Among other things the President’s speech to Congress was filled with lies, such as the debunked stories about Social Security, or making fun of funds for “transgender mice”, or mocking an African nation “no one’s ever heard of.”

Trump forces have said he’s not going to cut Medicaid, while in fact they’re already trying. He says they’re going to end childhood cancer while supporting environmental policies that are known for contributing to it. Many Republicans in office today are going along with things they know are wrong.
