... is that the meme wasn't composed by Ford, it was an actual quote from Ronald Reagan, and one of the few truthful things he ever said. "Jelly Bean" Reagan was a world-class prevaricator, but Trump has him beat as an unrepentant pathological liar who couldn't tell the truth about the time of day.
Carney shouldn't have bent the knee and apologized; he just gave Trump power over him. BIG mistake.
