Yes, unprecedented would be a falsehood. And a deliberate one I'm sure he is aware of but ignoring for the sake of making a stronger political argument to the American people. It would be a lie to tell people it was unprecedented. And I do have a problem with that.
But at the same time I cannot be too angry with him because its so common in politics to make statements like that. But that's just my opinion.
If he has to "sell" it to the American people with a falsehood, then should he be "selling" it at all? Why not go with the truth? If you're right, you shouldn't have to make anything up.
