VietPress USA (June 18, 2018): As of May 2, 2018, Donald Trump has told more than 3,000 lies to the American public since being sworn in as President of the United States, setting a new record for both himself and the office of the Presidency. This amounts to roughly 6.5 lies per day, meaning that the frequency of the lies is increasing. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousinsdiscusses Trump’s lying problem, but also the problem of the supporters who blindly believe these lies.
If there is one thing that Donald Trump does better than any other president that came before him, it’s lying to the American. Just 466 days into his presidency, the Washington Post released a report showing that Donald Trump had lied more than 3,000 times in those first 466 days of his presidency. In fact, it was 3,001 lies that he had told to the public in those 466 days. More lies than any other president in recorded history for the United States of America. Another milestone for Trump. He is officially the most lying, dishonest president that this country has ever had. Those 3,001 lies, which at this point it’s actually more than 3,001, amount to 6.5 lies per day.(https://trofire.com/2018/05/02/trump-sets-new-record-by-lying-to-americans-over-3000-times-in-466-days/).
Today on Monday afternoon, June 18, 2018, in an address to the National Space Council at the White House, Trump performed another big lie when he continues to blames Democrat party for the family separation crisis caused by his immigration policy declared since April 6, 2018.
“I say, very strongly, it’s the Democrats fault,” Trump said. “The United States will not be a migrant camp and it will not be a refugee holding facility.”

Trump: 'The United States will not be a migrant camp'
President Trump on Monday again tried to shift blame for his administration’s controversial policy of separating immigrant families at the border to Democrats, while others in his administration threw up a variety of confusing, misleading and sometimes contradictory explanations and defenses.
“Why don’t the Democrats give us the votes to fix the world’s worst immigration laws?” the president tweeted. “Where is the outcry for the killings and crime being caused by gangs and thugs, including MS-13, coming into our country illegally?”
“Children are being used by some of the worst criminals on earth as a means to enter our country,” he continued. “Has anyone been looking at the Crime taking place south of the border. It is historic, with some countries the most dangerous places in the world. Not going to happen in the U.S.”
“CHANGE THE LAWS!” Trump wrote, adding: “It is the Democrats [sic] fault for being weak and ineffective with Boarder [sic] Security and Crime. Tell them to start thinking about the people devastated by Crime coming from illegal immigration. Change the laws!”
There is no U.S. law requiring that the children of immigrants entering the country illegally to be separated from their parents. The administration, unlike previous ones, is treating the adults as criminals and jailing them, which requires them to be separated from the children.
In an address to the National Space Council at the White House on Monday afternoon, Trump continued to blame Democrats for the family separation crisis while ratcheting up the rhetoric.
“I say, very strongly, it’s the Democrats fault,” Trump said. “The United States will not be a migrant camp and it will not be a refugee holding facility.”
“We want safety and we want security,” Trump added. “If the Democrats would sit down instead of obstructing we could have something done very quickly — good for the children, good for the country.”
Trump’s comments come amid growing bipartisan backlash over the Trump administration policy that has resulted in 1,995 children being separated from parents who are accused of illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border between April 19 and May 31.
According to Quinnipiac University poll released by Monday, 66 percent of American voters oppose the policy of separating children and parents when families illegally cross the border, compared to 27 percent that support it.
“I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zero-tolerance policy is cruel,” former first lady Laura Bush wrote in a Washington Post op-ed published on Sunday night. “It is immoral. And it breaks my heart.”
Many of the children separated from their families have been held in detention centers. In one facility toured by the Associated Press, hundreds of children were seen “in a series of cages created by metal fencing.” The children were given “bottles of water, bags of chips and large foil sheets intended to serve as blankets.”
On Sunday night, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen pushed back against mounting criticism by denying that the policy actually exists.
“We do not have a policy of separating families at the border,” she tweeted. “Period.”
On “Fox & Friends” Monday, Hogan Gidley, a special assistant to the president, said the policy of separating children from their parents is “all the Democrats’ doing.” But recent comments from members of the Trump administration would indicate otherwise.
