I am sure he has told this lie dozens of times. Does anyone ever correct him to his face?
Trump lies that he got Veterans Choice passed after others had tried for almost 50 years, though Choice was a Sanders-McCain bill signed into law by Obama in 2014, and he's said this more than 142 times and how do I not have a keyboard hot key for this yet

Tuned in to the president's ongoing Arizona "tele-rally" just in time to hear him claim he got Veterans Choice approved

Trump, who signed a 2018 law that modified the Choice program but did not create the Choice program, has now claimed more than 145 times to have created the Choice program. (I never have an exact count because by the time I've caught up he's said it more.) https://t.co/1ub4h7iyFl

LIE. @BarackObama signed the VA Choice Act — sponsored by @BernieSanders — into law in 2014. https://t.co/4GKFDQ0mhv

Trump slams Obama and Biden over their handling of the VA, then says he, conversely, approved Veterans Choice. Obama signed Veterans Choice into law in 2014.

Trump talks about school choice, then, because he said "choice," proceeds to repeat his lie that he is the one who got the Obama-era Veterans Choice program created.

“We got Choice approved for the vets,” Trump lies about the Sanders-McCain bill signed into law by Obama in 2014.

Is any reporter EVER going to call him on the veterans choice LIE?

Wow. At this veterans event in the east room, @realDonaldTrump is talking about how “we got VA accountability passed” instead of repeating his done-to-death lie about having signed VA choice into law.

Donald Trump said his administration passed veteran's Choice after a 50-year wait. The policy dates to the Obama administration: https://t.co/7eBPaPRPoe #TulsaTrumpRally

Asked what his greatest accomplishment is, Trump lists, among other things, how "we got" Veterans Choice, a program actually created in 2014 under Obama.
