Do you know why you have to swear to tell “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” when you testify in court? Because deliberately omitting relevant facts constitutes a lie, even if what you say is factual. So saying that Florida did worse than New York is a lie, because using the raw mortality numbers is not “the whole truth”. Using per capita numbers as well as the age adjusted numbers (accounting for the much higher population of senior citizens) is critical, especially since COVID was especially deadly to those over 65. Using age-adjusted figures, Florida is not even in the top 10 worst states. Adjusting for both age and per capita mortality, Florida is somewhere in the middle of the pack. And that does not even take into account the differences in the economic and educational impact.

But Trump praising Cuomo does tell us something about him. It says that Trump believes lockdowns, vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, sending COVID patients into nursing homes with vulnerable seniors were the right things to do. Because that is exactly what Cuomo did, and according to Trump, he did better than Desantis, who did none of those things except a short lockdown at Trump’s behest.

Trump didn't "praise" Cuomo. Now you lie.

So, you would say that cardillo lies about things against Trump, as multiple tweets he has put out today, alone, shows?

To be clearer, seeing how the desantis supporters twist things around all the time...

So, you would say that cardillo lies and does not tell the truth, when he post tweets about Trump that portray Trump in a bad image or way, as multiple tweets he has put out today, alone, shows?

DeSantis locked down Florida. DeSantis locked down travelers from my state to FL. Trump never believed in vaccine mandates.

I'll repeat what you asked. Do you know why you have to swear to tell “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” when you testify in court? Because deliberately omitting relevant facts constitutes a lie".
