Lying Trump, GOP create their own reality. Which one do you choose to live in?

President Donald Trump, officials from his administration and a huge swath of the Republican Party lie as easily as they breathe.

Americans are perpetually bombarded with fabrications and fabulist nonsense from the president’s mouth, from behind the podium at the White House briefing room, from podcasts, from Fox News hits and from the halls of Congress.

Like no administration before it, including Trump’s previous one, this gang of dissemblers is bullishly creating an alternate reality and a disinformation shield impenetrable to facts. So the question for Americans amid this onslaught of propaganda is simple: Whose reality are you going to live in, yours or Donald Trump’s?

In Trump’s world, Democratic-led cities are war zones, prices are down, inflation is down, he has personally ended an ever-increasing number of wars, nobody cares about the Jeffrey Epstein files, his approval ratings are skyrocketing, and the country is “hotter” and more unified than ever.

In the real world, there are no cities burning to the ground (crime, in fact, is down considerably in Democratic-led cities), prices are up, inflation is up, Trump isn’t the war-ender he claims to be, a strong majority of Americans want the Epstein files released, Trump’s approval ratings are in the toilet and Gallup recently found that only 29% of Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in the country.

Well put, and I don't know what reality MAGATs are living in when they go to the grocery store.,
