Donald Trump makes 22 false claims, including big lies, in rambling trip to White House lawn
(The Star Environment)
 


WASHINGTON — U. S. President Donald Trump had nothing on his public schedule for Friday, other than a noon intelligence briefing. So he had time to amble out to the White House lawn and do a half-hour interview with his favourite morning show, Fox and Friends, and then to take 18 more minutes of questions from reporters.He lied a lot. Here is a list of his false claims:Fox and Friends interview1) “President Xi, he’s a great man, he’s a wonderful guy, but at some point we have to straighten it out.

And that’s what the Democrats gave us.”No law, let alone a Democratic law, requires Trump’s administration to separate children from parents detained at the border.
