We’ve quickly discovered over the course of this presidency that Donald Trump has a really nasty habit of just outright denying that he ever knew someone after they’ve slighted him in any way or gotten caught doing something heinous and disgusting. Yet pretty much every single time, he seems to forget that people keep their receipts.
Over and over again, Trump has been busted with photographic evidence of himself with whatever individual he’s attempting to deny any knowledge of at the time.
Frankly, you would think he’d have learned his lesson by now and would just keep his mouth shut.
But, alas, it truly does seem as though you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

Recently, Trump’s former Homeland Security chief of staff, Miles Taylor, endorsed Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden in an ad with Republicans Against Trump, complete with an attack against the current president that he used to work for.
“We would go in to try to talk to him about a pressing national security issue — a cyberattack, a terrorism threat — he wasn’t interested in those things,” Taylor revealed in the video. “To him, they weren’t priorities.”
However, when Trump was confronted with the attack ad featuring his former employee, he fell back on the same tactics he’s always deployed — blatantly denying that he ever knew or heard of the guy.
“Many thousands of people work for our government,” Trump tweeted in response to the attack ad. “With that said, a former DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE named Miles Taylor, who I do not know (never heard of him), said he left & is on the open arms Fake News circuit. Said to be a real ‘stiff’. They will take anyone against us!”

But as is customary when Trump attempts to pull a stunt like this, he was smack with the truth in a matter of hours.
Miles Taylor himself responded to Trump’s tweet with a photograph of the two looking rather friendly with each other:
Alas, I’ll take the bait. Haven’t forgotten you though! I guess the only way to prove it is to tell some stories. Maybe until the election. What do you think? https://t.co/2dJhaLFNlN pic.twitter.com/m3msUsDJyZ

Just like there’s always a tweet when it comes to Donald Trump… There is always a picture.
Miles has also revealed that more former employees of the Trump administration are prepared to come forward and speak out against the president.
