Trump makes 67 false claims in 5th-most-dishonest week as president
WASHINGTONDonald Trump stood before a gathering of Ohio Republicans and warned the party faithful that the national motto, In God We Trust, was under threat.
Did you see some court ruled against it the other day? Trump asked.
No court had ruled against In God We Trust the other day. Nor the other month. There have been no recent rulings against the use of the phrase, groups on both sides of the issue told the Star.
In the same speech, the U.S. president boasted about praise he has received from a Democratic state legislator in New York, Dov Hikind, over his deportation of a Nazi labor camp guard.

Hint: Hikind has supported only Republicans for years. Trump often lies for no apparent reason, other than to hear himself talk.

Do they teach journalists in JSchool not to use the word, "lie"? What Trump is saying are straight up lies.
