Donald Trump didn't tell the truth 83 times in 1 day

https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/02/politics/donald-trump-lies/index.html

Trump is averaging -- AVERAGING -- 30 false or misleading claims a day in the last seven weeks. And, per the Fact Checker, he often of late soars far above that average. As one example: On October 22, when he traveled to Houston to hold a rally for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R), Trump, said 83 untrue things in a single day. 83!

The scope of Trump's falsehoods is literally breathtaking. In the 649 days between his inauguration and October 30, Trump has made 6,420 claims that are partially or entirely false. That includes a number of assertions -- that the Russia probe being overseen by special counsel Robert Mueller is a hoax, that the Trump tax cut was the biggest in history -- that Trump has repeated ad infinitum. He's said the Russia investigation is a hoax or a witch hunt 157 times and claimed his was the biggest tax cut ever 120 times, according to the Fact-Checker.)

As that is the rarity. Stop the presses, trump said first truthful thing in 3 days, he got Friday correct.

Being called liar has no effect. But mocking him...well he ca not tolerate. The media should mock him at every chance

No more lecturing Democrats GOP. I refuse to hear your moralizing. NEVER AGAIN will you have that bullshit morals/values argument. Bunch of damn hypocrites.
