Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsTrump is lying again about the West Point ramp he couldn't walk down almost a year ago!
"Now when I made the best speech I've ever made, they said it was at West Point. And it was pouring and I had a ramp that was an iceskating rink," Trump falsely claimed.
It was not pouring, it was a sunny day in June and there was no ice on the ramp. In fact, earlier that same day, MSNBC law enforcement analyst Clint Watts posted a video showing the "amazing weather for West Point graduation today."
"So I walked gingerly down that was on every newscast in the world and I never went down," Trump said, despite there should have been no danger of him falling while walking down the ramp. "I never went down, either, I never went on my ass, I'll tell you, I wasn't going to fall."
"I think that was a boobytrap," Trump said.
"I'll never forget that ramp, that was like a sheet of ice. It was cold, rainy and that ramp was long and steep," he falsely claimed.

(32,086 posts)I watch Hal Sparks' week-nightly streams, where he picks apart and mocks the shit out of Trump's rallies and interviews, Fox/Newsmarx/OANN/RightSide broadcasts, Rudy's and Juniors videos, etc. Trump brings up the ramp thing every damn time, along with a litany of petty grievances and bullshit self-aggrandizement, like a broken record. It's all he has.

(63,221 posts)I do not understand how such a moronic, deranged, ignorant, drug-addled, vulgar, blithering idiot can have so much power over so many people. I really don't. It just blows my mind.
It's like being stuck in a never-ending episode of The Twilight Zone.

(5,403 posts)Trump still mulling over this all that time ago?
It made him feel vulnerable at the time, so he has to embellish it, make it more dangerous than it was, so he can feel a Hero who overcame Immense Odds.
Reality and video tape don't get in his way.
Just your average senile grandpa retelling tales of his heroism in his younger days.
Nothing to see here, move on!

Donald just makes up his lies as he needs them, even if it contradicts his earlier lies.

There is no reason, no logic. We attended a seminar end of May and in one session one quote stood out, "its not the person, it is the disease."
Trump needs help of loving family......
Whoops, that's not happening.
Just a really sad state of affairs!

(17,183 posts)His MAMMOTH ASS is finely tuned to counterbalance his GARGANTUAN GUT. Or as Dr. Charles Atlas (the inventor of Dynamic Tension!) once put it, "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down."
Still, since this was more than ten feet, I would have thought West Point would have provided a golf cart with the optional "tons o' fun" suspension package.
