Seriously?  The POTUS made over 4K false and misleading statements and your concerns are the typos and the fact that military personnel have a pool on how many lies Trump will tell?  THAT is the focus of your concern for America?  Typos?????

My focus is not to go around answering nonsensical questions or posts like has been made over several topics.  Presidents, including Democrats, have been saying things that are not true for years.  But the military must not have much to do when they sit around and take bets on lies the President says.

Have a good day.....

CriticalThinking:  PanJ, this can't be true. Last week, RK told us his Supreme Leader is NOT a pathological liar.

Hmmmm. He's correct in a crazy way, because Trump is reciting those pesky alternative facts you see, so in la-la land they are not lies.

Just blows my mind about the number of lies and untruths tweeted by Our President.  Some Milatory (sic) personal (sic) have a pool regarding the number of false tweets .

Trump is in No way a positive role model.   My sincerest thanks to you for All the factual information you post.  Nancy

Why aren't those military (Milatory?) personal (sic) paying attention to their assignments instead of gambling in a pool?  Why are they passing information, including that of operational movements that you have been reporting on to a civilian.

You will notice the conservatives have not commented. That is because they are allergic to facts.

Richva: And the Republicans still respect the man who has locked up children and made 4, 229 false or misleady claims to date.  

Love is blind.

It turns out that’s when the president decided to turn on the spigots of false and misleading claims. As of day 558, he’s made 4,229 Trumpian claims — an increase of 978 in just two months.

That’s an overall average of nearly 7.6 claims a day.

When we first started this project for the president’s first 100 days, he averaged 4.9 claims a day. But the average number of claims per day keeps climbing the longer Trump stays in office. In fact, in June and July, the president averaged 16 claims a day.

Put another way: In his first year as president, Trump made 2,140 false or misleading claims. Now, just six months later, he has almost doubled that total.
