He lies about everything. [View all]

And when he gets away with it, he doubles down and tells a bigger lie.

In my opinion, we would be better off without a White House Press Corps. He uses them to spout out his lies and they never call him on them.

Then they are recycled thru FOX News and right-wing propaganda outlets.

Which are then injected into the brains of their viewing audience, mostly which is the MAGA movement.

For example, he will say in response to any question, that this is the best economy in the history of the nation. He will say that he has the highest approval polls ever. He will say that the 2020 election was stolen and that the Federal government needs to take over the polls in "at least 15 places". Then, he will lie about what a great job ICE is doing.

No one in the White House Press Corps will dispute him. If someone attempts to ask a question about the Epstein files, for example, he will fly into a tirade about what an awful reporter they are and ask why they never smile? He never answers the questions.

Then FOX News and Newsmax and other propaganda outlets all replay his responses. Their viewers know nothing more. They are misled and misinformed and they never know the true facts.

Lawrence O'Donnell has been on this issue for some time. He calls them cowards, which they are. But they are more. They are accomplices to murder.
