Thursday, the Washington Post published a remarkable story on its front page revealing a recent spike in the number of "false and misleading claims" made by President Trump. In his first year as President, Trump made 2,140 false claims, according to the Post. In just the last six months, he has nearly doubled that total to 4,229. In June and July, he averaged sixteen false claims a day. On July 5th, the Post found what appears to be Trump's most untruthful day yet: seventy-six per cent of the ninety-eight factual assertions he made in a campaign-style rally in Great Falls, Montana, were "false, misleading or unsupported by evidence."

Eb, that was a bit ambiguous.
Did you mean 'sad that is has been reported', or 'sad that your Sec of State can not control his temper'?
I'll hang up and wait for your answer.
