USA Today, NYT covering all the blatant lies in Trump's CPAC speech

[wishstar]

The number of Americans lacking health insurance has fallen by 20 million since the Affordable Care Act was enacted, according to the National Health Interview Survey, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But Trump claimed the law covered “very few people.”

Trump: "Obamacare covers very few people — and remember, deduct from the number all of the people that had great health care that they loved that was taken away from them — it was taken away from them."
There are several ways to measure the change in insurance coverage under the ACA, and they all show a reduction in the uninsured in the millions. There’s no need to “deduct” anyone who lost insurance; the figures from the CDC show the total net numbers for the insured and uninsured in the country, as we wrote when Trump made a similar claim last month.

The latest CDC report, released in February, on the National Health Interview Survey — a survey of about 35,000 households conducted by the Census Bureau — shows that the number of uninsured Americans of all ages decreased from 48.6 million in 2010, the year the ACA was enacted, to 28.2 million for January through September 2016.

The country now has the lowest uninsured rate on record — 8.8%. The rate was 16% in 2010, and it has been declining every year since. (Historical data are here.)
Since 2012, the year before the ACA federal and state marketplaces launched, the number of the uninsured has declined by 17.3 million.

This article thoroughly debunks his lies about "fake" media, Sweden, immigration,welfare, Keystone Pipeline and Nafta jobs etc

[pinboy3niner]

1. Guinness should give Trump a World Record award for the most debunked lies ever

That's a presentation ceremony I'd love to see.

[gordianot]

2. Even when Trump is gone this disgrace will remain.

With all our laws and enforcement it happened here.

3. trump is a jealous insecure lying asshole.. and all those

people who suck up his lies need to get help aSAP.

[Cha]

4. Good on USA-NYT

[vlyons]

5. when he hold up his hand and makes the OK sign,

you know for sure that he just uttered a big turd of a lie out of his ass.

[Vinca]

6. If they're covering all of Trump's lies the paper must be a special double edition.

[wishstar]

8. It is an especially long indicting article-surprising for the right of center USA Today

and comments I saw on there weren't dominated by their usual Trumpsters complaining about liberal media bias- but I don't guess the brainwashed Trumpsters will read anything honestly critiquing him

[yallerdawg]

7. "POTUS: The most mistrusted name in news."

What kind of a delusional sociopath thinks he can get away with lie after lie after lie?

The more he gets called out, the more psychotic his response.

There is no way Republicans can "ignore" this now.

After the "State of the Union" speech to the world Tuesday evening, there is no way this will be allowed to go on.

[George II]

9. Nothing was "taken away" from anyone. There were a few hundred thousand people...

...mostly in the Northwest and mostly from one or two insurance companies, that got unusually high premium increases.

Why was that? Because the insurance companies were LYING to their customers, saying they were getting coverage that they weren't getting. So, in order to meet the minimum requirement of coverage they had to increase the premium to a level that it wuold have been for the coverage that they were telling their customers they had.

It was all because of crooked, lying insurance companies, not the ACA.

[logosoco]

10. Now that I think of it, has this man ever spoken anything truthful?

That would be newsworthy. All I have seen this past month (feels like years!) is a bunch of hateful double speak. Is this administration capable of doing anything honest? Seriously? What has he done or said that was truthful?

[Fast Walker 52]

11. most... dishonest... president... ever!!!!

God, what WON'T he lie about???

[dalton99a]

12. And there is no longer daylight between him and conservatives.

The GOP fully embraces him and his lies.

[oasis]

13. Trump spent his entire adult life lying and deceiving people.

"The Art of the Swindle".

[groundloop]

14. Iraqi weapons of mass destruction; People losing insurance under ACA.... ALL REPUKE LIES

It's what they do to retain power. I think to some extent we're seeing the constant big lies being put forth by 45* and forget some of the lies told by W and other previous repuke administrations.

[jimjc]

15. trump is a con artist crook!

He says anything to get what he wants, that's the con. We haven't found out what he's looking to get out of this Presidency and believe
me it's about him getting massive amounts of money. trump never does anything that doesn't make him money.

We need to be policing EVERYTHING he does and I mean everything including his family.

[spanone]

16. his entire administration is based on lies. little more.
