During her first broadcast after taking over as host of NBC’s venerable Sunday gab show “Meet the Press,” enemy of democracy Kristen Welker interviewed Donald Trump for some inane reason and asked him if he worries about going to prison when he lies in bed at night. And if new reports are accurate, like nearly every other answer he gave during that interview, his signature “sir story” response was a lie.
“I don't even think about it,” Trump replied. “I'm built a little differently I guess, because I have had people come up to me and say, 'How do you do it, sir? How do you do it?' I don't even think about it.”
How does he do it? Well, chances are he doesn’t. As one media fact-checker long ago noted, “a ‘sir’ is a flashing red light that [Trump] is speaking from his imagination rather than his memory.” (And another notes that if Trump relates “a story in which an unnamed person calls him ‘sir,’ it’s probably invented.“)
Now there’s even more support that “sir” lied to Welker—beyond the definitive “Trump’s lips were moving, and he was neither eating a canned ham on the veranda with one hand like a Bosc pear, nor blithely admitting he’d hoped Mike Pence would be hanged.”
