Trump Making False Claims About His DC Renovations
This article mentions several instances where Donald Trump is either stretching the truth, or just completely wrong about different aspects of his Washington DC renovation projects. The article contains numerous video clips of Trump discussing his plans to build a triumphal arch, and also clips of him lying about the size of the reflecting pool compared to the world's tallest skyscrapers. I find claims like these troubling, not because of the incorrect facts, but instead what they represent. Trump continues to lie about basic facts that can be easily fact checked in a way that very few presidents have before. It almost seems as if the American people have just accepted that this is who he is, and lying is something he does, which I find unacceptable. It is important to continue fact checking him, as it is important to ensure people know that the claims he is making are often times false
