I wonder if the main media even mentions the Trump lies when giving us the news. It happens so often that it seems to go right over our heads. Today three lies he told stand out to me. Two concerned the corporate tax rates of Ireland and China. He said that Ireland was lowering its tax rate from 12.5% to 8%, even though the financial Minister from Ireland had said it wasn't lowering its rate just this week. Trump went on to say that China's rate was 15% when it is actually 25%. Finally Trump after asking being whether he had called the families of the four military who had recently been killed in action? He said that letters had been written but he didn't know if they had been sent. He want on to say that other presidents, starting of course with the one he hates the most, Obama, didn't contact families. The news has reported on what he said about Obama but glossed over the other lies that stood out. I often hear from people I know who back Trump and they say they are not upset at all about his lies, that is just part of his "charm". Sometimes I wonder............
