Trump's claims hypocritical

President Donald Trump has banned reporters from CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. Trump accused them of being fake news outlets. The ban should be removed because it is unconstitutional as it is an attack on the free press. It is also hypocritical, as Trump himself is the biggest purveyor of fake news.

There are volumes of lies that Trump has told. I will list a few. Trump has lied and whined for six years claiming he won the 2020 presidential election. He said he would settle the Russia war with Ukraine within 24 hours after being sworn into office in 2025. He said Mexico would pay for the wall being built on the southern border. He said Department of Government Efficiency refunds and tariff refunds would be issued to the American people.

Trump has said that the United States is the only country that allows birthright citizenship and voting by mail.

Trump often erupts and chastises reporters when he is asked difficult questions. He will not take responsibility when something goes wrong, such as the disastrous repair of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. He has called people who have been critical of him some very derogatory names, such as weak, low-IQ losers. I believe that term is a perfect description for Trump.
