Caution to Readers: this will be painful.

Let's begin where we usually begin with Trump: the lies. “Never has there been a president, with few exceptions, the case of FDR – he had a major Depression to handle – who’s passed more legislation who’s done more things than what we’ve done,” Trump said, his eyes trained on cameras. “We’ve achieved tremendous success,” Trump continued. “We’ve been about as active as you can possibly be at just about a record-setting pace.” Anyone want to chime in on what "tremendous success" he is talking about? No one? How about this: “Never has there been a president...who’s passed more legislation who’s done more things than what we’ve done.” Want to name some of that legislation or how he did more things than previous presidents? No one?

Facts: No matter that the Republican-controlled Congress has not passed a single major piece of legislation since Trump took office. Or that his budget was laughed off by lawmakers as “magical thinking”. Or that his travel ban remains tied up in the courts. Or that the former FBI director James Comey, whom he dispatched in a shocking turn of events, testified under oath that Trump had asked him to shut down an investigation into his former national security adviser’s ties to Russia.

What follows could be a Monty Python skit but the painful part is its real:

Oops, sorry folks. The Sugar Police are here and told us any airing of this honeyed, sappy, syrupy, drippy meeting could instantly k**l any diabetics and rot the teeth of all who listen. We are being forced to drop our coverage. Again our apologies.
