Trump Refuses to Answer Question About Lying to the American People
-------------------------------------------------------------------

During Thursday's press conference, President Trump refused to answer
when asked if he regretted all the lies he's made to the American
public. This is Trump being questioned by Huff Post senior White House
correspondent S.V. Dáte.

S.V. Dáte: "Mr. President, after three-and-a-half years, do you regret
at all all the lying you've done to the American people, on everything?"

President Donald Trump: "All the what?"

S.V. Dáte: "All the lying, all the dishonesties."

President Donald Trump: "That who has done?"

S.V. Dáte: "You have done."

President Donald Trump: "Uh."

S.V. Dáte: "Tens of thousands."

President Donald Trump: "Yeah, go ahead. Please. Please."

Dáte tweeted he had waited to ask that question for years. A Washington
Post tally finds Trump has made more than 20,000 false or misleading
claims since taking office.
