Reposted by Vinay KumaranRon Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 17/07/2026It was a nice touch for Trump to start out his primetime address to the nation with 24 consecutive lies in 5 minutes. Very subtle intro. Really set the tone for the vague international conspiracies that he outlined later. 792430519
