No newspaper wrote that. ("I know more - maybe I'll tell, maybe I won't" is another Trump bullshit tactic.)Appearing for a long interview with Howard Kurtz’s Media Buzz on Fox News, the former president was asked whether he would backtrack on the bizarre falsehoods [about Haitians in Springfield, Ohio].
[...]
“Well I don’t know if it’s true or not true,” he said.
In some astonishment, Kurtz repeated the president’s words: “Eating the pets—you don’t know if it’s true or not true?”
“I read something,” Trump began to recall.
[...]
“It’s been debunked,” the host clarified.
Trump dug in deeper.
“Well what about the goose, the geese? What about the geese? What happened there? They’re all missing,” Trump said.
Trump’s revision of “they’re eating the dogs” was first blurted in a rally in Arizona last month. His claims were followed by online speculation surrounding an image of a man in Ohio appearing to carry two geese, but local officials said the picture was taken after the geese were killed in a car accident.
“Howie, Howard, I have no idea,” he continued. “I said something. The big problem is that you can’t put 30,000 people to a 50,000-person town or city and expect the city to survive or even do well. What they’ve done to Springfield, Ohio, is very very unfair.
“There are a lot of stories, and there are a lot of other stories that I’ve heard. I just haven’t said it. Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. That’s a story that was reported and I said that. Why don’t you go after the newspaper that wrote it? Don’t blame me.”

What a nasty little child.“I think it’s been debunked by local officials,” [Kurtz] said.
Appearing increasingly frustrated by the tough line of questioning, Trump clapped back at Kurtz.
“I don’t think it’s been debunked at all. I think nobody talks about it except you.”
Order in more ketchup at Mar-A-Lago. And a body guard for Howard Kurtz.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
