    Why would it be laughable to think this is true? And why do you assume that he is telling the truth?

    Edit: I can’t read

      You think the president of the US would first hear of a fuck up of this magnitude from the press?

      I’m sure that even before the article was published they were trying to think of a way to silence it in a way that wouldn’t make things even worse in the next 24 hours. That’s why Trump was up there preemptively trying to discredit The Atlantic despite claiming to not know anything about his own administration’s incompetent bullshit.

      It is laughable to think this is true because Trump follows news about himself and his administration quite closely, and this is all over the news.

      It is also characteristic of Trump to say he “knows nothing about” all kinds of things that he wishes he knew nothing about, from George Papadopoulos to Project 2025.

      I do not assume he is telling the truth. I assume he is lying. My interpretation is that the commenter you are responding to also thinks that he is lying, because it would be laughable to think this is true.
