If exaggeration is biggest problem ...

Posted June 05, 2017 1:00 am

In response to the article "Trump and his wordplay" by Fareed Zakaria.

Zakaria wrote that president Trump tends to exaggerate. If that is president Trump's biggest problem then he is way ahead of the previous presidents. President Clinton spoke into the camera and said, "I did not have sexual relations with Monica Lewinski." All of America saw and heard the blatant lie. President Clinton got impeached for what the press and the Democrats called an indiscretion.

President Obama said on television dozens of times that the affordable care act will allow people to keep their insurance, keep their doctor and save $2,500 per year. We now know, and President Obama always knew, that what he was saying was a blatant lie.

Mr. Zakaria said that president Trump overestimated the square footage of his apartment in Manhattan. Mr. Zakaria, president Trump's lie is infinitesimal compared to our previous presidents that blatantly lied and got a pass.

Let's face reality that President Trump is the president and probably will be the president for the next eight years. Nit picking just makes the press seem very childish and immature.
