47. I'm recalling something from his first term...

...and I'm too lazy to look it up at the moment, but I know it will ring a bell with a lot of DUers...

...he was lying about something in the realm of economics and declared that he was right because he had "THE" math. No matter how you looked at the numbers, it all added up to a lie, but he had some magical mystical financial data that was apparently something only he could access.

Sort of like right now, when he's saying there's no inflation, grocery prices have come down, and he did it all.

That's the same kind of "intelligence" he and Hegseth used before they blew up those ships.

It's that old axiom, "Are you going to believe me, or your lying eyes?"

I think I'll stick with my lying eyes.
