WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump made a striking claim Monday, insisting it was he who ensured that people with preexisting medical problems will always be covered by health insurance.

He wasn’t.

He also complained anew that Democrats didn’t allow him to send lawyers to the impeachment inquiry. The opposite is true: Democrats invited him to send lawyers to the inquiry and he said no.

TRUMP: “I was the person who saved Pre-Existing Conditions in your Healthcare, you have it now, while at the same time winning the fight to rid you of the expensive, unfair and very unpopular Individual Mandate.” — tweet.

2. We need to understand

We need to understand that a tyrant in waiting can say anything they want to and it is not deemed a lie by his loyalist followers.

He knows that. His show is about pushing that stuff out as a shock effect on one side and a dogma to the other. The basic point is to confuse and discredit everything as much as possible. That's how you slowly get a population ready for the final blow he intends to inflict on the country. We are being worked like a sideshow crowd with every tweet and false line he spews.

It is methodical and beyond any pathological lying. It is purposeful and it has a motivation to it. That's the thing to remember. Calling out the lies merely accentuates them, (I mean its okay, but) and underscores the Fascist strategy being effectively used to dismantle the system from news to social media to the functioning of government.

3. He's been on Twitter quite a bit repeating that lie.
