Trump: DACA recipients are flooding in from Mexico.
To be eligible for DACA you must have entered the USA before your 16th birthday and prior to June 2007. How are people flooding in now?

Four-star general Michael Hayden:
“I have wasted 40 years of my life” if Trump’s lies represent “who we are”

Uncovered Tape Shows Trump Lying to Get Onto Forbes 400 List
| Quote: | | A tape recorded in 1984 appears to show Donald Trump impersonating a Trump Organization official and lying about his wealth in order to get onto the Forbes 400 ranking of America’s wealthiest people. Posing as “John Barron”—an alter-ego name Trump frequently used with reporters—the now-president insisted he had almost complete control of his father’s real-estate empire and should be called a billionaire rather than a millionaire. In The Washington Post on Thursday, journalist Jonathan Greenberg wrote: “When I recently rediscovered and listened, for first time since that year, to the tapes I made of this and other phone calls, I was amazed that I didn’t see through the ruse: Although Trump altered some cadences and affected a slightly stronger New York accent, it was clearly him.” Greenberg suspected a lot of the assertions from “John Barron” were untrue, but said Forbes’ estimations of Trump’s wealth ($100m) proved to be well beyond what he actually had in the bank ($5m). Neither the White House or the Trump Organization responded to questions about the uncovered tape. |

| Quote: | President Donald Trump repeatedly lied for decades about his net worth to attain a higher spot on the famed Forbes 400 list and brand himself as New York's wealthiest real estate developer, according to a reporter he encountered in 1982 for the magazine’s first such list.
Journalist Jonathan Greenberg described how Trump originally claimed that year to be worth $900 million when he was contacted for Forbes’s inaugural wealth list, the reporter wrote in a story published Friday by The Washington Post.
Trump reportedly cited a supposed 80 percent stake in the Trump Organization’s real estate empire, consisting of an apparent 23,000 apartments across Staten Island, Brooklyn and Queens. He also said he had vast control of the property, not his father, Fred Trump.

Donald Trump claimed each of the apartments was worth $40,000, but when Greenberg questioned Trump’s valuation, the budding real estate titan replied, “OK, then $20,000 each.”
Applying his own valuation of $9,000, Greenberg concluded that the Trump family was worth $200 million, with Donald and Fred each valued at $100 million on the first Forbes 400 list.
However, when that list was being compiled, Trump actually had no stake in his father’s company and was worth less than $5 million, according to the report. And Fred Trump did not relinquish ownership of his company until his death in 1999.
Trump even deployed Roy Cohn, his infamous lawyer, to convince Greenberg that Trump had as much as $500 million in “liquid assets, just cash” alone and that Trump’s worth had nothing to do with his father’s empire.
“This is Roy. Roy Cohn! You can’t quote me! But Donny tells me you’re putting together this list of rich people. He says you’ve got him down for just $200 million! That’s way too low, way too low!” Cohn said in a recording made by Greenberg of their conversation.
“Listen, I’m Donny’s personal lawyer, but he said I could talk to you about this,” Cohn continued. “I am sitting here looking at his current bank statement. It shows he’s got more than $500 million in liquid assets, just cash. That’s just Donald, nothing to do with Fred, and it’s just cash.”

But Cohn refused to show proof of the bank statement. |

Trump told Comey he never slept in Moscow. But he did.
| Quote: | WASHINGTON — The newly released memos by FBI Director James Comey reveal that President Trump repeatedly pushed back hard on claims that he once consorted with prostitutes in Moscow, claiming that he didn’t even spend a night in the Russian capital during his 2013 trip there.
At a Jan. 27, 2017, private dinner with the president, Comey wrote, Trump was adamant that the claim about hookers in Moscow, made in a dossier compiled by a former British spy Christopher Steele, was a “complete fabrication.” He told Comey he had checked with associates and was reminded “that he didn’t stay overnight in Russia” on the trip, during which he presided over the Miss Universe contest. After flying into Moscow in the morning, he “departed for New York that same night,” Trump told Comey, according to one of the former FBI chief’s memos.

But there is abundant evidence that Trump’s account to the FBI director was false: Social media posts, photographs and the account of at least two associates — including Trump’s former security chief — indicate that Trump arrived in Moscow on Nov. 8, 2013, spent the night at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, and didn’t leave the city until after the Miss Universe was finished late on the evening of Nov. 9.
Indeed, Trump himself had previously boasted of spending more time in Moscow than he admitted to Comey. “I called it my weekend in Moscow,” Trump said during a Sept. 15 radio interview on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”
As recounted in the book “Russian Roulette” by myself and David Corn, Trump flew to Moscow on Nov. 8, 2013, aboard a plane owned by Phil Ruffin, a wealthy Las Vegas casino magnate, after attending a celebration for evangelist Billy Graham’s 95th birthday the night before in North Carolina. Trump then attended a lunch that day with Russian businessmen at the Nobu restaurant, a swank eatery co-owned by actor Robert De Niro and Aras Agalarov, a billionaire oligarch who was Trump’s partner in the Miss Universe pageant.
A photograph of Trump in front of the Nobu restaurant, standing in broad daylight side by side with Emin Agalarov, the pop-singer son of Aras Agalarov, was posted by the restaurant on its Facebook page. It is dated Nov. 8, 2013 |

President Trump Made 1,950 Untrue Claims in 2017. That's Making His Job Harder
| Quote: |
When President Trump sat down with the New York Times for an interview recently, he said something untrue about every 75 seconds.
That’s not just the usual political boasting and grandstanding. Those were actual, verifiable claims which professional fact checkers investigated and found to be untrue.
For example, Trump said in the interview that “virtually every Democrat” has said that the Trump campaign did not collude with the Russians during the 2016 election, while there was “tremendous collusion” between Democrats and the Russians. |

Hey religious right wackos, when swearing to god is that a capital crime to you religious right lying and God in the same sentence?
| Quote: |
Speaking about Trump’s “very disturbing” Thursday interview with “Fox & Friends,” Maher said the president had broken “his own record for lying within a sentence.” “I swear to God, he was talking about CNN, and he said, ‘I don’t watch it at all. I watched it last night,’” he said. |
