Melanoma lies as much as tRump does. In other words, all the time. Lying is one of the main features of maga and all the magats.

Anyone who claims they voted for tRump because of the economy was either woefully misinformed or they needed cover to justify voting for a Nazi. Everyone with half a brain knew that tRump would crash the economy.
