More Trump lies – 7/8/19 update

In 2016, all that free air time, and not calling a lie a lie, tilted the scales. Are we looking at a repeat performance? https://t.co/eslh5BqBWN

FACT CHECK: Trump promotes fake Ronald Reagan quote about him

While the photo is real, the supposed quote is fake. Reagan never said of Trump, "…when I met that young man, I felt like I was the one shaking hands with the president." https://t.co/nCrYsHxOaT

President Trump retweeted a photo of himself shaking hands with Ronald Reagan with a fake quote attributed to Reagan that read, "I felt like I was the one shaking hands with a president."

The account that originally posted the meme was later suspended. https://t.co/6tFPxX4nkx

AOC was not mentioned on any cable news program until June 26, 2018 (the day she was elected). Shockingly, Donald Trump is lying about this. https://t.co/GCzjGsf2wF

I'm finding one reference on Fox News or Fox Business to Ocasio-Cortez before the AP called her primary race. It's a Fox & Friends "Primaries to Watch Today" segment the morning of the primary, and features a Republican pollster saying of Rep. Joe Crowley, "He's gonna win." https://t.co/wxEPZqQsxB

The president appears to have fabricated a claim that Barack Obama was “begging” to meet with Kim Jong Un and was turned down.https://t.co/g30I23t3W9

Indeed, there’s zero evidence of Obama or any previous president begging for a meeting with a North Korean dictator. The pitiful “begging” opponent is a staple character of Trump’s fabrications. https://t.co/ffHcADro7n

Independent experts and former Obama officials say Obama not only didn't "beg" for a meeting with Kim Jong Un or Kim Jong Il, he never considered seeking one in any way. My fact check on Trump's latest imaginary history: https://t.co/SwiK1tentb

Trump told the troops in South Korea yesterday that he got them their first raise in nearly a decade.

The troops have gotten a raise every calendar year since 1983. It’s every year since 1961 if you ignore an administrative quirk.

Trump: "I never thought about being a politician until two days before I decided to run. A little before that.”

In fact, he volunteered to run as Bush’s vice president in 1988, launched a campaign for president on Reform Party ticket in 2000 and considered runs in 2004 and 2012.

Not disingenuous, just lying again. Trump defends environmental record that critics call disastrous https://t.co/5sj1v9mWCi
