The numerous facts cited (contradicting Trump) might be a bit much for any Trump supporters to handle. I know you all prefer Trumps constant stream of lies. I'm embarrassed to be an American right now.

What President Trump Doesn’t Get About America

One longed, as Mr. Trump spoke, for a special kind of simultaneous translation, one that would convert Trumpian myth into concrete fact. It might have noted, when Mr. Trump sounded like a politician from the 1980s in promising to “get our people off welfare and back to work,” that the number of people receiving federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits fell by more than 70 percent, to 1.2 million, between 1996 and 2016. As Mr. Trump spoke about the disappearance of jobs, it would have noted that the unemployment rate has fallen from 10 percent in 2009, the height of the recession, to less than 5 percent.

Mr. Trump portrayed the nation’s closed factories as having needlessly hemorrhaged jobs to overseas companies. But even as production jobs fell by about five million since 1987, the country’s manufacturing output has increased by more than 86 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Trade is part of the complicated story, but so is automation.

I'm gonna assume you are just delusional. Which really speaks poorly of the quality of LAUSD teachers, but whatever.

This thread details multiple whoopers slung about President Trump:

Typical dimbulb argument. The only other argument you present is that there are people that lie or exaggerate about Trump. So ? That doesn't undo any of Trump's constant lies or laughable portrayal of America being in a shambles. Are you going to challenge any of the facts presented in the editorial I posted ? OF course not. That speaks to what counts as an argument in your world.

Next is where instead of presenting anything close to reasoning, you instead step up the name calling. Sad.

President Trump presented such a graceless and disturbingly ahistoric vision of America on Friday that his Inaugural Address cast more doubt than hope on his presidency.

Instead of summoning the best in America’s ideals, Mr. Trump offered a fantastical version of America losing its promise, military dominance and middle-class wealth to “the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs.”

With sweeping exaggeration, Mr. Trump spoke of “carnage” in the inner cities. He deplored all of this decline as a betrayal of America, implicitly trashing the four former presidents who sat listening behind him at the inaugural ceremony. Those presidents, Democratic and Republican, must have put Mexico first, or perhaps Sweden, or China. Offering himself as a kind of savior, the leader of a “historic movement, the likes of which the world has never seen before,” Mr. Trump proclaimed he would have a different priority: “America First! America First!”

Somebody needs to give Trump some LSD and sane him up a bit.
