Hi, I'm Jennifer, one of the people that edit Wait Wait, and every single week we have to cut some stuff from our live show simply because we go over time. For example, last week Peter sneezed in the middle of a sentence. If only he'd take off his glasses. And that was really fun, but we had to cut it. So here's something that we didn't have time for from our show in Richmond, Virginia last weekend. It is time for a game that we like to call The Trump Dump. Some weeks

the Trump news squirts out faster than Eric Trump's hair gel. When that happens, we cover it all. We cover it true or false, rapid fire style for you guys. Ready to play? Yeah. Here we go. Tom, true or false, after Seanfire style for you guys. Ready to play? Yeah. Here we go. Tom, true or false? After Sean Spicer was eliminated from Dancing with the Stars this week,

Donald Trump tweeted that the show was rigged. True. No, it's false. After Spicer was eliminated, Trump deleted a previous tweet supporting him. Maeve, true or false?

True. That is true. It's called the MAGA Challenge. Yeah, I've entered. Have you? Sorry. Luke, true or false, a Trump administration official was fired after being caught lying on her resume, including making a fake Time magazine

cover with her face on it. 100% true. No, it's false. She did fake her resume and the Time cover, but she has not been fired. Gotcha. Tom. She's promoted. Tom, true or false, new congressional testimony revealed the top diplomats were unable to discuss the delay of Ukraine aid because they were too busy trying to figure out how to buy Greenland. That sounds awfully true. It is true. Maeve, true or false, this week Rudy Giuliani,

Trump's cyber security advisor as well as his lawyer, had to go to the Apple store because he got locked out of his iPhone. True? No, that's false. That happened two years ago. had to go to the Apple store because he got locked out of his iPhone. True. No, that's false. That happened two years ago. This week, he accidentally texted his password to a reporter. Tom, true or false, on Saturday, Rudy Giuliani announced his plans to discuss the impeachment proceedings in a press conference with reporters.
