White House says Trump ‘is not making anything up’
By MICHELLE L. PRICE

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt didn’t answer why Trump falsely asserted on Monday that Iran has access to the U.S.-made Tomahawk cruise missile, the weapon likely used to strike a girls school in Iran, killing 165 people.

She responded in part that “the president has a right to share his opinions with the American public”

Leavitt was asked about Trump’s shifting explanations in which he said Iran was going to strike the U.S. first, but offering a variety of different timelines in which he said that would happen.

Leavitt said Trump’s statements were “a feeling the president had based on facts.”

When asked why other U.S. leaders or Israeli leaders were not making the same assertions and if Trump was “making this up” to justify the war, Leavitt responded by saying “The president is not making anything up.”

In human language, it means he's making everything up.
This has been a public service announcement.

Everything he says he will do , he hasn’t done .

We need to act on those parameters … he lies about everything .

It can’t be that hard to understand .
