Will Trump go back and apologize for his fake news?

Trump Takes Credit for Killing Hundreds of Regulations That Were Already Dead

As the Trump administration nears its one-year mark, White House officials are touting cuts to regulations as one of their top achievements.

“In the history of our country, no president, during their entire term, has cut more regulations than we’ve cut,” President Donald Trump said last month. His Press Secretary Sarah Sanders puts the total at nearly 1,000, an astounding accomplishment for the notoriously slow-moving federal bureaucracy.

But government records—and in some cases the agencies carrying out Trump’s policies—tell a very different story.


For one thing, only a handful of regulations have actually been taken off the books. That’s due to laws that keep government policies from wildly swinging back and forth every time moving trucks show up at the White House.

Rather, the claim of victory in the war on regulation is instead based almost entirely on stopping proposed rules that haven’t yet made their way through the machinery of government. The White House says it has killed or stalled 860 pending regulations. It’s done this by withdrawing 469, listing another 109 as inactive and relegating 282 to “long term.”

They actively and diligently police the media by pointing out every mistake (made by the perceived liberal media, while letting Fox, a Trump propaganda network, off the hook).

Unfortunately, those hard working posters are so busy with that task, the miss all the lies Trump tells America. I think we should help them out, and keep the board up to date with Trump's lies.
