President Donald Trump stated that he would present the facts plainly and honestly. He was calm. I wondered what was in the water he was drinking. There are days that I would like just a sip of what he was drinking.
He spoke to congress. Some statements were true. Other statements were half truths. Everyone knows that omissions show what could be considered the alternative truth. a child knows that alternative truth is just a covered up lie from a litter box.
For example, health care premiums did increase in some states. Not all states had an increase. Many still get their insurance from their employers. So read the links below. They have listed the lies, exaggerations, and omissions well. Form your own opinion and become informed. An informed voter keeps the leaders in line.
I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
