Just saw this. Probably one of the thousands and thousands of evil Trump's "lies":

CNN Reporter Shares Heartfelt Note to Her Cancer-Stricken Friend From Trump and Melania: ‘We Are So Inspired’

There has been little love lost between President Donald Trump and CNN over the course of his time in the White House. But on Thursday, one of the network’s reporters shouted out the President — and First Lady Melania Trump — for a heartfelt note to her cancer-stricken friend.
CNN White House reporter/producer Betsy Klein posted a screenshot of a letter POTUS and FLOTUS sent to a family friend named Lillie who is fighting brain cancer.
“We are inspired by your strength and spirit as you take on cancer with uncommon courage,” the Preisdent and First Lady wrote. “You are in our heartfelt prayers.
“Always remember that there are many people in your life who love you and support you. We are all on Team Lillie!”

I did not compare the number of lies. Nobody knows the real numbers. I don't know of any compilation of the number of lies told by all the Presidents. I doubt that it would be possible to compile such. Especially if the criteria for being a lie that is applied to Trump was applied to all other Presidents. If being wrong about something, misspeaking, having a different opinion, getting dates mixed up, and so on, are all to be considered lies, there's no telling what number of lies any other politician has spoken.

What I consider fairly consistent is the use of the lie by nearly all politicians as a means of 24/7 campaigning. And, up to this point, the consequence of Trump's supposed "lies" have not led to the catastrophes of some past Presidents, even so-called great ones.

Just some perspective re Trump "lies" you might want to consider. Or not.

When his taxes are finally released the big lie he sold his base, that he is a brilliant businessman, will finally be exposed. I also suspect that it will also become clear Trump is indebted to a foreign power for the fact he suddenly had a massive influx of cash to go on a buying spree in the early to mid 2000’s.

So you think that he never provided a birth certificate or it was never reviewed by any government agencies before he became president?

I am not sure how you came to that conclusion paulS. However, please hold your breath waiting for the tax returns with the rest of the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&s.

I do feel sorry for you bc you never post anything constructive - just insults. Is it bc you really can't construct an intelligent response?

You get called out and still have nothing intelligent to add. Must suck going thru life that way.

The jabs will only escalate as the economy slows, the trade war starts to cost consumers more money and investigations tighten around Trump. Ignoring everything from one of the equal branches of government is going to eventually bite the executive branch in the butt, they will loose that game eventually. Meanwhile Trump is hugging another autocratic leader, like so many before, he would love to have the same power and the ability to take control of almost all the media in the country.

I called you out and pointed out that you never add anything to this form other than childish insults. If others want to take your childish insults they can do that. However I'm not.

You made a confusing comment about Obama's birth certificate, I asked a follow-up question and your answer was an insult . That is standard for you.

I really don't use Facebook much sorry. Plus I never talk Politics on Facebook.

;) I've actually unfollowed a few people on FB who posted constantly about politics. Too much in your face. If I don't want to discuss politics here, I just down look at this forum.

Between the latest ruling and order from judge to release tax records and a new NY bill about to pass making his state tax records available, Trump is starting to feel the heat. No doubt he will appeal, but the stalling can only work for a time.
