What do you want? Home movies he made? Proof his apartment or wherever couldn’t see it when it happened?

I’m curious why you’d say “embroidering”....

Embellishes. Trump is one of the great ones though I am prone to it myself admittedly.

It’s a crafting term, adding detail to a fabric to make it prettier or more interesting.

Trump does that when speaking to crowds, when he’d be just as persuasive if he’d stick to the basic facts of a story. The difference, of course, is that embroidery thread is solidly attached to the underlying fabric. Trump’s embroidery doesn’t hold up well under scrutiny. That is a problem for a candidate who needs to be taken seriously.

He’s somewhat like the little boy who cried “wolf.” You never know when he’s telling the simple truth or whether he’s spinning.
