"So sad"

"So sad" said Trump during his bizarre talk from the White House - I think those words fitly describe his whole speech. He lied continuously throughout, blamed everything but the Lindbergh kidnapping on the Democrats, and turned building the wall akin to a religious crusade.

Here The New York Times fact checks all he said ... Trump’s Speech to the Nation: Live Updates and Fact Checks

An example ...

“The federal government remains shut down for one reason, and one reason only: because Democrats will not fund border security.”

False.

Democrats have offered $1.3 billion in funding for border security measures like enhanced surveillance and fortified fencing. They do not support Mr. Trump’s border wall. At a meeting with Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Schumer in December, Mr. Trump took responsibility for the partial government shutdown. “I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it,” he said.

All this sturm und drang is about one thing only ... Trump and his invertebrate Republican sycophants staying in power by hook or crook or dead-head base support. They are unworthy to run this country.
