Trump lawyers have a new argument to fight a lawsuit filed by protesters injured at a campaign rallyThe Homer Simpson theory of international affairs

As if he is intent on trolling the country, Trump has over the past couple of days, flip-flopped on the following campaign statements.

One by one we are keeping our promises - on the border, on energy, on jobs, on regulations. Big changes are happening!
This comes on the heels of not throwing Hillary Clinton in jail, not getting involved in Syria, not getting Mexico to pay for the wall, not repealing Obamacare, not tearing up the Iran nuclear deal, not re-negotiating NAFTA and, at least to date, not making America great again.

I don't know whether the lawsuit overall is valid, but it's no surprise that the lawyers for the Liar in Chief are lying about Trump's clear intent at his rallies. I like how Trumpette Alvin Bamberger is throwing Trump under the bus. Not that it's a surprise, Trump and his Trumpettes are all about blaming others for everything.

Vogel reported.
Bamberger's lawyers also argued that any damages awarded to the protesters in the case should be paid by Trump or his campaign....
