Larry Kudlow insisted that President Donald Trump “doesn’t make things up” and that it’s “very rude” to suggest that he does.

On Tuesday, the director of the National Economic Council was asked by a reporter outside the White House whether Trump fabricated his recent comments on the long-standing Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan.

“The president doesn’t make things up,” replied Kudlow, who also said that it was “a very rude question” and that he wasn’t in a position to comment. He later added that Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo or national security adviser John Bolton was better suited to answer the query.
