The King's Speech

On Tuesday, March 4th President Trump addressed a joint session of Congress.  I do not begrudge our President the opportunity to take a victory lap; particularly on the heels of six busy weeks of cabinet hearings, executive orders, reductions in force, court hearings, spending freezes, tariffs followed by pauses, starts and follow-up pauses of the the latter.

The speech was exceedingly long however; meaning the volume of dubious claims or lies was target-rich.  Nothing new under the sun; nevertheless, worthy of truthful daylight.  Consequently, from time to time one of more of the King's gems will be featured here.

Enjoy. 

“We inherited from the last administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare.”  

Nonsense.  I have covered the subject of the economy more times than I can count.  All you have to do is click on the the subject Economics Label on the left side of the page or in the bottom margin of this post.  Recent detailed coverage here.  Only weeks before the election, the Economist newspaper published a cover story declaring that the U.S. economy was The Envy of the World.
