Any writer who attempts to list all of Trump’s lies in the 16 months and 19 days he has been in office, would not be able to complete it for about a week, and the writer would be exhausted. I think that I will begin reporting his biggest ones each day.

Although his tweet about French President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was a ‘whopper,’ there are two others I feel more ridiculous and reveal Trump’s continuous need for attention, and his desperate need to find one accomplishment which actually belongs to his administration.

At yesterday’s FEMA meeting, he decided to praise the Coast Guard. He claimed that they rescued dozens of small boats who sailed from Texas into the gulf to watch the oncoming hurricane last year. There is no record of this lie in any news service or official documentation. Lie number one.

The second is another effort to take credit for something which actually began during President Obama’s administration.

A new $1.5 billion ‘aluminum roll out plant’ has opened in Kentucky. Trump is claiming that its construction was the result of his new and foolish tariffs. The fact is that this plant began its first stages of construction in the final quarter of President Obama’s second term. Lie number two.

Trump is nothing more than a pitiful liar, and a dirty old man; he is not an American president.

More to come; same blog, same truthful writer.
