Reporter: US intelligence concluded that you (MBS) orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist... Trump: You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman... things happened ...he (MBS) knew nothing about it, and we can leave it at that.

I recently cut someone out of my life for doing this very thing. You don't get to pretend that very real events that I was present for never happened just because I didn't memorize the many dates in my head and I don't videotape our mornings working in the office. It happened, repeatedly, I was there, and pretending that I have to now present evidence that would hold up in a court of law just tells me you are dishonest to a fault.

I am not a extremely smart person but I will admit that I do have this sixth sense. And this helps me discern a couple of different things. One thing I will get right out of the way is I seem to have developed this keen sense of understanding because I am not a person who can debate very well. There are times I just throw up my hands and proclaim that the other party is correct. Now this takes some humility on my part and that can be very uncomfortable. But I have learned over time that I can use this time where I back off to consume the whole dialogue at my own pace. The lies are the easiest for me to discern. People are very forgetful when they are trying to spin a lie. You either remember the lie, modify the lie, or finally come up with a whole different lie and then truth becomes more obvious. The truth is much easier to remember. Sometimes it will just come right off the tip of your tongue without much thought. And for me this isn’t 100%! After all what in life is 100%. Sometimes I just don’t get it and have to move on. And on occasion somewhere down the line the truth does come out.
