A familiar pattern. Trump's sycophants only cherry-pick positive news to show him because they are afraid to show him the truth, providing rocket fuel to his natural predisposition to lie about everything. bsky.app/profile/atru...

In 2019, Trump declared that ISIS had been “100% destroyed” after losing its territorial caliphate in Iraq and Syria. While it was a significant achievement, history shows that making grand statements can be misleading
