As you may have heard, Donald Trump appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live Wednesday night, an appearance that resulted in The Weeknd canceling his performance in protest, in addition to Bernie Sanders bizarrely agreeing to debate Trump prior to California’s June 7 primary, despite not being the front-running Democratic candidate.
For the most part, Kimmel lobbed softballs at the polarizing candidate, yet incredibly that didn’t stop Trump from lying and contradicting himself at every turn. Of course when 90% of what comes out of your mouth at any given time is a load of horse crap, it’s kind of hard not to constantly contradict yourself. Teeing off in the above clip, Kimmel asked Trump about his uncharacteristically progressive stance on the LGBT bathroom debate, in which he previously admonished North Carolina’s bathroom bill, telling Matt Lauer, “People go. They use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate.”
Unfortunately that was April of 2016 Donald Trump. May of 2016 Donald Trump refuses to take a stance on the issue, as he told Kimmel repeatedly, “Let the states decide.” When pressed for his personal opinion on the subject, Trump refused to say, saying only, “I think the states will do the right thing.” As to what the right thing is? “I don’t know yet. I mean, I don’t know.” Refreshing.

In other areas, Kimmel asked Trump about his past support of Hillary Clinton — whom he now refers to as “Crooked Hillary” — in both 2008, saying that he thought she would make an excellent president, and again in 2012, lauding Clinton as “terrific.” Allow him to explain:
When I am a businessman — I had a beautiful story recently where they said, ‘Trump is a world-class businessman’ — and all over the world, we’re doing jobs, I speak well of everybody. If people ask me about politicians, I speak well. So when they ask me about Hillary, she’s wonderful, everybody’s wonderful, and that’s the way it is. They ask me for contributions, I give contributions.
Interesting. This from the man who publicly demanded that the President of the United States give up his birth certificate. But hey, everybody’s wonderful!

Finally, and this should come as little surprise, but Trump continues to deny that those recordings from his “publicist” were, in fact, him. “It didn’t sound like me, though, really. You think that sounded like me? I don’t.” Yet Trump readily admits to having used aliases over the years in real estate. “I would never want to use my name because you had to pay more money for the land. If you’re trying to buy land, you use different names.”
In a nutshell: “I used to use fake names all the time, but that time I swear I totally wasn’t.” Seems legit.
