Okay, I confess. I was there. The snacks were good, but no booze. Except some guys had flasks of vodka, but they wouldn’t share. I was offered Kool-Ade, but I didn’t drink any. I could swear I saw some Dopers lurking in the shadows. ---

I was just there for the taco bowl. ---

No, but I was at his meeting with the North Koreans. Oh, wait … I think I wasn’t supposed to talk about that. ---

That was me in the corner, with the surreptitious video camera tucked into my g-string. Oops. ---

I was the waiter. When things got slow they asked me to tell funny stories. But there was no translator so half the room was dead silent. ---

I might have been there. If I was, it was a nothing burger or it was to help kids get adopted. No big deal. Why are we even talking about this? Let’s talk about the real news – Hillary’s emails! ---

I got stuck in traffic. By the time I got there everyone was gone and the cleanup crew were dismantling the bleachers. ---

I tried to go. Who knew? Trump Tower isn’t handicap accessible. ☹ There’s actually a sign in the parking lot, “ **Wheelchairs are for losers.** ” ---

I didn’t have time to be there in person so I video-conferenced. It was kind of boring, I mostly just played Solitaire while they talked about rigging the election. ---

I wasn’t there, and anyone who says I was is lying!. I totally wasn’t. Fake news! And if next week you find some evidence I was there, then OK I was, but I wasn’t listening or talking. I was just there to water the plants. And if the week after that you find records of me participating it’s only because, having ended up in the meeting by accident, I got drawn into the conversation. And OK, yes if in a month’s time it turns out that there are emails showing that I was the who organised the meeting, set the agenda and chaired it, it’s only because Obama made me do it by not preventing me. ---
