The Liar-in-Cheif is at it still.

falsehoods? LIES call them what they are LIES!!!

Your choice of words here is telling. Instead of inaccuracies, you use the word falsehoods. Telling indeed. A clever way to shape opinion and impose your own opinions.

Of course he did. He’s just one big lie.

Hardly surprising...

His lips are moving = he’s lying.

Media of conflict, journalism is dead.

YOU CAN'T BELIEVE ANYTHING ABC TELLS YOU

ABC news call the what they are LIES! ABC why are you sugar coating what fanatics call a sin? If they lie call them a liar!

How come no democrats is ever fact checked? USA press are political hacks.

Lol Shocking

So sick of the media describing his lies so euphemistically. Its not a 'falsehood' or a 'mis-truth' or 'factually incorrect' or 'straying from the truth'. IT'S A LIE. PERIOD. And he doesn't have a 'strained' or 'unusual relationship with the truth'. HE'S A LIAR. PERIOD.

And as Pence looks at 45 adoringly,,,,. Pathetic

Fact check : FAKE NEWS

I'm sure they were hanging on his every word. Does he write his own Shit?

Fact check: & GStephanopoulos suck more than StormyDaniels In the words of Metallica Sad but True!

I read through the whole of this article and found nothing to support this stupid and dangerous headline. May be you've got something to gain by your erroneous portrayer if DT. Can't find any 'flurry of falsehoods'. Fake ABC News.

The most oppressor ever become American president because no one can appose his ideas or he fires what's that. Listen your colleagues have the right to discuss any issues they are not printers that printed misspelled words

Does anybody even know how this man has stayed president? He removes protections from our food, water and air, allows his corrupt cronies to run our country and destroy it for oil and coal, makes fun of the handicapped and molests women. We are a sad country indeed to allow this

I wish the media would stop referring to them as 'falsehoods', the word is 'LIES'.

*Lies

I look forward to the day when the only ones who have to listen to his lies are the prison guards.... CNN

For crying out loud people, this really should NOT BE A SURPRISE. Trump is a LIAR! How much more proof do you need! Raymond Burr would have wheeled himself out of the courtroom a year ago!!!

Can the media be honest, give him credit where credit is due? Nope.

LiarInChief

AP FACT CHECK: Trump twists facts of child migrant deathsWASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump, in his first public words about two migrant children who died in Border Patrol custody, misrepresented the circumstances of their deaths as he sought to deflect any responsibility from U.S. authorities. All the facts are not established, but Trump twisted what is known. He said both Guatemalan children were in dire health before their apprehension, yet they cleared initial health screenings and one of them was in U.S. custody for five days before suddenly falling ill. CORRECTION: Two migrant children, who sick prior to ILLEGALLY entering the US,.... It's not his fault You really should put this story up against Obama and the media's reaction to the 7 that died during the Obama presidency. Its valid.

Facing pressure, networks fact-check Trump speechNEW YORK (AP) — Television pundits moved swiftly to correct or challenge President Donald Trump following Tuesday's Oval Office speech on the proposed border wall, after their networks were the target of an unusual debate over whether they should show him at all. Diehard Trump fans won't be swayed by fact checking results that show he has (again) distorted facts about what & who have been 'illegally' crossing the border w/ Mexico. The coercion-based system is THE Problem!

AP FACT CHECK: Trump pitches wall as magic bullet for drugsWASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump made an untenable case Saturday that a Mexican border wall would be a magic bullet for America's drug problem. Drugs from Mexico are primarily smuggled into the U.S. at official border crossings, not remote lands that can be walled off. His proposal to end the government shutdown implicitly recognizes that reality by proposing money to improve drug-detection technology specifically at land ports of entry. Even so, Trump pitched a wall as a solution to drugs and crime. A look at his remarks: And everyone gets a cut. Should have tweeted this 6 hours ago His fear mongering only works on his low-information base.
