The alternative facts President

[transporter]

For all his errant swings at the facts, President Donald Trump sometimes gets it just right.

“There’s been no first year like this,” he told a Florida rally last month.

Were truer words ever spoken?

This Department of Corrections has certainly never seen a first year like this. Falsehoods and exaggerations have tumbled relentlessly out of Trump’s Twitter account, speeches and interviews, the vast majority in service of his ego.

Other presidents have skewered the truth — George W. Bush on the pretext for the Iraq war, Barack Obama on the benefits of “Obamacare” — but Trump is of a different order of magnitude.

The president routinely presents his intended actions as achievements (“Obamacare” is dead, money is “pouring” into NATO), and inflates the significance of what he’s done (calling his tax cuts the biggest ever and his accomplishments unrivaled in history — neither true). He exaggerates the problems he inherited (roads and bridges are in “total disrepair and disarray,” the border was “wide open”), lays out fanciful goals (6 percent economic growth), and doesn’t learn from mistakes. Instead he repeats them.

Moreover, Trump often bypasses the vast information-gathering apparatus that reports to him in favor of getting his reality from TV, or just his gut.

As a side experiment in reality, you can also listen to the word of Sen. McConnell who today proclaimed that he had no idea what the President was for as it relates to the current stalemate over DACA, border security and the budget. 9 days ago this same incompetent President claimed he would sign whatever Congress sent his way even if he didn't like it because he "respected Congress that much". Now he throws a little tantrum at every suggested solution.

I suppose this is likely just another creative way for the President to get people to look away from the investigations into his pre-election behavior.

I suppose this is likely just another creative way for the President to get people to look away from the investigations into his pre-election behavior.

Or another less-than-creative attempt at creating diversions.

We decide.

It's Mitch McConnell who is incompetent. If he doesn't know what Trump wants ,why doesn't he get an appointment and go talk to trump and find out.
By the way why doesn't Congress send something over. That's their job, Not pissing a bitch every day.
