Trump Caught Yet Again in a Blatant Lie

Donald Trump denied calling the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, "nasty" despite the comments being recorded on audiotape.  Trump made his remarks about the duchess in a Sun newspaper interview ahead of his state visit to the UK.

"I never called Meghan Markle 'nasty'," he claimed, adding: "Made up by the Fake News Media, and they got caught cold!"

During the 2016 election, Markle supported Hillary Clinton, and at the time referred to Trump as "divisive" and a "misogynist".  When told of her comments during his interview with the Sun, President Trump said it was the first time he had heard them.  "I didn't know that. What can I say? I didn't know that she was nasty," he said.  The Sun posted an audio recording of the interview on its website.

Following Trump's denial the day after the interview was published, several commentators pointed out that the remarks were on tape.  Not that it would matter to someone as narcissistic and uninformed as Trump.
