If the angry confrontation with CNN's Jim Acosta wasn't enough, Trump's post-midterm election press conference on Wednesday has gifted people another bizarre moment.

Yahoo News reporter Hunter Walker asked about allegations of using racist terms - specifically regarding a claim by rapper Lil Jon that Trump once called him 'Uncle Tom' - but as Donald likes to do, he deflected.

I don't know who Little Jon is, I really don't

Walker reminds Trump that Lil John was on the apprentice, to which he replies 'Oh, he was? OK. Oh, I see'.

The problem here is that Trump has absolutely met Lil John, not just once, but multiple times.

This was taken of the two on the red carpet for Celebrity Apprentice:

And, as Trump's Twitter has done so many times before, this tweet from 2013 is sure to haunt him.

Which means Trump has been caught in yet another bold-faced lie.

You know what that means?

Alas, much like being a decent human being, the truth is seemingly something that just doesn't matter to Trump

Allegations of Trump's racist remarks towards Lil Jon surfaced in 2016, just before the presidential election.

Trump reportedly kept on referring to the rapper as "Uncle Tom" even after several producers asked him to stop.
