The Hill reports:
Stephen Moore, an economic adviser to President Trump, said that he thinks that the president “should stop saying things that are untrue.”
“I think when Trump says things that are false, that does undermine his presidential authority and I wish he wouldn’t do it,” Moore told host Mehdi Hasan on Al Jazeera’s “Head to Head.” “He should stop saying things that are untrue.”
Hasan then pressed Moore, asking him “So he’s a liar?” Moore seemed to balk, admitting that Trump is “an exaggerator” and that he believes “it gets him in trouble,” but saying he wouldn’t call him a liar.
Stephen Moore, Trump adviser: “He should stop saying things that are untrue.”
Me: “But he does say things that are untrue.”
Moore: “He does.”
Me: “So he’s a liar?”
Moore: [laughs] I’m never gonna say that.”*NEW* highlight from my @AJHeadtoHead interview:pic.twitter.com/X2Yo5rXQw9
