So called "truthful hyperbole" was cute when Trump was not President of the United States, just a losing real estate mogul who's daddy money got him gong and his reality show kept him going.
Now his truthful hyperbole is raping America.
It has been accepted and normalized to lie, lie, lie as the President of the United States tells amazing tales to move people to a tribalism tat they wear t-shorts saying "Rather be Russian than Democrat." My response is "Rather be American than Republican."
"Trump rally T-shirts read, 'I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat'"

"This picture was taken by Cleveland.com reporter Jeremy Pelzer at a Trump rally at the Olentangy Orange High School in Ohio on 4 August 2018:"
The guys feel Trump is doing his best and people should not criticize his Russian ties since Obama was not criticized for . . . . . what? Brain dead?
"Although some viewers may have been shocked to see the phrase “I’d Rather Be a Russian Than a Democrat” on a t-shirt at a rally for the president of the United States, this slogan can be found on a variety of products offered for sale by several different retailers:"
"Are These ‘I’d Rather Be a Russian Than a Democrat’ Shirts Real?"
A photograph of two men wearing "I'd Rather Be a Russian Than a Democrat" t-shirts was taken at a rally for President Trump in Ohio.

"‘Facts develop’: The Trump team’s new ‘alternative facts’-esque ways to explain its falsehoods"
by Aaron Blake August 6, 2018
"
As president, Donald Trump has uttered more than 4,000 falsehoods or misleading statements. And the spokespeople and advisers tasked with squaring Trump's version of reality with actual reality must often contort themselves accordingly. Early in the administration, this meant Kellyanne Conway talking about how the administration had “alternative facts.” Later, it was Sean Spicer explaining that he didn't “knowingly” lie to the American people.
On Sunday, they tried a couple of new tacks: asserting that “facts develop” and saying that the president “misspoke” — while saying something he has said dozens of times.
The first came on ABC News's “This Week.” In light of Trump's problematic new tweet about the 2016 Trump Tower meeting, George Stephanopoulos challenged the president's personal attorney Jay Sekulow on two past, disproven assurances that Trump hadn't authored the initial, misleading statement about it. (That statement said the meeting was “primarily” about the adoption of Russian children.)"
Facts develop, facts change, or maybe alternative facts are born . . . . .to cover up crimes!
"Here's the exchange (emphasis added):
STEPHANOPOULOS: You said the president wasn’t involved in any way at all. Later, Sarah Sanders changed that. She said, oh, yes, the president weighed in but didn’t dictate anything. And then in January of this year, the president’s legal team, including you, sent a memo to Robert Mueller saying this: “You have received all the notes, communications and testimony indicating that the president did dictate a short but accurate response to the New York Times article on behalf of his son.”
So why did you deny President Trump’s involvement? When did you learn that the denial wasn’t true?
SEKULOW: Well, let me tell you two things on that one. Number one, as you know, George, I was in the case at that point, what, a couple of weeks? And there was a lot of information that was gathering and as my colleague Rudy Giuliani said, I had — I had bad information at that time and made a mistake in my statement. I’ve talked about that before. That happens when you have cases like this.
As far as when did we correct it, the important part is the information that we’ve shared with the Office of Special Counsel — I’m not going to get into the details — but we were very clear as to the situation involving that trip and the — and the statements that were made to the New York Times. So I think it’s very important to point out that in a situation like this, you have — over time, facts develop."
So we now have the "PERFECT STORM" of lies to cover crimes against the United States and many, many, many complicit people, including lawyers and law enforcement in the Justice Department.
