CNN: Lies, lies, lies: How Trump's fiction gets more dramatic over time
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump told a story in January about the farmers, ranchers and builders who stood behind him at a 2017 event where he signed an executive order to weaken an Obama-era environmental regulation.
"They were strong, tough men and women. And half of them were crying," Trump told an American Farm Bureau convention.
We checked the video of the signing ceremony. Nobody standing behind Trump was crying. Most of them were smiling.
Trump told the story again at a shale industry conference Wednesday. This time, there were even more imaginary tears.
