“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 told the Journal, according to a transcript obtained and published by Politico.
“Even the president of Mexico called me,” Trump said with reporters present in the Oval Office. “Their southern border, they said very few people are coming because they know they're not going to get to our border, which is the ultimate compliment.”
An official with the Scouts said Wednesday that the organization was not aware of such a phone call. Last week, Michael Surbaugh, the chief scout executive of the Boy Scouts, wrote to parents that he “regrets that politics were inserted into the Scouting program.” Sanders told reporters Wednesday that Trump was referring to in-person conversations with “multiple members of the Boy Scout leadership, following his speech there that day,” who she said “congratulated him, praised him and offered quite powerful compliments following his speech."
A statement issued later by the Mexican president’s office disputed that account, saying: “President Enrique Peña Nieto has not had any recent telephone communication with President Donald Trump.” Sanders told reporters Wednesday that Trump was referring to an in-person conversation with the Mexican president that took place last month at the Group of 20 Summit in Hamburg.
Does anyone else have trouble remembering whether something happened in a phone call a couple days ago or in person last month? Our President is a pathological liar, and it sucks for Sanders that she has to stand there covering for lies.
