Trump's Inaccurate Claims About Highways, Immigration and Beyonc From a Pennsylvania Rally

what was said

“Highways would take 21 years to get approved. We have it down to two years, and it’s going to be one year very shortly.”

— President Trump, at a campaign rally on Thursday night in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
the facts

This is exaggerated.

Mr. Trump has doubled a previously exaggerated claim about the permitting process for roads and infrastructure taking a decade. Average wait times for a permit ranged from three to six years from the fiscal years 1999 to 2016, according to the Federal Highway Administration.

Trump is of low character and that is NOT my opinion...it is verifiable FACT.

EVERYONE needs to stop pretending this assclown is on the level or even respectable...he is a LYING PIECE OF SHIT and MENTALLY UNSTABLE, he never had any business being president of this country and hour by hour he retain less business staying in office.

Trump = LIAR, not inaccurate
