Ignorance is Strength Week 2

In an effort to keep a running tally of the misrepresentations the Commander and Chief, here are the Ignorance is Strength list form week 2.  This does not include the whopping statements from staff like the Bowling Green Massacre by Kelly Ann Conway or the whole Muslim Ban chaos. These are just the statements by Leader of the United States:

  • Claimed to be cutting $600 million from the F35 fighter planes on January 30.
  • Tweeted that only 109 were detained because of the Muslim ban when it was actually thousands detained or kicked off of airplanes to America (between 60,000 to 90,000).
  • Said the Apprentice was the #1 show (never happened) and asked to pray for the ratings on Celebrity Apprentice at the the National Prayer Breakfast.
  • Harley Davidson was a victim of dumping so Reagan put a tariff on other motorcycles. 
  • Called a Federal Judge who was appointed by a Republican and approved by the Senate a "so-called" judge.  
  • Also in response to the court reversing his Muslim ban, Trump said, "When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot , come in & out, especially for reasons of safety &.security - big trouble!"  This does not address the current vetting of immigrants and refugees to the United States. 
  • "Because the ban was lifted by a judge, many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country." This is more of a half truth because there could be many good people who will discover the cure to cancer pouring into the country. 
How long will the Trump voters continue to accept these misstatements?
