Despite being constantly dinged by The Washington Post’s Fact Checker and Politifact, Trump recycled more debunked lies today about Hillary Clinton and even added some new ones. Donald Trump’s speech today solidifies the fact that he just can’t stop lying to the American people.
The media and commentators weren’t fooled by his lies. Take a look:
