Can't stop lying about everything, and he's so desperate now to not expose himself with this as putin's puppet, he had to promote propaganda to try to make himself look good,but no one believes him anymore.

we can be sure he's far exceeded 150 deaths in a number of ways....

* war assistance in Syria,
* war assistance in Yemen,
* continuing low-level wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,
* bombings in several nations such as Somalia,
* unknown number of deaths of migrants and refugees by ICE and DHS agents,
* prisoner deaths due to neglect in privately owned U.S. prisons,
* premature deaths due to reduced support and funding of the ACA, Medicaid and Medicare,
* hundreds dead from economic sanctions and trade blockades against nations such as Venezuela, Iran and North Korea, and
* numerous others such as reduced support for supplementary nutrition programs for youth and elderly that eventually result in premature deaths.

I'm sure there's more but each of those listed probably exceeded the 150 deaths number......

Appears his priorities are restricting women's access to health care and waging war on immigrants. Zero concern for their rights.

Fighting them won't be the "cakewalk" of Iraq.

Also, Putin overruled Bolton.

He reached the point where he scared himself, and realized what the fallout would be.
