CNN ^ | 11/16/2019 | Daniel Dale

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is dishonest about a whole lot of things. But he is rarely as comprehensively dishonest as he has been about his dealings with Ukraine and the impeachment inquiry they have triggered.

Relentless deceit has seemed to be his primary defense strategy in the court of public opinion. Trump has made false claims about almost every separate component of the story, from his July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the whistleblower who complained about the call to Democrats' impeachment inquiry hearings.

The President is dissembling about so many different topics at once that it can be difficult to keep track of what is true and what isn't. To help you fight Trump-induced dizziness, here are brief fact checks of 45 separate false claims Trump has made on the subject of Ukraine or impeachment.

“”We think this one was the worst: As Turkey attacked Kurdish areas of northeast Syria, Trump said, “In the meantime, our soldiers are not in harm’s way — as they shouldn’t be — as two countries fight over land that has nothing to do with us. And the Kurds are much safer right now, but the Kurds know how to fight. The Kurds were obviously not at all safer.””

Well, shoot - I got through the first AND WORST as CNN says and if they had a FACT in there instead of an OPINION, I sure don’t see it.

“Have at it!”

I’d like those items to be discussed, one by one, perhaps debated, by people close to the investigation.

CNN (pot) calling the President (kettle) dishonest (black)?

CNN should look in the mirror and give itself 5 Pinocchio's.

Translation: You’re dumb, we will tell you what to think.

My conclusion: Those that watch CNN are REALLY that dumb.

LOL. Still no questions to Democrats and McCain on Ukraine.
I mean spending billions to overthrow a legit government and install a Nazi junta, stealing gold reserves, fomenting civil war, dismembering Ukraine and arranging billions in ‘aid’ to take it back for themselves in kickbacks. Democrat and Romney’s kids on boards getting seven figures for doing nothing...
But you see the idea. All of the above ‘debunked’ although I missed when and how it was ‘debunked’.
Yep, nothing to see here but that Trump said or didn’t say on the phone is important. /s

"Kurds are much safer right now, but the Kurds know how to fight"

That is even a correct opinion. As our troops are still there before they leave they're safe. but the Kurds know how to fight which means when our troops are gone they can take care of themselves.
