Trump Lies About Veterans' Care



As his lies climb on an hourly basis, demagogue and pathological liar Donald "Rump" Trump couldn't resist telling a whopper on the solemn occasion of Memorial Day. Bragging that he passed the "Veterans Choice" bill after "45 years" of other Administrations failing, the truth is that President Obama's choice program allowing veterans to see doctors outside the VA system at Government expense was passed in 2014.

Trump's Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert Wilkie has also caught Trump's lying virus, claiming credit for bringing down wait times at veterans hospitals, when in fact the wait times have been declining since 2014 during the Obama Administration.

On a related topic, Trump should thank President Obama  every day for handing him a robust economy after rescuing it in 2009 from years of Rethuglican mismanagement. Not gonna happen, of course.
