He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

When Tr*mp mistreats a journalist at a press conference, all the other journalists should just get up and leave.
And they should not need to be told this.
