OMG! This dummy is repeating the "U.S. steel for the Keystone pipeline" malarkey again

Trump is at a podium telling that story for the umpteenth time, how he is the only person to ever have asked, "Why aren't we using American steel?"

He's still spewing that even though it's not going to be U.S. steel making that pipeline.

Can we have a precedent this clinically disassociated from fact and truth?

Where do we draw the line?

He is talking to his base, and he has proven time and time again that he knows his base well, and he will continue to play them so long as he sings their songs.

Find a line that's a crowd pleaser, keep using it, no matter how thoroughly it's been discredited. After all, today's audience doesn't know it's bogus and that's all that counts, right?

then I want to know why the repube's Draft-&-Tax Dodger-in-Chief is not giving us full credit for the steel, when we held up our end of the deal and queered the US election results for him and his republican comrades.

Coal jobs are not coming back, the industry is dead.

There's no such thing as "clean coal", its an alternative fact.

The government cannot force private companies to buy US goods without a separate contract.

Without regulations, there won't even be a milksop given to public health and safety.

If the "free market" worked, why is Trump putting his fat thumb on the scale and tipping it away from renewable fuels, the fastest growth industry?

The car makers are not making more cars because of anything Trump said, that decision, like all his similar claims, was made months ago.

If the free market works as conservatives claim, "...why is Trump putting his fat thumb on the scale and tipping it away from renewable fuels, the fastest growth industry?"
