Trump denies calling Sessions 'mentally retarded,' 'dumb Southerner'

By Brandon Conradis - 09/04/18 11:25 PM EDT 

President Trump in a tweet Tuesday night denied allegations in reporter Bob Woodward's forthcoming book that he called Attorney General Jeff Sessions "mentally retarded" and a "dumb Southerner."

"The already discredited Woodward book, so many lies and phony sources, has me calling Jeff Sessions 'mentally retarded' and 'a dumb southerner,'" Trump tweeted. "I said NEITHER, never used those terms on anyone, including Jeff, and being a southerner is a GREAT thing. He made this up to divide!"

The last one is plausible.

Donald Trump on Bob Woodward:

"You know I’m very open to you. I think you’ve always been fair."

Any headline that begins with 'Trump denies' can just say anything in the whole wide world. If you begin an article with 'XYZ denies' then hell, you can say any damned thing you want to.
