Great minds... I immediately thought of that and found a version by Rita Moreno — see below in thread.

The uploader has not made this video available in your county.

So I searched on YouTube for the title. If others can't see it try:

I did some maintenance on the hard drive and it doesn't do that anymore. I did a browser cleanup, a disk cleanup including system file cleanup and restarted my computer and a lot of stuff worked better.

When he gets the virus his lying will hurt him as much as it does to breath for normal people stricken with the virus. No ventilator to help him lie. Just gasping to lie.

There is a definite lack of will at the national level.

An appropriate level of will and leadership would've proactively worked to AVOID an epidemic rather than just hoping one no one noticed the epidemic, lying about the epidemic, and then pretending to be a hero while incompetently fighting the epidemic.

Green - like poison? But make it obvious that what he has said is false. They’d spend most of their time putting up the warnings that what we just heard was a lie. No sugar coating it either. Call a lie a lie.

when there are actual words they can read I think it would effect more people. Just my take on it. And yes, the word LIES must appear instead of "untruth" or "incorrectly".

I don't know the limitations of these chyrons but there should be a universal way of marking his falsehoods.

Shimmering, really small font, maybe a golden rainbow background?

"Trump incorrectly says U.S. has tested more than anyone; per capita S. Korea has done 5X more, Italy 4X more."

I couldn't find that exact quote on CNN but here is their "Fact Check" page that nails him to the cross many times:

He also said that it's not true that he was briefed on the virus back in January by U.S. Intel. I wonder if they caught that. I'm confident that the lie will be told again and again. They'll have plenty of chances. Especially since I heard someone report that some of that information wasn't classified.
