This guy is such a lying sack. People in this board love to say democrats engage in the gaslighting "accuse others of what you yourself are doing" tactic (and they do), but there's no plainer example of this behavior than Trump during this 2024 campaign. He's telling lie after lie to try to paint his actions like DeSantis' and DeSantis' as his own.
Also as the tweet says, I don't think a guy who says he doesn't know who gave Fauci a presidential commendation while he himself was serving as president will be doing much swamp draining.
Kelly: not only did you not fire Fauci, you made him a star. You made him the face of the corona virus talk force
Trump: you think so?
Kelly: you gave him a presidential commendation
Trump: uhhh I don't know who gave him the commendation
Kelly: it's a PRESIDENTIAL commendation
Trump: I don't know who gave him the commendation
Trump: he shut down Florida!
Kelly: ...For a month

Absolutely brutal exchange. Trump claims he doesn’t know who gave Anthony Fauci a presidential commendation while he was president when pressed by Megyn Kelly.
