Our president plays fast and loose with the truth. It’s his calling card, and Americans have almost become accustomed to discounting the lies that spew from his ridiculously thin lips.
One of the most amusing (for we have to be amused lest we slit our throats) lies he’s told is that he coined the term “prime the pump,” to be used in an economics context, telling a journalist from The Economist that he came up with the phrase.
A quick google search of the term reveals that it’s been around at least since the early 1930’s, meaning one has to spend money to make money.
In the 30’s, government money was lent to banks and industry in hopes that it would spur growth, and yes, trickle down to the little people. Whether it works or not is a moot point. Trump didn’t coin the freaking term.
So, did he lie or is he, the president, that damned ignorant?
I’m thinking of coining a few phrases of my own. How’s this one: “holy crap we are being led by a freaking idiot!” I know, it’s a bit long and probably won’t catch on. But you never know.
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Maybe we can start a hashtag #holycowwearebeingledbyafreakingidiot. It’s bound to catch on…or at least its sentiment!
