Trump deflects
When asked if he had secretly taped his private conversation with former FBI Director James Comey, President Trump took several weeks to respond. Trump obfuscates, deflects, embellishes, and lies. That is Trump’s proven pattern.
So why should any reasonable, intelligent person believe Trump?
In those several weeks, Trump could have destroyed tapes. That is a more believable scenario. The scorpion’s nature does not change.
