What was significant about Sean Spicer’s first day as White House Press Secretary was that Trump was NEVER going to tell the truth—even about trivial things we knew, from our own two eyes, were bullshit.
[THREAD]
[THREAD]
1/ Over Trump’s four years in office, the lies became more consequential, the gaslighting more refined. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was better at it than Spicer, and Kayleigh McEnany turned it into an art form.
2/ The disinformation continued, bolstered by Fox News and Newsmax, OANN and Alex Jones, Facebook and Twitter, and Trump’s Republican enablers.
And the lies never stopped. Trump never came clean.

3/ Trump never told the truth about the (sparse) inauguration crowd.
He never told the truth about his campaign’s many contacts with high-placed Russians, including key Russian intelligence officers.

4/ Trump never told the truth about his taxes. Has the IRS finished, at long last, its eternal audit? Has Godot finally arrived?
5/ Trump never told the truth about his inheritance, the source of his wealth, his true net worth, his multiple bankruptcies, his outstanding debt, or his curious relationship with Deutsche Bank.
6/ Trump never told the truth about his wife Melania’s immigration history: how his piece of Slovenian arm candy happened to obtain an “Einstein visa,” or how her parents, Communist Party hardliners, were allowed to take up residence here.
7/ Trump never told the truth about his health. He never admitted to not being six-three, or clinically obese. He never revealed why he was rushed to Walter Reed that day in 2019.
8/ Trump never told the truth about the dozens of women he sexually assaulted, harassed, abused, and raped.

9/ Trump never told the truth about his relationship to organized crime (not that anyone in the Beltway press thought to ask).
10/ Trump never told the truth about his relationship with Vladimir Putin—how often they talked, what they discussed, why he allowed those Russian jackals into the Oval Office the day after he fired Jim Comey...
11/ ...why he kept trying to steal away with Putin at the various international summits, why he took Putin’s word over that of the U.S. Intelligence Community, why he appeared in Helsinki at the twerp’s side with the slavish bearing of The Gimp from "Pulp Fiction."
12/ Trump never told the truth about Ukraine.
He never told the truth about the pandemic response.
He never told the truth about the results of the election.

He never told the truth about the results of the election.
13/ And Trump will never tell the truth about besieging of the Capitol on January 6, or his role in the insurrection—the worst attack on our democracy since Booth shot Lincoln.
14/ “But all politicians lie,” you might counter. Not true! All politicians SPIN. There is a difference. Gaslighting is not spin. And it is toxic to the republic.
15/ Fact check:
January 6 was a planned putsch, a coordinated attack on our democracy, which took place with Trump’s knowledge and blessing.
Trump lost the election, bigly—by seven million votes.

16/ Jared Kushner greenlighted a Blue State Genocide, because he thought he could blame the covid-19 deaths on Democratic governors and help Trump in the election (and, also, he wanted to make a buck).

17/ Trump tried to extort the president of Ukraine, hoping that an investigation into the Bidens would help his election chances. To do this, he threatened to withhold U.S. aid.
Putin owns Trump.
Putin owns Trump.
18/ The son of a mob front man, Trump has been a creature of organized crime his entire life. The only reason he hasn’t been caught is because he is a Confidential Informant for law enforcement.

19/ Trump is a serial rapist.
Trump suffered a serious malady that caused him to be whisked to Walter Reed. His health is imperiled by his drug abuse, poor diet, and morbid obesity.

20/ Melania Trump is no Albert Einstein.
21/ Trump is a serial bankrupt who squandered his ample inheritance, and is massively in debt.
The audit was always bullshit.

22/ Trump’s campaign had numerous contacts with Russian nationals, including Russian intelligence officers who specialize in election fuckery.
