“The Most Egregious Lies From Trump’s NABJ Appearance” – The Root

During his recent appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) meeting, Donald Trump spouted a litany of lies that were so egregious, even his staunchest supporters must have cringed. Among the biggest falsehoods he repeated was his claim that he has done more for African Americans than any other president, a statement that is easily debunked by looking at his policies and actions during his time in office.

Another blatant lie Trump told during the event was his assertion that he has the support of the majority of African Americans in the United States. This claim is not only false, but it is also insulting to the intelligence of the Black community, who have been on the receiving end of discriminatory policies and rhetoric from the Trump administration.

The president’s pathological need to lie, deceive, and manipulate the truth not only undermines the core values of democracy, but it also erodes the trust of the American people in their government. When the leader of a nation consistently spreads falsehoods and disregards facts, it sets a dangerous precedent that can lead to a weakening of democratic institutions and the rule of law. It is imperative that we hold Trump accountable for his narcissistic lying, falsehoods, and crimes before irreparable damage is done to our democracy. (Source: The Root)
