Trump Signed 96 Laws In 2017

[Concerned]

“When President Trump signed the $1.5 trillion tax cut bill on Friday at the White House, he made a bold claim — that his "legislative approvals" were off the charts. "No. 1 in the history of our country," he said, citing 88 as the number of bills he had signed into law.

The actual number of law Trump signed this year is 96. His claim of historic achievement isn't accurate, either.”

The President has had many accomplishments:  judicial appointments, executive orders, pulling out of the climate accord, yet most folks know that he hasn’t had all that many legislative achievements.  Why claim to have the most “legislative achievements” in history when it’s so obviously demonstrably untrue?

This is the kind of bullshit that turned me off of him in the primaries.  Why lie?  Why exaggerate the truth when it is so easy to verify?

Because Trump is a pathological liar; he simply can’t help himself.

I can't think of another plausible explanation.  It doesn't even fit in with his whole thing about repealing 2 regulations for every 1 new one.

Because he's a compulsive liar who can't seem to help himself?

You mean pathological like a child molester?
