3. Lies: When misstatements, become the rule, the result is a lie! When a public official bends down on those lies and attacks anyone who exposes it, it creates an atmosphere of confrontation, polarization, which hurts our nation!

Four. Fake Facts / Fake News: President Trump often refers to the media as fake news, while pointing out his mistakes and lies as false facts. Independent political fact-checkers have claimed, this president tells more than 6 lies a day. Simply because you disagree, it does nothing, it is false!

5. Real facts: Everyone has the right to have their own opinion, but not their own set of facts.
