President Trump on Friday dismissed his own Theresa May take-down interview as “fake news” while he grasped the Prime Minister’s hand and insisted they have a “bond like no other.”

Speaking alongside her at a joint press conference at Chequers, the President said he does support a trade deal with the United States and the UK in wake of Brexit — comments that stand in stark contrast to remarks, many of them critical of May, published by “The Sun” Thursday night.

“I didn’t criticize the prime minister. I have a lot of respect for the prime minister,” he told reporters.

But in his interview — published while May hosted a dinner for him at the Blenheim Palace — Trump said her “soft” Brexit plan, which seeks to maintain some economic ties to the EU, would “kill” any trade deal with the U.S. He also suggested former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, who stepped down earlier this week in protest of May’s Brexit proposal, “would be a great Prime Minister.”

Trump continued on to tell “The Sun” he would have handled the negotiations “much differently,” adding May decided to ignore the tips he’d offered.

He sang a seemingly different tune Friday, claiming that British tabloid omitted his praise of May and that his staff has the entire thing on tape.

“I said tremendous things. Fortunately, we tend to record stories now so we have it for your enjoyment if you would like. We record when we deal with reporters. It’s called fake news and we solve a lot of problems with this good old recording instrument,” the President said.

It's on tape, out of his own mouth. Published by his buddy Murdoch.

Oh wow. The accused rapist who everyone thought was a villain a year ago is now going to be a villain.

Thanks, Len.

Must be nice to draw more hate than Putin from a country that was annexed and invaded by Russia multiple times.

No. We're getting closer to "collusion"--which is a tricky term, since it's debatable whether or not it's a crime--being legitimized.

Unless it's proven that voting booths were hacked in his favor, Trump was voted into office.

Democrats like yourself need to stop thinking "collusion" is a magic wand. It's obvious to everyone right now that there was coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign. Now what?

Welcome to Scotland, Mr. President.

A daredevil protester greeted President Trump by paragliding feet above his head shortly after he arrived at his private golf club in the Scottish countryside Friday night.

The propeller engine-powered paraglider held a massive yellow banner emblazoned with the words “TRUMP: WELL BELOW PAR #RESIST” while floating just above the President as he mingled on the lawn of his Turnberry resort shortly after 9:30 p.m.

Greenpeace UK took credit for the highflying stunt and a video of the incident shows Trump nearly tripping on a curb as Secret Service agents rushed him inside.

This is a horrible day for America. But at least he owned the libs, right? !

This is me.
He’ll get a second term. It’s just life, now. Whatever’s the absolute worst for the people is the best for politicians. They don’t even try to hide it anymore. Nobody’s coming forward to put an end to it. The democrats are just as feckless as any other group and the republicans are blood drunk. God, I hope I’m wrong, but why would I be?
