@realDonaldTrump
President Donald J. Trump is the greatest hostage negotiator that I know of in the history of the United States. 20 hostages, many in impossible circumstances, have been released in last two years. No money was paid. Cheif Hostage Negotiator, USA!

https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/25/politics/otto-warmbier-north-korea-comatose-bill/index.html
Washington (CNN) The North Korean government presented the United States with a bill for $2 million for the hospital care of Otto Warmbier, the American college student who was held as a prisoner by Pyongyang, and insisted the US sign a pledge to pay the bill before releasing him from their custody in 2017, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
A third source familiar with the matter, as well as President Donald Trump, said the US didn't pay.

(56,828 posts)you can almost 100% guarantee that the money was paid.
The "third source" I'm guessing is Rudy Giuliani or somebody high up in the White House, or else Trump himself

(11,885 posts)Just look back at all he's claimed and always its the opposite of what he says. He is the worst at everything he's done but claims he's the greatest all the time. Its propaganda , and that's why he attacks the truth so much , it won't work with the truth exposing him.

(384 posts)IMO this might be his scariest tweet ever because it absolutely lays bare his insanity and pathological mendacity, and yet nobody in the Congress or press is going to say a fucking word. We wouldn't allow a 5 year old to get away with something like this but here we are crossing yet another Rubicon of crazy.
Waiting for Kelly-Anne and SHS with the "but the black guy wore a tan suit" response.

(4,750 posts)Chump can't even lie well, and his desperation is showing.
There is no way this is an actual quote from the "Cheif" Hostage Negotiator, whose name has apparently slipped Chump's fine mind.
He doesn't seem to realize he has tells ("greatest," "in the history of the of the United States," "in impossible circumstances" and that we have all seen him make self-serving claims not borne out by reported facts. The misspelling is the final evidence that the entire tweet is a phony quote by "John Barron," who as we know pulls his information out of his ass.
