In his previous term, Trump told about 30800 documented lies. So that means Trump told us an average of 20-25 lies every single day including weekends.

This is Day 1 of another 30000+ lies coming your way. I can remember a time when people got really mad every time they realized the President lied to them.

That never ceases to tickle me. One of the few Brave and upstanding things he ever did. He got in the office looked at the numbers and said crap I was wrong we need to raise taxes. Did the right thing for once and they hated them for it. Of of course there's an argument to be made that Ross Perot is what cost him the election

tbf congress did play a role there. but ultimately, bush could have sent it back, and didn't.
