Just some of the lies described on Twitter by Daniel Dale who does a great job.
Trump falsely claims that people had been trying to get a Veterans Choice program passed for 45 years, and "I got 'em both passed." Choice was passed under Obama in 2014. Trump's law makes changes to the existing program.

Trump lies again that he has eliminated the estate tax. His tax law merely raised the threshold at which it has to be paid.

Trump falsely claims the New York Times apologized post-election for its "bad coverage" of him. Its letter to subscribers was not an apology, it was a sales pitch. https://t.co/R6Sl8ZUR5L

Trump scolds Tester for voting against Gorsuch, whom he says was "first in his class at Harvard." A Harvard spokesperson tells me Gorsuch wasn't even in the top 50 in his class. He graduated cum laude; dozens of people in his year were magna cum laude.

Trump repeated his usual inaccurate description of the pre-Trump NATO situation, saying he told other leaders: "YOU'RE DELINQUENT. I'm in real estate. We say YOU'RE DELINQUENT." Nobody was "delinquent"; many of the countries simply weren't meeting a non-binding spending target.

For the ninth time, Trump claims that NATO Sec-Gen Jens Stoltenberg told the media that NATO members spent $44 billion more last year. Stoltenberg said it was $41 billion.

Trump repeats his usual NATO lie: "For years, NATO spending was going like this," making a downward motion. It rose in 2015 and in 2016, before he took office.

Trump says Jon Tester's opponent Matt Rosendale is "now leading in the polls." That is not true, at least in the couple of public polls. https://t.co/iu2ra13t5R pic.twitter.com/GdLHaz1yp8

In "most states," Trump says, he is more popular now than he was on election day. That is not true.

Sad!
