The War on Truth Continues- Trump log #23

I am not sure if it is worth reporting what Trump says anymore. Does he just say whatever he thinks sounds good? Whatever is off the top of his head? The aircraft carrier that he said was heading to North Korea is heading towards Australia now. Or does he think having a veil of confusion surrounding his administration will keep the world on its toes and give him the upper hand?

I told myself that I would stop writing these Trump logs if I could go one day without finding something to include on my weekly list of daily Trump anxieties.  I assumed I would have been done by now. I don't go looking for them. I just read the news and they fall on my lap.

4/12/17 - Trump is using the health care of millions of Americans as a bargaining chip. (Source: Politico)

4/13/17 - Trump's Secretary of Education, DeVos, is backing away from rules designed to assist students with their loan debt. (Source: New York Times)

4/14/17 - Trump's EPA is refusing to ban chlorpyrifos, a dangerous chemical. When asked Pruitt, his EPA head, cites business concerns. (Source: New York Times)

4/15/17 - In 2013 President Obama launched the National Commission on Forensic Science to bolster the validity of the forensic science. Anyone in law enforcement or who has been accused of a crime, should be concerned about the validity of forensic science in its pursuit of the truth. Trump's Attorney General, Jeff Sessions is cancelling the Commission. The assault on science and truth itself continues. (Source: New York Times)

4/16/17 - Trump says he can't be sued for inciting violence at one of his campaign rallies because he won the election.  Um ... that's not how it works. (Source: Washington Post)

4/17/17 - Trump's administration is perhaps the most secretive since Nixon's. (Source: Washington Post)

4/18/17 - Democrats in Congress and about a dozen Republicans have united in their demanding of Trump releasing his tax returns. They are refusing to consider any of Trump's tax reforms until the returns are made public. Looks like we have another campaign promise that he won't be able to fill. (Source: New York Times)
