Fact check: Trump made 87 false claims last week, including 40 in a single day
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump made 87 false claims last week, using relentless dishonesty to defend his dealings with Ukraine and his decisions on Syria.
Trump made 40 false claims last Thursday alone, including 30 at his campaign rally in Dallas. Thirty false claims is his highest total for a single rally during the 15 weeks we've been counting at CNN; 40 false claims is his second-highest single day total over those 15 weeks.
Trump's total of 87 false claims was the third-highest for the 15 weeks, though it was down from 129 false claims the week prior.
This was equal-opportunity deception. Trump made 17 false claims about military matters, 17 related to Democrats' impeachment inquiry, 15 about the economy and 12 about trade. He treated a visitor to the White House, Italian President Sergio Mattarella, to 25 false claims in their consecutive joint interactions with the media.
The most egregious false claim: The safety of the Kurds
Trump made it hard to pick a most egregious false claim about Syria and Turkey. Among other things, he claimed that troops he is sending from Syria to elsewhere in the Middle East are coming "home," that the Kurdish PKK is a more severe terror threat than ISIS, and that his narrow, concessionary ceasefire deal with Turkey had been sought by other administrations for 10 years or 15 years.
We think this one was the worst: As Turkey attacked Kurdish areas of northeast Syria, Trump said, "In the meantime, our soldiers are not in harm's way -- as they shouldn't be -- as two countries fight over land that has nothing to do with us. And the Kurds are much safer right now, but the Kurds know how to fight."
The Kurds were obviously not at all safer.

Continues to lay the groundwork for the "he can't testify because he'll lie" defense.
Crafty bastard

PM Blackface is such an immature ass.
You would probably cheer on another faceplant moment on the world stage by a corrupt racist
They're both unprofessional.
Trudeau is an airy-fairy flake and Trump is an impulsive bully with no plan.
Here is an article illustrating the poisonous and subversive nature of LIE-beral social justice warriors!! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Meet the 'American Students Last' lobby
By Michelle Malkin

Filed Under: Toronto SUN/ Opinion/ Columnists
Who is funding the militant illegal immigrant youth army of thousands of entitled “Dreamers” that marched to Washington, D.C., for the U.S. Supreme Court hearing this week on President Barack Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty program?
Follow the money; find the truth. I’ve got the “Open Borders Inc.” breakdown for you of so-called DACA financiers and enablers on both sides of the political spectrum. Call them what they are: the “American Students Last” lobby.
(It is remarkable how many people are coming to believe that their lives can only be improved by wrecking the lives of others!! The LIE-beral fondness for whining about “systemic racism” is encouraging people to fail!! A person who does not have a job because they lack education and have a crap attitude to the world is NOT being racially profiled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Let’s start with Charles Koch. The libertarian billionaire has thrown his weight and fortune behind an amnesty brigade called the LIBRE Initiative. While the establishment right purports to oppose identity politics, LIBRE wraps itself in the mantle of “empowering Hispanics” to “advance liberty” and “prosperity.” Koch has poured more than US$10 million into the ethnocentric group since 2011 under the slogan “Limited Government. Unlimited Opportunity.”
Translation: driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants, in-state tuition discounts for illegal immigrant students and securing a Congressional deal to codify the Obama administration’s blanket deportation shields and work permits for 800,000 illegal immigrant students if the Supreme Court strikes the deal down.
(In other words Koch wants to save the world - at the expense of ordinary citizens!! Koch wants to dole out token money for his good deed and let others figure out where the govt aid money will come from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Koch operatives send out weekly press releases urging Congress to “Protect Dreamers Now,” “Achieve a permanent solution for Dreamers” (hint: It’s not deportation), and “act promptly on relief for Dreamers.” Along with the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity, LIBRE sponsored a “pop-up art exhibit” propagandizing the benefits of illegal immigrant Dreamers to coincide with their march on Washington on Tuesday.
(In other words soft hearted and weak minded LIE-berals like Obama deceitfully created this DACA MESS knowing fully well the Yankee public would not support it and that there would be costly trouble with it down the road!! It is the usual LIE-beral deceptive and short sighted end run around public opinion!!!!!!!!)
(The worst of it is that LIE-berals are demanding SO MUCH that if a moratorium on deporting DREAMERS is announced - LIE-berals will take it to mean a TOTAL MORATORIUM on all deportations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(LIE-berals have PROVEN just how hostile they are to the rule of law - by warning illegals of planned ICE raids - and by releasing illegals who have been convicted of SERIOUS CRIMES back into the community while ignoring deportation orders!! Nothing says “screw your laws and beliefs” quite like putting the rights of rapists and robbers and killers ahead of the national interest!!!!!!!!!!!)
Next up: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Big Business lobbyists for cheap labour have prioritized illegal immigrant amnesty legislation since 2014, when the Chamber dumped $50 million to protect border-jumpers from deportation and win them employment authorization documents. “Stripping DACA recipients of their ability to legally live and work in the country will harm them,” the D.C. fat cats lamented this week.
(Uh huh - and we have the same sort of madness here in Canada as well- with LIE-berals fretting over our lack of exercise and bad diet and obesity - and then letting thousands of temporary workers into the country - to labour in fast food joints - so the cost of the junk food that is killing us will be kept low and McProfits kept high while Cdn kids go unemployed!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Then, there’s Facebook. All week long, young users of the Silicon Valley giant’s Instagram app have been fed heart-tugging ads highlighting Dreamer families and their activist sisters and brothers, including the George Soros-funded street demonstrators of United We Dream, Make the Road New York and CASA de Maryland. Facebook’s lobbying arm, FWD.us, disseminated a letter from 10 of its illegal immigrant Dreamer employees “in solidarity with” all immigrants living and working here in violation of our laws. FWD.us has shelled out $430,000 on immigration lobbying this year alone.
Open borders Catholic Church elites have had a busy “illegal immigrants first” month so far. The Vatican and bishops’ conference spend hundreds of millions of donations on illegal immigrant shelters, legal teams for dubious asylum claimants, and community organizing activities promoting sanctuary policies and profiting off the backs of border-trespassers, who in turn enrich smuggling rings and drug cartels.
The NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice marched from New York City to D.C. with DACA recipients, according to the group’s press secretary Lee Morrow (who makes sure to let Catholic colleagues and journalists know that his pronouns are “he/him”). Leaders of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops convened masses at the border to condemn patriots who use the accurate term “invasion” to describe the violent siege in the Southwest. Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles pledged that “we will never abandon you” and enlisted American churchgoers to pray for illegal immigrant families.
(It is remarkable how often LIE-berals AVERT their eyes when any proof of the COST of becoming an illegal is discussed!! A great many hire those Coyotes who know the border and have information on the movements of border guards and who can provide fake ID and temporary homes and etc - that illegals do not know how to get on their own - and Coyotes DO NOT WORK FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(A good many illegals end up owing HUGE SUMS to the Coyotes for their travel arrangements and it is equivalent to owing to loan sharks!! In the case of a conventional loan shark and average citizen - you pay or you will bleed!! But with illegals - the sharks do not want to hurt your earning potential by injuring you - so if you do not pay - then it is your family back home - where the police presence is less efficient - THAT BLEEDS - on your behalf !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Organized crime is a cancer in our land and the illegals are feeding that cancer!!!)
(The Catholic church has a doctrine of doing “least harm” in any questionable situation - clearly the church is prepared to seriously damage the lives of ordinary people as they seek to aid illegals who are being preyed upon by criminals!! The Catholic judgement in this case is SERIOUSLY OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Microsoft and Princeton University jointly filed the Supreme Court briefs on behalf of Dreamers suing for the right to stay here illegally. Princeton also lobbied on Capitol Hill to extend the endless “temporary protected status” and work permits of 300,000 low-wage workers from Central America. Microsoft has punched American students twice in the gut, leading the charge not only for a massive pipeline of illegal immigrant youths but also for millions of H-1B and F-1 foreign student visa holders.
(Those who operate post secondary education institutions LOVE foreign students because they can be PRICE GOUGED more than regular students!! Here in Canada - our federal LIE-beral govt is now offering student loans to illegals who
were DREAMERS in United States - with NO GUARANTEE those loans will ever be paid off as there is no reason the illegal will not soak up our education and then go BACK to United States and with better English and a good Cdn education in hand they are more likely to get Yankee citizenship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Even The New York Times now acknowledges the obvious reason Democrats are throwing American youth under the bus: mass uncontrolled immigration both legal and illegal is turning America radically blue. But what about Beltway Republicans and establishment Swamp conservative think tanks and college groups? Where is the defence of American students fighting to make a decent living while competing with unrelenting floods of foreign workers at both ends of the wage scale?
Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk blithely advocates stapling green cards to foreign student diplomas and his speakers have shouted down America First students as racists and losers for challenging the donor class on demographic realities. Who needs SPLC smear merchants with “friends” like these? Shamefully, no right-leaning groups bothered to muster up their own army of American students to counter the Koch-Soros-Silicon Valley-Vatican-backed hordes on the Mexifornicated steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. The job of combating the American Students Last lobby has been left to anti-establishment outsiders — Proud Boys, Groypers, displaced U.S. tech workers and other dissidents unmasking Open Borders Inc.’s controlled opposition. On Tuesday, I was called a “Nazi” by a young GOP operative for supporting American students first.
(There is the stark reality - that our school system is promoting the LIE-beral agenda and to many of our kids lack the insight into the scale and scope of the poison and thus do not respond!! Western civilization is complex and LIE-berals carefully HIDE the connections between cause and effect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Keep shooting the messengers, civilizational suicide squad clowns. If the goal is to make America disappear, you’re winning.
(LIE-berals WILL BE defeated in the end - the only REAL QUESTION is this: “how much damage will they be allowed to do before we call a halt to their bullsh+t”?????????????????????????
Have to agree to disagree here, Sleepy. While Trump is a bit like a "bull in a china shop", basically what you see is what you get, he doesn't try to hide much, whereas Trudeau is a sneaky, slippery little shit who does a poor job of turning on the charm. Trump has no charm.
