Donald Trump, the president who’s never had any compunctions about telling mistruths and lies in front of a camera (heck, the man has never met a camera he wouldn’t lie to), recently declared himself the healthiest commander in chief in America’s history.
Now this claim would be hilarious even without the mounting visual evidence to the contrary, but the thing to understand about a man who once looked Jerome Powell dead in the eye and lied about Federal Reserve renovation costs—insisting “$3.1 billion” came from the Fed’s own documents while Powell stood there shaking his head in disbelief—is that he will never let a pesky thing like “reality” get in the way of a good boast.
