President’s recent lie towers over the rest

It is common knowledge the current tenant at the White House has little regard for the truth. The Washington Post has counted well over 2,000 lies uttered by the mendacious blowhard. But the one today towers over the rest.

He actually claimed he, unarmed and presumably without his security detail, would have rushed into the Florida high school under attack to confront the shooter armed with an assault rifle. In this fantasy, the corpulent 71-year-old would have miraculously dodged a deluge of bullets and by himself would have disarmed the culprit. Marvel Comics are you listening?

This balderdash from a five-times-deferred draft dodger who used evanescent bone spurs to evade his obligation for military service during the Vietnam War. Our hero, President Pusillanimous!
