And we can no longer count on the highest court in the land. We haven't been able to count on it since at least 2000. The country has been subjected to a hostile takeover by the Corporate/Republican complex.He boasted that he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, then complained that he wouldn’t win.
He said he doesn’t know far-right pundit Ann Coulter.
[...]
He contradicted his chief trade negotiator on negotiations with China. He promoted North Korea as an ideal location for economic development.
[...]
U.S. President Donald Trump made an unfocused stream-of-consciousness case for his immigration emergency while also musing at length about a variety of related and unrelated topics.
[...]
And he dismissed concerns about his plan to grab money that had been allocated to the military.
“Some of the generals think that this is more important. I was speaking to a couple of ’em, they think this is far more important than what they were going to use it for,” he said, not naming them. “I said, ‘What were you going to use it for?’ I won’t go into details, but didn’t sound too important to me.”
[...]
But he also said he thought he might well lose in the initial case, then again on appeal. Speaking in a singsong voice as he offered a series of unusual predictions about the next steps in the case, he said it was only at the Supreme Court where he hoped to get a “fair shake.”
[...]
Rejecting his own government’s conclusion that most drugs that come in through Mexico are smuggled through legal ports of entry rather than unwalled desert, he declared that this was “all a lie.”
Rejecting official data that shows the number of apprehensions at the southwest border is less than a third what it was two decades ago, Trump said, “We have far more people trying to get into our country today than probably we have ever had before.”
Rejecting studies that show illegal immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than native citizens, Trump said, “You don’t really believe that stat, do you? Do you really believe that stat?”
And rejecting human trafficking experts who have said that a large percentage of victims come through legal ports of entry, Trump said that this is impossible, since border officers would notice “three women with tape on their mouth.” Experts say victims are usually tricked or coerced into crossing, not physically restrained.

Impeach the motherfucker.
It's not just the media whose information he disparages, but now he's also calling even his own government's data. Training his base to believe only him. We are in a very dangerous time of a rising autocrat. A racist and ignorant autocrat.
