[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one can top Trump claiming to have had the biggest inauguration crowds.  That is the yardstick by which all future fake news will be measured,[/quote]

I disagree.  His claim was stupid and false, but it didn't hurt anyone.  Unlike the claim that the Covington kid actually did something, which he didn't.  Or that Trump voters attacked Smollett, which they didn't.  [/quote]

It hurt the entire country when he started normalizing the idea of “alternative facts.”[/quote]

It's even worse than that.  It hurts the credibility of the government, it pits Americans against each other in that some foolishly and gullibly believe what he says while others are angered and outraged about being lied to and gaslit.  It hurts the credibility of the US internationally, but worse yet, Trump is actually basing policy decisions on his lies which in turn does actual harm to millions, for example his lies about Obamacare and attempts to repeal, his lies about climate change, et cetera.

Cry me a river. 
Obamacare was built on one huge lie.  Or, actually - many. 
You can keep your doctor.  You can keep your plan.  It will save you money.  
All of them - lies.  [/quote]

80% of Americans did in fact keep their existing doctors. But do go on with the bullshit GOP talking points.[/quote]
Ok, liar. Who told you that? -DP[/quote]
