Now stop amplifying his lies by repeating what said/tweeted verbatim.
I’d like to see/hear something like “Trump told 12 lies in the last week about a “caravan” of people walking across Southern Mexico.”
“Trump repeatedly exaggerated the number of people, made unsubstantiated claims that Middle Eastern terrorists were included in in the group.”
“Trump also claimed that he would order the military to stop the invasion. However calling it an invasion is not accurate when talking about unarmed civilians and it isn’t clear that the military could be used this way legally, due to the Posse Comitatus Act, that limits using the military for domestic law enforcement.”

We Democrats keep acting as if we expect decent behavior from the repugnant goons-we should not
The repugnant goon part has adopted a scorched earth policy dating back for decades.
It is import to remember Trump isn't some aberration of republican philosophy, he is just the next logical step in dishonest, scorched earth politics. Fox Noise and hate radio paved the way for Trump to spread conspiracy theories. Don the Con just took the lying to another level.
Expecting today's repug party to act in good faith is a mistake. Nothing matters to them except winning.
Susan Collins will of course have different standards of behavior for Democrats and repugnant goon politicians - and judges.
Mitch Mcturtle will of course consider delaying Obama's SCOTUS pick for a year nothing and scream bloody murder at the idea of slowing down the nomination of Sir BoofsALot.
In retrospect, expecting anything other than a whitewash regarding the supplemental investigation of barfing Brett was really naive. They weren't going to follow up on the allegations of Debra Ramirez because the allegations were true and the goons didn't want any information to derail the confirmation, so they made sure that the FBI didn't ask for corroboration.
Sexual assault allegations are also no big deal to repugnant politicians and to their base if you have an R by your name.
Perjury, smurgery, so what? It's okay for Kav to lie about his drinking under oath, but it was an impeachable offense for Bill Clinton to lie about a consensual affair.
Bottom line is that we should expect that they are going to behave like this. We should quit letting any expectations of decency from these thugs cause us disappointment or cause us to drop our guard. They are lying, opportunistic thugs and that is going to be their MO at every turn.
We should attack the lies and corruption every day without repeating the right wing talking points.
Some democratic politician should get in front of a camera every morning and give the daily Trump lie briefing for the prior day, saying something like "Trump lied 6 times yesterday, twice about immigration, three times about the economy and once about the Mueller investigation." These statements should be matter of fact in tone, maybe prefaced with a statement that Trump has told X number of verifiable lies so far in his presidency, making it clear that Trump lying 6 times is a day is nothing unusual. It is not acceptable behavior, but at this point it is expected, because Trump is a serial liar.
Further explanation would be fact checks avoiding the RW rhetoric, something like, the Trump described a group of non-white immigrants as criminals, when historically, these people commit fewer crimes than citizens born in the USA. He claimed that immigrants that were seeking asylum had entered the country illegally, when they had not.
