Ted Lieu slam dunks Donald Trump
With his world collapsing around him in real time, Donald Trump spent Christmas holed up in the White House amid the government shutdown, whining on Twitter about how sad and alone he was (strangely, Melania was there at the time), and dreaming up fantasies about somehow salvaging his illegitimate and failed presidency. One of those fantasies involved magically funding a portion of his mythical border wall. It didn’t go well.
Donald Trump posted this tweet: “I am in the Oval Office & just gave out a 115 mile long contract for another large section of the Wall in Texas. We are already building and renovating many miles of Wall, some complete. Democrats must end Shutdown and finish funding. Billions of Dollars, & lives, will be saved!”
Various respondents pointed out that, thanks to Donald Trump’s poor grammar and usage, he had just unwittingly stated that he’d signed a contract that was 115 miles long. But Congressman Ted Lieu took a rather different approach to dissecting Trump’s nonsense.
Ted Lieu posted this in direct response to Donald Trump’s fantasy tweet: “On Merry Christmas Eve, POTUS is lying again about already building his wall. This is what caused conservative media to go berserk on Donald Trump in the first place. They understand Trump has not delivered on his promise that a wall be built and that Mexico pays for it.” Lieu is right; even Trump’s lackeys can see that he’s utterly failing in his increasingly histrionic attempts at building the imaginary wall they want so badly.
