Trump's painfully difficult relationship with the truth... long after called on the carpet. Few stand in Trump’s way as he piles up the Four-Pinocchio whoppers By Glenn Kessler May 7 at 3:51 PM washingtonpost.com At the Fact Checker, we have often said we do not write fact checks to change the behavior of politicians.

ISIS is making a fortune now in Libya.” “ There are scores of recent migrants inside our borde* *rs charged with terrorism.” “You know who started the birther movement? Hillary Clinton. She’s the one that started it. She brought it up years before it was brought up by me.”* *Russian President Vladimir Putin “called me a genius”* ... Read the rest here: washingtonpost.com
