President Donald Trump attempted to honor fallen veterans and prisoners of war.

For most Presidents, expressing gratitude for veterans and reverence for the loss of those who died serving the United States is one of the most somber aspects of the job.


For Trump—as he demonstrated—it was yet another chance to rail against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other so-called enemies who dared critique him.

Watch below.

The President said:

"She's dancing in the streets of Chinatown trying to say, 'It's okay to come to the United States, it's fine, it's wonderful, come on in. Bring your infection with you.' Then she said, 'He should've done it earlier' about me. These people are sick."

This was a lie. The House Speaker didn't "dance in the streets" when she visited San Francisco's Chinatown, but went there to tell tourists that there was no reason to fear Chinese people due to the virus. This was only necessary because of rhetoric like Donald Trump's insistence on calling it "Chinese Virus," which led to a documented rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, this wasn't Trump's only lie—as CNN fact checker Daniel Dale noted:


Trump once again took credit for the Veterans Choice Act, signed by Obama, which expanded healthcare options for United States veterans. He attempted to blame Obama for the ventilator shortage he insisted didn't actually exist.

Lies, lies, and more lies.




His false anecdote about Pelosi received particular backlash.



If you're tired of the lies, you must vote in November. Are you registered?

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

MAGA Is Having A 'DEI' Meltdown Over A Mixed Race Character In 'Toy Story 5'—And Fans Are Having None Of It

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
