    emptywheel Retweeted Donald J. Trump

    I guess this is as close as Trump gets to admitting (someone else told) a lie?https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1046135994267963392 …

    emptywheel added,

    Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump
    Senator Richard Blumenthal must talk about his fraudulent service in Vietnam, where for 12 years he told the people of Connecticut, as their Attorney General, that he was a great Marine War Hero. Talked about his many battles of near death, but was never in Vietnam. Total Phony!

        Trump's apartment in Trump Tower is on the 65th Floor -- of a 58-story building.

        My recollection (I'm not a Connecticut resident) was that @SenBlumenthal should have called himself a Vietnam Era service member rather than imply that he was stationed in Vietnam. Trump is the last person to ridicule any man's response to the waste of life of the Vietnam War.

        "Many battles of near death." He catches someone lying but has to lie about the lie. Gee, he must have been reminded of his own mortal combat that nearly killed him during his Vietnam in the trenches of the Manhattan dating scene.

        Who else lies? Hmph. In a 2014 address to Yale Law students, Brett Kavanaugh recalled a night of “group chugs” in Boston that ended with his group “falling out of the bus onto the front steps of Yale Law School at about 4:45 a.m.”https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/28/us/politics/brett-kavanaugh-fact-check.html …

        Wasn't it Blumenthal who used the latin phrase, "false in one, false in everything", in the hearing? So if Blumenthal has lied about his service record, what else is he lying about?

        I don't think Blumenthal ever claimed any specifics about combat, did he?
