Donald Trump LIED to the American people. Let. that. sink in.

He lied. He insinuated there were tapes of conversation between him and Comey. Now he puts out a tweet for all to see--says he has no idea about the tapes.

He is the President of the U.S. And he lies to us continuously!

It is hard to follow, because everyone is catfishing or reverse catfishing everyone else.

I am still trying to understand what is happening.

...or those who thought he would "change."

Or the ones who thought he had any intention of "helping" them.

If you follow the breadcrumbs, they all lead to this...Trump, doing what he's always done, on a larger scale, and with no accountability (other than his ego being assaulted by the fact that the media is watching).

He promised to replace Obamacare with something better and cheaper.

Once his voters learn that he's destroying Medicare, coverage and benefits for even the middle class as well as the poor, they are going to be mad as hell. Sadly with the lying media they read they may not figure this out until they personally have a healthcare crisis and find out what's not covered.

the repukes have it set up so that none of the damage will occur until after the 2020 election. True! Check it out for yourself...
You see, that way they can try to blame it on the Dems, who will clearly take back the white house by then.....(white house..what a joke, it'll be guilded in gold by then) and the unfortunate fools, mislead by the repukes will believe the line of new crap they plan to lay out there. No, we really have to get rid of the 'top' evil repukes, ryan, mcturtle, and their underlings before that happens.

They are not his usual blunt style; they are in lawyer-speak. He specifically says he didn't make and doesn't have any recordings. As Rep Schiff pointed out though, he could have had anybody else in the WH make and store recordings. So he might have recordings, but be hiding them and making his legal team craft those tweets to throw the public off the scent.

On CNN and MSNBC, host after host and guest after guest called him a liar all day. It must be driving him even more crazy than he already is. His whole life he surrounded himself with people afraid to call him out. Now he has the word "liar" synonymous with his name.
