I bet Carney was being clever in the way he said it and Trump, too dumb to get it, heard what he wanted to hear

Or, hear me out, Trump was just like "yeah Mark Canada, terrific guy, loves me, everybody says so, most say so, some people say so but definitely everybody says so, he told me, sir, you’re incredible, can I have the password to the tree-house sir, please, he said that. He couldn't climb up there, Obama couldn’t do it, beautiful treehouse, the best passwords, very secure. He said don’t tell anyone, so I’m telling you. People drink water, I told him, I drink alligator piss, that’s strength. Canada loves me. Believe me folks."
This is amazingly accurate. I hate it.
it isn't, and I hate how I struggle to emulate his stupidity. I don't speak pig, I don't think pig, I just know a pig when I see one, and they go oink oink, how do you translate that to human.
Why would anyone believe the Trump admin that Carny called them up to say this?
Because there are multiple screens inside people's homes and in their pockets that 24/7 tell them that.
I believe Carney and Trump did have the phone call that the CBC has reported on in this article.
I believe that too.
When dealing with the clown carnival that is the trump administration we need a good Carney.
I hope he really means “no”
