The top 10 most brazen lies from Trump’s year-end prime-time address

As someone who worked in the private sector, there is no way you can run a government as a business.
One key factor is if you want to run the gov as a business you dont cut your Accounts Receivable department.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
