The lies, they just keep coming. The Washington Post's running tab tells us that SCROTUS has spouted fabrications, lies, and false or misleading statements 15,413 times as of December 16, 2019. At his current rate of over 30 lies per day, it's likely he's surpassed 16,000 by now.
This week's gaslighting of matters big and small:
The Killing of Iraqi general Qasem Soleimani.
He has given various reasons why he carried out the assassination of Soleimani. None of them hold water.
A briefing to Congress left at least a couple GOP Senators upset:
His own administration members have not been able to back him up.
And finally, after all the fabrications, he said it just doesn't matter.

Obamacare.
This week, unbelievably, he took credit for Obamacare and said that the Democrats want to repeal it. This is the exact opposite of the truth. I just want to scream and tear my hair out.
Curing Cancer.
Trump took credit in a tweet for reducing the rate of cancer deaths. The American Cancer Society said, hold the phone. Not so fast.
And finally, the weather.
He lies about the weather. No, not about the Hurricane Dorian hitting Alabama. This week, when the Whitewash House account tweeted this, it was 54º, on an evening when it had been a clear, sunny 70º Washington D.C. day.

What do we do with #AlternativeFacts? Fight back. Call out lies and fake news. Fight to regain our Nation's dignity.
#Resist.
