this morning, Trump made this assertion: "I never said I was going to pay for fees." Yes, he did. Here he is in Iowa last month:
Trump Tells Crowd to ‘Knock the Crap Out’ of Protesters, Offers to Pay Legal Fees during Iowa Speech
"Knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously. Okay? Just knock the hell...I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise. I promise."
Friendly reminder: Trump's "honest and trustworthy" ratings are worse than this woman's.
Like Trump was for the war before he was against it or he was for the dreamers until he was against them. Trump doesn’t need to be taken out of context because he changes the context every few minutes, hence the article posted above...
I don’t believe I have seen anything like it before.
Obama in 2008 comes close, but I don’t recall it being this far out of reality.
Show evidence, on video, and people deny its existence.
Really spectacular, indeed.
How is it Trump’s fault that the press lie about him? Is it also his fault when you spread those lies? At what point are any of you responsible for your own words?
It was my understanding that Trump stated he would CONSIDER paying the legal fees. That’s a big difference in comparison to the thread headline.
Either I’m correct in my recollection, which makes posting this thread a lie, or my memory is not correct.
You do exactly the thing you complain about.
Trump says he’s “capable of changing to anything he wants to change to”. He just changed to somebody who never said thatn, and it’s all good.
Well, if some one wants to get exacting on the English and how the phrase is given, the quote actually has Trump telling them to try not to hurt anyone and if they do, he will pay their legal fees..
It does not say, "but if you do."
It actually says that if they try not to hurt them he will pay their legal fees.
trump lies...shocker! if he gets the gop nomination he’ll deny he said he will build a wall and keep out muslims.
trump’s acting people!
It’s not a lie, but if the press says something that they take out of context he should correct it (if he disagreed with how it was being said). Politicians do this all the time, but Trump didn’t mind the story as it was told. He was fine with the way the press reported it.
Trump is the sort of liar who seems to be almost completely unaware of any of his previous statements.
Ditto for his supporters.

Cruz Bots Still Lying
It seems that Republicans are trying hard to elect Obama II.
“Who you gonna believe, me or your lyin’ ears?”
They can watch a video and deny it occurred.
It’s a level of self-delusion I’ve never seen.
I suppose this is also how they refuse to acknowledge his lifetime liberalism. I get how general voters are fooled, in that most people rely on the Drive-Bys for their information, but Freepers are generally well-informed. (Or so I thought.)
It’s been surprising.
“rump lies...shocker! if he gets the gop nomination he’ll deny he said he will build a wall and keep out muslims.”
Yep.
The fall will be shocking to the Trumpisites.
I haven’t looked at ***it*** (the legal-political analysis) yet.
I looked at ***it*** (the supporter punching the protestor) and I’m going to make a decision (as soon as my people have finished their review).
If you (were attacked and) punched back, then I’ll be on your side (his security people) in court.
I never said I would pay legal fees (to supporters) - TRUE
(To his security people) Knock the Crap out of them (if attacked)
*************************************************************
Trump haters- No! No! He said that to his supporters!
Supporter: Yawn ...
Hater: you just can’t stand to hear the truth!
Supporter: You never tell the truth!
Hater: !*@*(*^$*W(*Q)@<?!!!
Supporter: Enjoy your busting ulcers ... oh and don’t forget to MAGA!
Whoa....looks like i’m voting for Kasich now.
Thanks for this info
Poppycock. Who corrects everything the press says wrong? Name one person who does that. It’s not even possible.
Cruz Bots are KNOWN LIARS
Trump is right.
What he said was said in Jest.
Only the democrat media (and very slow minded political hacks) would understand the opposite to be true.
That’s why liberals have taken over public education, and stopped teaching children how to read and understand what they have read. Look around at all the people who have no idea what Trump said, because they don’t understand the English language. They insist he made promises he never made, and they probably believe that, because they were told to. And they vote.
