President Trump is angry at NBC News for reporting that he wants to increase the size of the US nuclear stockpile tenfold. He says it’s not true and he called the report “pure fiction made up to demean” him.
But Trump once promoted his own “pure fiction” with the accusation that President Obama was born outside the US. This fiction was invented in an attempt to demean and delegitimize the first African-American president.
When Obama produced his birth certificate showing he was born in Hawaii, Trump insisted the birth certificate was fake and demanded to see the long-form birth certificate. When Obama produced that and it, too, showed Obama was born in Hawaii, Trump demanded to see Obama’s college applications, transcripts and other records, while asking how such a “terrible student” got into Ivy League schools.
Trump lied repeatedly about Obama. If NBC News really was inaccurate in their reporting, I feel no sympathy for Trump. When you intentionally and repeatedly lie about someone, you have no grounds to complain if someone lies about you.
