LINK Fact checking Trump's CPAC speech - CNNPolitics

(CNN)Former President Donald Trump returned to the public stage on Sunday with a familiar kind of Trump speech -- a speech filled with debunked lies.

Most notably, Trump's first post-presidency address, at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, included his usual lies about the 2020 election. He continued to falsely insist he was the legitimate winner and continued to falsely insist the election was "rigged."

Trump repeated a bunch of other false claims we regularly heard from him as president, on subjects ranging from trade with China to his stance on the war in Iraq. He also offered up some new false claims about President Joe Biden's early days in office.

some one should start up that he rigged the election against Hilary and that she was the actual winner ,I wonder if his head will turn

He didn't really expect to win in 2016. His claim of the 2016 election being rigged was in preparation for his loss. When he won, he had no idea what to do for several months.

Why is anyone, shocked, he'll never talk about anything else, even if he gets his way.
His stable genius mind got vapor locked on the 2020 election.
Republicans are all such die hard snowflake victims, they make me sick.

Then there's the vaccine bullshit.
The BioNtech vaccine was invented and developed in Germany, by an immigrant Turkish husband and wife team. Nothing to do with Trump or even the USA. Pfizer only came in when BioNtech needed a partner for full scale trials. It has nothing to do with any Trump incentive. However, the following company, Moderna, did profit - hugely.

From the Guardian.
"The firm has had government funding – nearly $2.5bn – to aid the swift development of its Covid-19 vaccine, and it has been criticised for its pricing intentions, at $32-$37 (£24-£28) a dose.

The shares, however, have soared. Having hovered around the $20 level for the past two years, they took off in March. By Monday lunchtime in the US they were changing hands at more than $95, valuing the firm at about $38bn.

On the way up, the chief executive, Bancel, has cashed in, selling nearly $50m of shares from a plan set up in 2018. (The shares were sold automatically, when they hit a certain level – a similar arrangement to that used by the Pfizer boss, Albert Bourla, who received $5.6m from a share sale a week ago, just as Pfizer announced its vaccine success.) Other Moderna executives have also sold shares.

Fact checking Trump is such a waste of time! I just automatically assume that 95% of everything he says is anywhere from totally false to irrelevant and the other 5% an exaggeration. Saves lots of time.

Should be called Lying Confirmation.
