Leid Stories—Trump’s Big Con; Minding Our Own Business—12.21.17

Knowing the president’s penchant for lying and gratuitous overstatements about his business acumen and success (which is also lying), we should be very skeptical about his “Christmas gift” of a $1.5-trillion budget that will cause a rising tide of prosperity that will lift all boats.
