Sean Spicer lies once again about inaugural viewership

During his first full official press briefing, the press asked Sean Spicer once again if he stands by his claim that Trump's inauguration was the most watched. Spicer replied with a misleading statement:

"Sure. It was the most watched inaugural. When you look at... look, uh... you look at, just in, one network alone got 16.9 million people online. Another couple of the networks, there were tens of millions of people that watched it online. Nevermind that the audiences here 31 million watched it on television. Combined it with the tens of millions of people who watched it online, on a device, it's unquestionable. I don't, I don't... and I don't see any numbers that dispute that, hen you add up attendance, viewership, total audience, out total audience in terms of tables, phones... uh... on television, I'd like to see any information that proves that otherwise."

DAY 4: Fake executive order to against the TPP

Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), after he attacked the TPP during the campaign.

There's only one problem with that: Congress had not approved the TPP and President Barack Obama had already stopped efforts to get the TPP approved. Obama suspended its push to get the trade deal approved by Congress on November 11, 2016, knowing that Congress would not vote on it.

Fake Obamacare repeal and screwing over home owners

Trump made sure the media was present at the Oval Office the evening of January 20, 2017, to see him sign an executive order against President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

Legally, Trump can't stop the law. Only Congress can repeal it or change it. And although both houses of Congress passed a budget bill defunding the ACA a few days before, it had not been signed into law yet.

So in order to create the image that Trump was repealing Obamacare "from day one", he signed an executive order telling all federal agencies to provide "relief" from the ACA in the form of suspending all provisions of the ACA that collected fees, taxes and regulated the health care system.

Trump's Bane speech

Right after being sworn in as president, Trump delivered an inaugural address that included the following line:

"Today, we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another, or from one party to another — but we are transferring power from Washington, DC, and giving it back to you, the people."

A lot of people immediately noticed the last part of the speech was plagiarized from a speech delivered by Batman's archvillian Bane from the 2012 movie The Dark Knight Rises. This wis what Bane said the movie:

"We take Gotham from the corrupt! The rich! The oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity, and we give it back to you, the people."
