Well, it was another good day for fact checkers. The President after acting Presidential for three days reverted to form at a rally in Phoenix yesterday evening. While twisting the truth like a twisted pretzel, the President, the author of The Art of the Deal demonstrated, through his blame everyone else attitude, that he has not mastered the craft he professes to have. Instead of touting the deals he has not made yet on health care, taxes, and infrastructure, the President gave his base a lot of red meat ranging from giving an inaccurate accounting of his first reaction to Charlottesville to hinting at a pardon for former (now convicted but still Trump loyalist and fellow birther) Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to the usual slams on the media to chastising Arizona's two senators to threatening a government shutdown if his cherished wall on the southern border is not funded (so much for Mexico paying for it). In essence, the speech was short on accomplishments and long on the basic sewage he and his followers have been spewing for the last two years. It just proves what the majority of the country who voted for Hillary last year knew. This man is all bluster, no follow through. He is using our fears of the unknown and unwillingness to acknowledge the less than complimentary aspect of our shared history (please see link below) to mold a divided society where he and his ilk hope to achieve victory through running up the polls in the heartland. He figures that is the key to his reelection (popular vote be damned). We need to make sure the American People see through this with larger results in 2017, 2018, and 2020.
