When President Obama said that he visited “57 states and one more to boot, Our media kind of put that away in a closet somewhere. Passed it out as a "joke".
A Muslim "President" doesn't know how many states are in the country he represents??

Please...we don't want to go back to this again...... V**E!

PeterS

Because Obama misspoke. With Trump, every other word would be a misspeak.

EmilyD

MISSPOKE? OH, right......it's a "mistake"....not a lie. Bupkus, PeterS... bullpucky,

V**E, Republicans. v**e. Get out there and v**e !!!

EmilyD

Trump knows how many states there are in the US.
Obama showed his true colors when he "mispoke"

debeda

Yeah, the left "misspeaks" and the right "tells egregious lies". Lefty semantics are alive and well.....

debeda

PeterS

Why would someone lie about there being 57 states?

PeterS

And I will ask the same question: why would someone lie about there being 57 states? Obama misspoke. The question begged is why can't you rightwing lunatics get over it?

debeda

Because that's what our former president did. He knew very little but when questioned would spout some b.s. with great authority......

PeterS

Ah, I see. Well, Trump certainly can't be accused of that, can he...

EmilyD

Because he was a Muslim, who didn't know what the heck he was doing in America.

EmilyD

Trump knows how many states he is presiding over.

old marine Loc: America home of the brave

The best thing about President Trump is he is a true loyal American and not a phoney Muslim pretinding to be a loyal American.

President Trump follows the laws of the land as President while ex-president Obama ignored the laws he swore to uphold and enforce that he disagreed with or hindered his criminal agenda.

President Trump removed stupid rules and regulations that drove American businesses overseas. Ex-president Obama made rules and regulations that made buisness have to move overseas to survive.

President Trump had kept every promise he made when running for President. Ex-president.obama ignored every campaign promise he made.

President Trump refused his $400,000 annual salary and donated it to charities. Ex-president Obama took every cent of his $400,000 annual salary and during his 8 years a couple of trillion dollars of taxpayers money were missing from various governments accounts that erre unaccounted for which later showed up in his and his administrations personal bank accounts.

God bless an honest President for a change.
