I don’t think Trump **lied** about the endorsements. It does sound, though, based on Trump’s own press release from a few days ago, that Trump was bragging about endorsements when many had just signed up for a meeting.
Many of the pastors have already appeared in Trump’s office in Manhattan before. He knows these people very well and has prayed with them on many occasions.
Trump’s people are pros. They don’t put out an announcement without having everything confirmed.
What happened is yesterday there were some social media facebook, twitter like discussions from some pastors who said they had been invited but who declined because they dod not want to be seen as endorsing Trump. But the 100 that were announced were not interviewed, only the apparently disgruntled ones who weren’t attending anyway.
So the scumbags in the media jumped in and tried to make it look like Trump had overstated when in fact he had not. The 100 who are endorsing him are still attending but their names are going to be kept private for their security.
The leftist press is scum. But too bad for them that the American people are now on to them more than ever before.
Trump says that he was told these were endorsements but I agree there was dissension in the invitees who went to the media way before the press conference was cancelled.
