When women’s unemployment is the lowest in 66 years, Trump makes it “74 years.” When overdose deaths drop for the first time in 28 years, Trump makes it “over 30 years.” I wrote about his endless exaggeration — and how these little lies are hard to combat: https://t.co/LhxwUHuhWZ — PolitiTweet.org

How exaggerations work for a Trump even if they’re fact-checked: you gotta amplify the real number to check a fake one. (“Actually, unemployment is at a 66-year low.”) Then his supporters, and others, see the media as nitpicking to avoid giving him his due. Round and round we go. — PolitiTweet.org
