No technically maybe "he didn't lie".
He just "misled" how many people because he's a fucking drama queen.
In reality, the media lied about what he said and misled them. He was just being clumsy.
I watched the video.
Clumsy is tripping over your own feet. He and his cabinet are playing on people's fears and outright making shit up as they go along.
It's like watching someone shoot up with heroin and having them tell you "oh it's fine...they're diabetic". It is an outright insult to your intelligence and horrifying to watch.
Sure all politicians lie, Reagan lied, Clinton lied, Bush lied. But FFS at the rate they're going to surpass Nixon and it's been what... like a month???
People deserve better than this, in this nation and among our allied nations...they deserve to feel secure and feel like there is someone in control of the helm that actually knows a little about WTF they're doing. If he can't provide that, he should at least have the common sense when to STFU and not provoke fear and unrest.
