Trump’s attacks on Maxine Waters are disgusting

Maxine Waters (like millions of us) has been tough on Trump. First, he said she had a low IQ. Now, he says many say she is corrupt. He has supplied no proof for either statement. Sad!

wow … https://t.co/JgBc2RsofX

Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!

"I did not call for harm for anybody, the President lied again."

— Rep. Maxine Waters responded to comments from President Trump who called her a "low IQ" person on Twitter. https://t.co/i4ySf8DzZR

Trump lie about auto imports

Not true!

The article states: “Together, Mercedes, BMW and Volkswagen imported less than a million cars into the United States in 2017, not “millions.””

Trump lie about GDP

The article states “This is inaccurate two ways. First, the most recent saw GDP growth of 2.0 percent, not 3.2 percent. And second, exceeding 3 percent GDP growth in a quarter is not an unusual achievement — Obama accomplished it eight times. The real achievement would be a full year at 3 percent, which hasn’t happened under Trump yet.”

Fox News acts like state-run media

They just back up anything Trump says and give lots of coverage to his rallies.

Fox News promotes Trump's rallies throughout the day and airs them in full, giving him millions in free advertising. https://t.co/EGFfgfdYzI pic.twitter.com/MuugcZxsh3

Fox lets Trump lie for hours and hours

It doesn't take much. Either she wants something from Trump or he wants something from her.
Either way it's nauseating.#moneyhoney https://t.co/RcDmelUWRU

Fox Biz prez Brian Jones has issued a statement defending Maria Bartiromo: Her "wide-ranging" Trump interview "made news on multiple fronts and elicited answers to numerous questions. We are proud of her hard work and continued success across each of her FBN and FNC programs." https://t.co/ZapAqxcRcD

“Surely Fox News reporters will press the White House for comment, right?" @brianstelter asked. "If they don’t do that, if Fox ignores this story, it will be another sign of the Fox/Trump merger.” https://t.co/wQ8oI8EncU

Trump lies when he said ICE liberated towns from MS-13

He started saying that the day he hired Kelly last year and never stopped https://t.co/35ygaQCmSE

— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) June 30, 2018

Exactly! I am from Long Island and Trump always makes it sound like we are being controlled by MS-13 and that they are teeming in the streets. Just not true. It’s fear mongering at its absolute worst

Trump’s lie on Saudi Arabian oil production

Trump said he got Saudi Arabia to increase oil production. Saudi Arabia won’t say that. It’s just another of Trump’s endless lies.

= lie. Saudi agreed to raise oil production already, at an OPEC meeting. it wasn't because @POTUS asked. Literally everyone reported it including @FoxNews @FoxBusiness https://t.co/lct8llBzyU

— Sam Vinograd (@sam_vinograd) June 30, 2018

I may be just a small-town political economist, but I reckon that Saudi Arabia would be awfully hard-pressed to boost oil production by 2 million barrels-per-day. https://t.co/3BhcnvJQnZ

Saudi Arabia does not confirm agreement to increase oil production, despite Trump claim https://t.co/Du3zosoLB6 pic.twitter.com/n299z5k0br

— The Hill (@thehill) June 30, 2018

This is also a lie. Saudi agreed to raise oil production already, at an OPEC meeting.

Trump's entire existence is about taking credit for things other people accomplished.https://t.co/LZQJAGVSNP

A senior Saudi official said the kingdom has made no specific promise to President Trump but rather assured the U.S. of its capability to meet oil demand. https://t.co/Qc3TbblYur

— The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) June 30, 2018

Is #Trump manipulating oil reserves to benefit Russia and Saudi Arabia? It sure looks that way to me. We currently have the equivalent of almost 2 years of imports in our reserve. The IEA recommended red line is 3 months. Why is he waiting? https://t.co/TPQfvjgkw8 via @usatoday

How can we have a civil discussion on immigration

Your president:

When people come into our Country illegally, we must IMMEDIATELY escort them back out without going through years of legal maneuvering. Our laws are the dumbest anywhere in the world. Republicans want Strong Borders and no Crime. Dems want Open Borders and are weak on Crime!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 30, 2018

Democrats don’t want open borders

Democrats don’t want MS-13

Democrats don’t want crime

How can we talk to someone who lies about what we think? Trump doesn’t really want to negotiate on immigration. He wants to keep it alive as issue through the 2018 election to get his bigots riled up.

Trump lied but his tweets show the truth

How dumb does Trump think we are? (Don’t answer that.) He encouraged congress to pass an immigration bill and now, three days later, lies and said he didn’t. There’s a tweet to prove he did. He lies every day.

Seems fair to say Trump lied today. Unless he completely forgot what he tweeted 3 days ago? https://t.co/TnedJCto9H

— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) June 30, 2018

I know nothing seems to matter sometimes but remember this tweet from THREE DAYS AGO IN ALL CAPS since Trump is saying he never pushed Republicans to vote for the Goodlatte bill that failed. https://t.co/VsFOP9VGSo

— Josh Dawsey (@jdawsey1) June 30, 2018

Trump has a pattern of dishonestly distancing himself from political failures – Ed Gillespie, Roy Moore, Obamacare repeal and more – but this is next-level gaslighting.

— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) June 30, 2018

update:

Dear @SpeakerRyan: Last week @realDonaldTrump screamed this:

"HOUSE REPUBLICANS SHOULD PASS THE STRONG BUT FAIR IMMIGRATION BILL, KNOWN AS GOODLATTE II, IN THEIR AFTERNOON VOTE"

Today he threw you & GOP Members under the bus. Good luck negotiating a budget with this man in Sept https://t.co/ivI3otcWeW
