President Donald Trump late Wednesday lauded the White House as "one of the most beautiful buildings [homes] I have ever seen" and bashed a "fake news" report he had called it a "real dump."

Here is the president's Twitter post:

The President Never Called the White House a Dump When Proudly Showing It Off to Me
Rush Limbaugh.com; Aug 2, 2017

<snip>

Anyway, before we sat down and had dinner, Trump gave us a tour of the White House and the residence. I had been there before, and I didn’t quite know how to handle that. I’ve been there a number of times but I don’t think President Trump knew that. And so when he said, “Rush, have you seen this?” And of course I had, no matter what it was he was showing, I said, “Never with you, sir.” And he remained enthusiastic.

But here’s the point. Wherever we went, particularly in the residence, when he was showing us the Lincoln Bedroom and the hallways, throughout the entire structure, he kept telling us how shocked he was as how luxurious the White House was. Now, the general consensus opinion going around, “Well, hell, look, Trump is a gazillionaire. He lives in a gilded penthouse on Park Avenue or Fifth Avenue. He’s got gold everywhere.” That’s what gilded means, those of you in Rio Linda. And the White House doesn’t have a lot of gold around it, and so forth. So, yeah, somebody with that kind of lifestyle, the White House might appear to be a comedown.

But he didn’t say anything other than how luxurious it was and he pointed it out, pointed out various construction things, the art on the walls, and he explained how presidents get to choose what art they want from the archives. And I made mention of the fact the Lincoln Bedroom looks entirely different than the last time I saw it. When I first was in the Lincoln Bedroom, it was a Lincoln museum in there. It was stunning.

   What a quandary, Do I believe Rush or Shipnuck? 


Golf journalist: At least 8 people heard Trump call the White House a ‘dump’

By Robin Eberhardt - 08/03/17 09:00 AM EDT 

A golf journalist is standing by his report that President Trump called the White House a "dump" despite Trump's claim that it's "totally untrue."

Alan Shipnuck told Golf Magazine that eight or nine people heard Trump call the White House a dump.

Shipnuck published a report about Trump’s golfing hobby in Sports Illustrated this week, which included the reveleation that Trump called the president’s house a “real dump” compared to his New Jersey country club.

Shipnuck told Golf Magazine that a White House spokeswoman called him to demand a retraction for the statement, but that he would not do so because he heard it from multiple people and that he believes they are credible sources.

Why not both?  Trump often says different things to different people.
