Trump's Alternative facts:
1) Under Obama's executive order on immigration visa restrictions, if you were a Muslim, you got in, if you were a Christian it was impossible
2) Philadelphia murder rate is terribly increasing
3) there was serious voter fraud and 3-5 million illegals voted in the last election
4) the crowd for my inauguration was the largest ever
5) I just saved us $700M on the F-35
6) the nation's murder rate is the highest in 47 years
7) only 109 people were affected by my immigration restriction executive order
8) many terror attacks are not being reported by the media
All of these statements are not true, falsehoods, distortions, lies...can we trust our President to tell us the truth?
Fact of the matter is that to a politician, facts don't matter. They don't matter much to 98.4% of the population, either. Unfortunately for President Trump, the courts seem to think that facts, and evidence, do matter. It will be interesting to see how that relationship develops....Administration can continue to avoid anything truly factual and find other ways to undermine the courts and get their way....or they can shift to more evidentiary, and fact-based exclamations....It's going to be difficult to beat down legal challenges with threats of expensive trials, blackballing, settlements or bankruptcy filings. I kinda feel bad for whoever has to serve as White House counsel for the next few years...unenviable position
