Form lawyer, Trump "fixer," lied to Congress, got caught, was convicted of lying to Congress.
Trump is OK, tho, we accept his lies, Trump constantly lies, all of his pathology he excuses as "truthful hyperbole."
What is America getting for all these lies - retreat from the world.
Trump failures are getting more frequent, and more harmful.
"Trump promised to shrink the trade deficit. Instead, it exploded."
By David J. Lynch March 6, 2019
"The Commerce Department said Wednesday that — despite more than two years of President Trump’s “America First” policies — the United States last year posted a $891.2 billion merchandise trade deficit, the largest in the nation’s 243-year history.
The trade gap with China also hit a record $419 billion, underscoring the stakes for the president’s bid to reach a deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping as soon as this month.
The department’s final 2018 trade report, which was delayed by the partial government shutdown, showed that the United States bought far more in foreign goods than it sold to customers in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. The shortfall topped the 2006 record of $838.3 billion, set as the housing bubble was peaking, and marked the third consecutive year of rising deficits."
Trump failed in Hanoi, raising expectations for a thing that will never happen, denuclearization of North Korea.
Trump failed with the 2019 budget talks, trying a fake National Emergency to get his Wall. There is
1. not a crisis; a real crisis is Climate Change, opioids, gun killings (including suicide - mentally ill need protection too; no exceptions to gun deaths), infrastructure . . . and
2. the law Congress passed to allow the President to declare National Emergencies does NOT include taking Congress' "Power of the Purse." Congress cannot legislate away their Constitutional powers.
Trump failed in his 2 hour plus speech to CPAC, failed to make sense as he continued to fake innocence for working with Russia to get elected. Trump made it appear more obvious to me that he knew about the Hillary Clinton emails before they were released by WikiLeaks.
