Donald Trump has been president for only, like two months now. I think everyone can agree that it feels more like two years. He may be failing as president, but he never fails to make the world simultaneously laugh and cringe with his ridiculous statements on Twitter. Here are 5 (of many) lies tweeted just in the month of March:
1.) “Obama is spying on me!”
Trump started March off strong, accusing former president (yes, former president. I know. It hurts.) Barack Obama of having his “wires tapped” in Trump Tower during his campaign and right before winning the election.
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!

I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017
How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

According to FBI Director James Comey, there is no information whatsoever that supports Trump’s allegation. Sorry Trump, Barack has better things to do with his time.
2.) “Americans only!”
Trump’s entire platform runs off the idea of “putting America first.” His plans are buying only American-made items and just giving Americans the jobs.
Buy American & hire American are the principles at the core of my agenda, which is: JOBS, JOBS, JOBS! Thank you @exxonmobil.

It seems to apply to everything besides his own empire. According to The Daily Progress, Trump Vineyard Estates is requesting to hire 29 foreign workers this season through the federal H-2A visa program. His son Eric Trump initially applied to hire six foreign workers in December, but asked for an additional 23 two months later. Trump Winery has not responded to their request for comment. Nothing to say now, huh?
3.) “Trumpcare is better than Obamacare!”
Trump has been openly critical of The Affordable Care Act throughout his campaign. One of the first things on his agenda as president was to repeal it, doubting its effectiveness and ultimately claiming he can offer something better.
Our wonderful new Healthcare Bill is now out for review and negotiation. ObamaCare is a complete and total disaster – is imploding fast!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 7, 2017
We are making great progress with healthcare. ObamaCare is imploding and will only get worse. Republicans coming together to get job done!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 11, 2017
ObamaCare is imploding. It is a disaster and 2017 will be the worst year yet, by far! Republicans will come together and save the day.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) recently released an analysis report on the GOP’s plan to replace Obamacare. According to the report, the repeal would lead to 14 million more uninsured Americans next year and 24 million more uninsured Americans by 2026 relative to current law.
As expected, many people have a problem with this. About 47 percent of voters are against his plan because they finally realized it completely screws them over and Trump knows it. In fact, in a recent interview with Fox News, he admitted it.
4.) “Nobody respects women more than I do!”
In honor of International Women’s Day, Trump tweeted his “support” and “appreciation” of all women.
I have tremendous respect for women and the many roles they serve that are vital to the fabric of our society and our economy.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 8, 2017
On International Women's Day, join me in honoring the critical role of women here in America & around the world.

Hmm, where do I begin? Well…here’s a 2-minute video of Trump disrespecting women.
Here’s Trump signing an anti-abortion executive order the day after the 44th anniversary of Supreme Court Case Roe v. Wade.
No one respects women like Donald Trump, who signed an anti-abortion executive order today surrounded by nothing but men. pic.twitter.com/eSFfzZ9OiS

Here is Trump, who routinely shakes hands with his male counterparts, blatantly ignoring German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s request to shake hands for the photo-op.

Need I say more?
5.) The Snoop Dogg Incident
In Snoop Dogg’s new music video “Lavender”, there was a mock execution of a clown dressed like Donald Trump. Went Trump got word of it, he wasn’t too happy and as he does best, took to Twitter about it.
Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 15, 2017
Trump implied that if somebody were to have done that to President Obama, they would’ve gotten in trouble for it. Really? Because from what I remember, people were hanging fake Obamas from trees and setting them on fire.
Do better, Donald.
