Trump was wrong when he said the Electoral College helps Democrats

He has said this frequently so I’ll call it a lie – he should know the truth by now.

Clarification: Trump was able to win the election despite losing the popular vote because he clinched narrow wins in key swing states. The Electoral College worked in his favor because it places more weight on swing states and props up smaller states. https://t.co/YVrbEBZJbh

Trump again calls much of the news media “enemy of the people”

He sounds just like a dictator.

This is a phrase that dictators use: "our news media is indeed the enemy of the people." Stop it, Mr. President. https://t.co/ttYbe3OqjR

Trump calls the press the enemy of the people — echoing Hitler, Mao, Stalin, and Chavez with that depiction of the press — while speaking about meeting with a despot who literally murders journalists who criticize his regime. This is another sick low point in US history. https://t.co/yyGVCJa64C

Just another Trump lie. Sad!

Trump also lied about future spending:

Some more Trump lies in Europe

Just a few untrue items from Trump just now:

–said he predicted Brexit in a 2016 presser that was a day after the vote
–denied things he said in an intvw for which audio is public
–blamed Obama for Russia's annexation of Crimea

— Sarah Westwood (@sarahcwestwood) July 13, 2018

Trump’s lies are endless.

There is proof of when he talked about Brexit but he lied anyway.

He denied he said things to The Sun that are on tape!

He blames Obama for Crimea. Putin, not Obama, invaded Crimea.

Sad!

Trump attacks CNN

This is dangerous. Of course, Republican leaders won’t say anything. They have totally caved in to him. Trump’s attacks on the media just get worse.

Trump’s attacks on the U.S. media while overseas — crying “fake news” and bashing correspondents from CNN and NBC — come as he prepares to meet with (in hopes of befriending) Vladimir Putin, who jails and kills journalists.

Trump is so proud of how he snubbed CNN, that he watched CNN to see how CNN would cover his snubbing CNN, and now he's complaining that CNN isn't giving enough attention to his CNN snub. So … he may have to watch CNN to see how they cover this snub! Take that, CNN. https://t.co/wN0fa3YvR7

Two good ideas for drastic measures. Nothing will change unless something is done to show Trump his behavior is unacceptable.

I don't understand why The White House Press Corp does not get up and walk out when the President repeatedly refuses to call on @Acosta/@CNN and calls them fake news.

Imagine the statement that would make to @realDonaldTrump

And imagine the statement it would make to the world

Trump attacks May during his UK visit

Another move Putin will love. More chaos. I don’t think internal UK politics are Trump’s business.

President Trump tells the Sun newspaper:
– Boris Johnson Would Make A "Great Prime Minister
– London's Mayor Has "Done A Very Bad Job On Terrorism"
– Britain Is "Losing Its Culture" Because Of Immigration
– "The Washington Post is totally fake"

On North Korea, Trump is a chump and a liar

Kim Jong-un has really outplayed Trump.

Trump said North Korea is not a nuclear threat anymore. This is a lie. The document they signed is vague and North Korea is actually adding to their nuclear capacity.

Pompeo’s most trip to North Korea was a failure.

Trump said that some remains of US troops from the Korean War have been returned. This is a lie. North Koreans stood the US up on a meeting today on it. He also said parents of the troops asked for the remains. They would have to be 101 at least. This is almost definitely a lie.

Kim Jong-un sent Trump a flattering letter. He fell for it and said there is great progress. So far, Trump gave up the military exercise and got nothing much in return. What a chump. Sad!

Remember this?

“We got back our great fallen heroes, the remains sent back today, already 200 got sent back” – @realDonaldTrump (6/20/18)

There is clearly nothing he won’t lie about. https://t.co/g1iUCr8CI2

Now that our intel agencies have told us NK is boosting its nuclear weapons capacity and that Trump’s “deal” was a total bust, will Trump’s 40% believe him when he lies and denies the nuclear danger — just as he lies about Russia’s cyberwar on our elections? Dangerous if yes!
