LIES TOLD BY @realDonaldTrump JUST NOW:

1. “I wasn’t a fan of Jeffrey Epstein.” FACT: He once called Epstein a “terrific guy.”

2. “Mueller’s report found no obstruction.”
FACT: Mueller identified TEN “obstructive acts” committed by @realDonaldTrump.

@realDonaldTrump 3. "crooked" social media companies "censor" or are "unfair" to conservatives, working to undermine, or "colluding" with Democrats.
FACT: There is no evidence to support any of this, other than the fact that Twitter, Facebook, Google/YouTube have enforced their terms of service..

...against people or organizations who happen to support @realDonaldTrump and have broken their rules against disinformation, hate speech, harassment, etc.

4. China is paying tariffs.
FACT: Tariffs are taxes paid by Americans.

@realDonaldTrump 5. Democrats don't want an accurate census.
FACT: Both Democrats and Census Bureau career professionals were AGAINST adding an untested citizenship question to the 2020 census because it would depress response rates among Latinos and make the census LESS ACCURATE.

@realDonaldTrump 6. "Only the fake news" would say that getting citizenship data from non-census quotes is inferior to using well-written survey questions.
FACT: Extrapolating population data from unrelated info is less accurate than a survey & could be illegal under a 1999 Supreme Court ruling.

@realDonaldTrump 7. "Nobody else [but @realDonaldTrump ] could have gotten [Veterans choice]."
FACT: @BarackObama signed the Sanders-McCain VA choice bill into law in 2014.
