After Trump announced that a Delta Force team had killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, he said: “[The Russians] were very cooperative, they really were good… Russia treated us great. They opened up, we had to fly over certain Russia areas, Russia-held areas. Russia was great.”

As with everything Trump says, real journalists had to fact check his statement. They discovered two things; Baghdadi was dead, but the claim about Russia?

The Russian Defense Ministry’s spokesman, Major General Igor Konashenkov, refuted President Trump’s statement, stating in part: “The Russian Defense Ministry has no reliable information about U.S. servicemen conducting an operation for ‘yet another’ elimination of the former Daesh leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in the Turkish-controlled part of the Idlib de-escalation zone.”

So, who do we believe? Trump has never told the truth once in his life. Whenever he says, “some people,” or “a lot of people,” we know that he means himself and himself alone. Whenever he claims something is true, we know it’s false. His words are always contradictory to the facts.

Trump’s biggest lie sickens me because millions of Americans believe him. He constantly claims that he and his administration ‘have accomplished more than any other presidential administration in history.’ Some of my own family say, “look at all he’s done.” When I ask them what that might be, the only answer offered is ‘the economy.’  They usually refuse to believe me when I inform them that all of the positive events in our nation’s economy were begun by President Obama. His ‘tax reform’ literally gave more money to the wealthy and removed programs from those who need them most. Trump’s ‘accomplishments’ are nil.

When foreign nations begin calling our illegitimate president a liar, something has to be done. The orange man must be impeached.
