217639, Trump blames military/Obama for SEAL's death

Trump is actually trying to blame the botched military operation that he approved (but couldn't bother to be in the situation room for) on the military and Obama. Will Trump get a sign for his desk that reads: The buck stops anywhere but here!

I'm sure you meant he's blaming it on the Military and Obama.

He's also blaming Obama for the leaks at the White House.

And he's claiming that Obama's paying the protesters. Man, Obama's keeping busy in his retirement!

I suppose he was too busy watching cable news and tweeting to be there.

AP FACT CHECK: Trump takes credit he hasn't earned

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump boasted Tuesday night about corporate job expansion and military cost-savings that actually took root under his predecessor and gave a one-sided account of the costs and benefits to the economy from immigration - ignoring the upside.

A look at some of his claims in his prime-time speech to Congress: TRUMP: "According to the National Academy of Sciences, our current immigration system costs America's taxpayers many billions of dollars a year." THE FACTS: That's not exactly what that report says.

It says immigrants "contribute to government finances by paying taxes and add expenditures by consuming public services." The report found that while first-generation immigrants are more expensive to governments than their native-born counterparts, primarily at the state and local level, immigrants' children "are among the strongest economic and fiscal contributors in the population." This second generation contributed more in taxes on a per capita basis, for example, than did non-immigrants in the period studied, 1994-2013.
