Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsTrump tells two huge lies in almost every daily campaign rally he has been holding.
Why do the reporters, cable news, local news and every other form of news outlet call him out on these very provable lies. The first is that "a General, maybe the biggest General told me they have no ammunition". "The military had so much more ammunition than it could use that Congressional investigators recommended giving more away." Giving more away to state and local law enforcement. This was in 2016 shortly before Trump took office.
The other whopper is that the Obama Administration left the cupboards bare in the Strategic National Stockpile and the CDC was in tatters. From the midterm elections on, Obama had an uphill fight with Boehner and McConnell on funding the CDC and replenishing what was use from the SNS during the Swine Flu epidemic. Full details;

He is shifting blame from himself to Obama's Administration, falsely, on an almost daily basis, yet no one calls him out on it.

Waiting for the media to do it's job or believing that 'the American' people can see through this bullshit is a big mistake.
