BOY SCOUTS DENY TELLING TRUMP HIS WAS 'THE GREATEST SPEECH THAT WAS EVER MADE TO THEM'
Newsweek ^ | August 2, 2017 | Harriet Sinclair

The Boy Scouts of America is disputing President Donald Trump’s claim that group leaders told him his was “the greatest” speech that was ever made to them.

Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, the president said his speech _ which was unusually political for a Boy Scout event _ had been praised by group leaders in a transcript released by Politico.

“I got a call from the head of the Boy Scouts saying it was the greatest speech that was ever made to them, and they were very thankful,” Trump said, also disputing claims the crowd gave a mixed reaction to the controversial speech.

All of the not scouts? Some of the not scouts? Two of the boy scouts?

The crowd sure was cheering for him for some reason. Maybe the homosexuals didn’t like it.

Yup, and we’re going to believe Newsweek, or more properly, Newsweak.

Every day....thousands of teachers in our public schools give political fodder to our babies. AND....they believe it because they never hear the other side.

Those Boy Scouts are entitled to their opinions. And they enjoyed the President. Those young men are not stupid.

Define “...head of the Boy Scouts..”

Could that be a Troop Leader? Some mid-level Scout Executive? Who knows? You know for sure the Libtard leader of the Boy Scouts of America will deny he ever said any such thing to Trump.

What is your point of dispute? Are you saying that you do not believe Donald Trump made the quoted statement, or that you do not believe that the BSA executive says something different ... or what?

***WARNING***

Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.

We should be mostly publishing the truth on FR, not the lies, and as much good news as possible to bolster morale. We should find and post reliable sources that have already deconstructed the lie and replaced it with the truth and with a headline that says the truth. We need much more of that on FR IMO. The key is the headline and the first few sentences because not everyone has time to drill down. The endless stream of negative, lying headlines sabotages our purpose IMO.

Every black eye, every kick in the teeth, every insult and affront this president gives to the enemies of my freedom only makes me appreciate him all the more.

The democrat party, the GOP elites, the deep state, the EU, the globalist elites, big media, big entertainment, big sports and all their sycophants, junkies and groupies have clearly demonstrated that they are committed, visceral enemies of my Creator-endowed rights and freedoms.

But sure as the sun rises, here’s the “media” spinning it as negatively as possible

Insanity and immaturity and no credibility

I bid $.01 for newsweak . . and not one cent more

Wow, the drive-bys are still really obsessing over this speech.

I can only guess that they were seriously bothered by the sights—and sounds—of 40,000 young people cheering Trump, instead of booing him, which is what they probably fantasized would happen.

The NAMBLA scout masters and the scouts with badges in rump rangering were not pleased.

I recently spoke to a scout who was actually there.

Said that news coverage is completely wrong (no surprise) and that the scouts generally enjoyed President Trump's speech. He - and the scouts around him - liked the digs at Obama. Reading between the lines, I think that they liked the rebelliousness. Obama had been president through most of their lives, and here's a guy on stage metaphorically sticking out his tongue at him.

No idea what the kid's politics are. Didn't matter. Gave me a little hope for the future

This story and the intent behind it perfectly illustrate the pathetic attitude of lefties to this President. This is completely childish! It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. These people are going bonkers. Trump is driving them absolutely bonkers.

Never mind. It IS funny. It's hilarious watching them all go off the deep end.

Is it even available in print anymore? I thought it was now online only. After reading this erudite essay I can't imagine why everyone wouldn't buy a copy. /s

As the Dad of an Eagle, and possibly a second, I must say kudos Mr. President. Loved the speech!! Inviting you was the first thing I’ve seen the National Scouts do right in some time!
