What it felt like to be in the Rose Garden today. “The entire extended, violent fantasy involving women bound with duct tape did not appear to be preprogrammed into the teleprompter at all.” @Olivianuzzi https://t.co/luPxgwcGvm

Trump is telling his "four women" "duct tape" "backs or cars or trucks" "desert areas" human trafficking tale again. Again, human trafficking experts tells me they've never heard of this happening; just isn't how it usually works. https://t.co/ZQAF6bvbKV

#Trump is claiming:
1. Mexicans have amazing cars, better than the Border Patrol.
2. Women are crossing border bound up with tape.
3. Prayer rugs left in the desert.
Nobody has found ANY evidence, but all three can be found in #SicarioDayOfTheSoldado a recent fictional movie. pic.twitter.com/FyD6DkS6pF

POTUS also told his tale of duct-taped women again, but in tonight's version there was also electrical tape, and he described it as "blue" at one point, per two attendees. One attendee thought blue was intended as a joke.
