According to the Lancet, the Trump administration fabricated a report in a letter threatening to defund the U.N. health agency.

On Tuesday, one of the world's top medical journals said that Donald Trump lied in recent letter to the World Health Organization, which threatened to permanently withhold funding from the agency.

The letter, sent Monday, stated that a review of the organization's response to the coronavirus crisis found that it "consistently ignored credible reports of the virus spreading in Wuhan in early December 2019 or even earlier, including reports from the Lancet medical journal."

The letter also stated that the Trump administration would withdraw its support of the organization if it did not "commit to major substantial improvements in the next 30 days."

However, contrary to the claim in the letter, the Lancet did not publish anything about the new coronavirus in December 2019.

1. tяump 'made up', like as in his orange made up face

[gratuitous]

2. Somebody else fucked up

Trump, like any inveterate liar, knows that you never get too detailed with the lie, because that's where you get tripped up. Trump would have said, "including reports from a very well-respected medical journal." Identifying it as the Lancet leaves the liar open to being contradicted, as the Lancet did.

Trump will ignore the evidence that he lied, but if that proves untenable, he'll blame the lie on some underling, he never saw the letter, you can't hold him responsible or accountable for what appears above his signature, and Obamagate!
