Trump obliterates his dishonesty record: 132 false claims last week, 280 for July | The Star

This is not American Media claiming this FYI – ‘Donald Trump has obliterated his weekly dishonesty record.

The U.S. president made 132 false claims last week, 19 per day, almost five times his average. That shatters his previous record of 103 false claims in a week, which he set in June.’

A breakdown of Trump’s false claims over the last two weeks:

36 at Pennsylvania rally
31 on Twitter
30 at Ohio rally
22 at Florida rally
19 to Illinois steelworkers
12 to VFW
11 in GDP speech
10 in Limbaugh interview
9 with Italian PM
5 to pastors

Trump golfs a lot.

FYI – While you are at work trying to catch that trickle down… You are paying for Trump’s legal fees.

This seems like a great idea.

‘The Trump administration moved on Wednesday to drastically shrink a government agency tasked with identifying looming financial risks, notifying around 40 staff members they would be laid off, according to a person familiar with the changes.’

Federal deficit jumps 20 percent after tax cuts, spending bill

‘The federal deficit jumped 20 percent in the first 10 months of the 2018 fiscal year, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported Wednesday.

Spending outpaced revenue between the beginning of the fiscal year, on Oct. 1, and July by $682 billion, $116 billion more than over the same period in the last fiscal year.

The rising deficit is largely the result of the tax cuts President Trump signed into law at the end of last year, as well as a bipartisan agreement to boost spending, according to CBO.’

Trump administration to hit Russia with new sanctions for Skripal poisoning

UPDATE: Russian sources have already published the full sanctions bill – ahead of any US exposure. I wonder how they got it? – in comments

Note that these are Congressional and not coming from the President. Great news all around!

‘The State Department just announced that the U.S. has determined Russia violated the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act by poisoning former Russian spy & his daughter. Sanctions will go into effect later this month.’
