'Nobody
Special' suggests rhetorically that Donald Trump has made a difference in
America.
Without
a doubt, he has made a categorical difference. Let's have an audit.
Bear
in mind this lawful standard:
Making false statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001) is the common name for the United
States federal process crime laid out in Section 1001
of Title 18 of the United States Code,
which generally prohibits knowingly and willfully making false or fraudulent statements, or concealing
information, in "any matter within the jurisdiction" of the federal government
of the United States, even by merely denying guilt when asked by a federal
agent.
The
Washington Post and other media fact checkers report that the president
has told 13,435 lies while in office, according to Washington Post fact
checkers as of October 25, 2019. That in itself on a single count is breaking
the law and an impeachable offense. Trump is a confirmed liar.
If
you ask the Trump White House for a list, here is what you get:

The
first claim is false:
"GDP Growth Was
Higher on Average under Obama in 2014 and 2015 Than Compared to Trump in 2017
and 2018"
The
second claim is false:
There
are more Americans today than ever and therefore more are in the workforce, but
that has nothing to do with Trump. Obama could have made the same claim, but
didn't.
You
march down the list, and most of the Trump claims are lies and distortions.
