    "When fact-checked by a reporter about his false claim that he signed into law the Veterans Choice bill, President Donald Trump swiftly ended a news conference with reporters."

    Trump claimed he signed the Veterans Choice Act.

    He didn't. That Act was signed by Obama in 2014.

    Trump signed the Mission Act in 2017, which extended and modified the Veterans Choice Act. That doesn't change the fact that he is lying when he claims he signed the Veterans Choice Act.

    He's a liar for trying to take credit for something Obama did, and a coward for running away from a press conference as soon as he is challenged on it.

    America deserves better than Trump.

    Wasn't there a thread about this already? It sounds familiar.

    I do not believe his actions are inconsistent. He doesn't seem to be the type that likes being questioned (ie. Axios interview).

    I really believe he is incapable of telling the truth.
    It is such a strange phenomenon to watch his supporters defend this or try to derail the commentary on it

    Burn him! Burn him! And while you're at it could you get Pelosi and Schumer too? We need a fresh start here.

    I didn't watch the whole briefing, but I've seen a couple of his "performances" recently and I am really astounded that anyone could vote for the guy. He rambles. He repeats himself five times in different ways. He says things that are inconsistent, minutes apart.

    He is, frankly, an embarrassment to himself, to the office and to the country.
