5. He's repeatedly told two other huge lies about his accident/disability.

He claims the accident disrupted his enrollment in/attendance of the US Naval Academy. In reality, his application was rejected, THEN he was in the accident. Attending the Naval Academy was never possible for him because he did not get in, period.

He claimed he was training for the Paralympics, specifically the marathon. He never once interacted with US Paralympics, registered, had his classification confirmed, or competed in a sanctioned event. If someone told you they were training for the Olympic marathon but they had never interacted with USATF or run in an official event, you would laugh in their fucking face.

He is, unsurprisingly, a Donald Trump-level brazen obvious liar. Easily disprovable lies.
