THIS is why the best laid plans go astray...

I don't want to respond to every stupid ass comment President tiny hands makes. I KNOW that he is lying or stupid (or gets all his information form Fox News).  But still - things like this make my head explode.



Let's take this ONE TWEET - which the President and his team says are official US Policy - and look at it.

The "Reason I canceled my trip to London..." this isn't true. He cancelled because he didn't want to be protested. I don't call this a lie, because while I can speculate on his reasoning, it is beyond anyone to follow it.

"...Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London..." LIE. The decisions was made by the Bush Administration before Obama was even elected, because of the inability to secure the centrally located embassy in London.

"...for "peanuts",..." LIE.  Actually the cost of the new embassy was very expensive, but it was entirely funded by sales of US properties in London.

"...only to build a new one in an off location..." LIE. The new embassy is closer to the official British government buildings, including walking distance to British intelligence agencies.

"Bad deal" LIE - In fact while the US owned the old embassy building, we did not own the land under it. It could not be secured, it was farther from British working government offices and was in the congestion pricing program, where we racked up $15 million dollars in fines.

And this was 1 of over a dozen tweets including ones where he said:
  • "The Democrats seem intent on having people and drugs pour into our country..."  Yeah, that's what we believe in.
  • "The language used by me in the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used."  Which, despite being an inept sentence seems to indicate he is trying to say he didn't use the words "shithole countries", which would be a LIE.
It's exhausting and painful to not comment on our liar in chief - hand size not withstanding.
