If you thought you’d heard all of the absurd bullshit that can possibly come from the mouth of a member of the Trump family, consider what Lara Trump claimed during an appearance on Fox News: Failed, one-term former President Donald Trump only made $4 a year as president.
Oh, and according to Lara, her father-in-law also “worked all day everyday for the American people.”
First we have the $4 a year statement, which The Independent notes, is apparently based on Donald donating his presidential salary:
She told Fox News viewers on Tuesday that the former US president took only $1 (£0.73) a year, or $4 in total, because he donated a large amount of his salary.
“I’m old enough to remember when we had a president who worked all day, everyday, for the American people, and by the way, took no salary.”
Not bad enough? Lara even asserted that Donald didn’t golf that much:
Lara Trump also said Donald Trump “clearly wasn’t golfing a quarter of his presidency.” But it was close: He played nearly 300 rounds over his single term in office, costing taxpayers more than $150 million. Millions of those tax dollars went into his own pocket since many of the golfing trips took place at his resorts.
However, while Fox Host Sean Hannity didn’t call Lara out for her blatant lies and gaslighting, Twitter certainly did, and she was quickly handed a well-deserved round of mockery and fact checking:
