WaPo Trump Fact Checker

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/

I knew that WaPo had some sort of database (because lordy, how could you keep track of them all?) for all of Trump’s lies, but I’ve never actually used their interactive database before.

It’s pretty amazing.

I am fed up with all the politicians who just can not tell the truth, the president especially. He wants to take credit for everything when n reality he has done nothing to make America great again what a joke…
he is constantly pumping himself up and wants to undermine everything Obama did. WTF is his trip? Is he so insecure about his ability to run the country that he has to boast and brag about how he has accomplished more in his first 8 months than ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATION LIES ,LIES, AND MORE LIES… The insanity of it all has got to stop.
I apologize for carrying on like that but sometimes i need an outlet to say how i really feel. Thanks Matt
